Is burning corn for heating a waste or helpless? Is it an insult or a sadness?
Recently, a man in Anhui Province posted a video on the Internet of using corn instead of coal for heating, which instantly attracted the attention and heated discussions of netizens.
A few big words in the video are particularly conspicuous: 8 cents is more than money, let's burn the stove more than coal.
It seems to be unremarkable, but behind it is the endless sadness of the farmers.
Sowing corn is very cumbersome, from the early stage of ploughing, to spring seedlings, sowing, fertilization, summer top dressing, weeding and a series of operations, to have a good harvest in autumn.
Like the north, it is better, the land is vast and sparsely populated, the land is fertile and large, and machines are used for cultivation and harvesting.
And in our south, most of the area is mountainous, the land is barren, the area of a piece of land is very small, and it is still on the slopes.
Therefore, the machine cannot be operated at all, and everything can only be done by hand.
Manual digging, artificial sowing, artificial fertilization...... By the time of the autumn harvest, it is still artificial.
One by one, they are broken off the corn stalks, carried home from the slope one by one, threshed, and finally dried.
When drying, you should always pay attention to the partial rain. (Summer showers)
The hardships and hardships of this can only be understood by those who have planted corn and robbed the partial rain.
Therefore, the grain grown with such hard work is only sold for 8 cents a catty, which makes the farmers feel embarrassed.
Netizen support:
A pound of corn costs 8 cents, and the coal for heating costs more than a piece, selling corn to buy coal, two catties can only be exchanged for one catty, and directly burning corn, a catty is a catty, and it can be regarded as making money in disguise.
Grain has a special feeling for rural people, but as long as the price of corn can be equal to the price of coal, and a pound of corn can be exchanged for a pound of coal, no one will use the grain that has been grown so hard as firewood.
Price Comparison:
A bottle of mineral water costs 2 yuan, and a pound of corn costs 8 cents.
Because mineral water is produced by capital, while corn is grown by farmers.
There is one of the cheapest brands called Farmer Brand. Everyone found that as long as the farmer can grow with his hands and water with sweat, what is really the least valuable.
Effect:
Farmers choose to use corn for heating, and if the trend expands, everyone follows suit, which may have a certain impact on the coal market and promote the volatility of coal prices.
The reason for the cheap food, overcapacity?
Rare things are expensive, and more is cheaper. A pound of corn costs 8 cents, is it because there is too much grain on the mainland, is there a surplus?
However, some netizens said: The main reason for the cheap grain is that the country imports a large amount of foreign grain, which lowers the overall price of grain.
If you can't sell your own grain and import it, are you afraid that the peasants will make too much money and go to the city to buy a house and speculate on the property market?
Or, as some netizens said: force farmers not to farm, let all the land be called abandoned land, and then rent and sell it to enterprises and companies for unified planting, and the state will make a profit from it.
If the peasants are not allowed to make money, and the peasants are not allowed to farm, what does it mean that the peasants exist?
The most bitter farmers:
Under the state policy, it is always the peasants who suffer, and when the country was poor in the past, it was practiced to subsidize labor with agriculture and pay public grain.
The peasants must first hand over the good grain they have grown to the state for a year of hard work, provide for the workers and soldiers, and build the motherland and defend the motherland.
The rest is the family's food ration for a year.
And now, the country is prosperous, the former workers are retired, and the peasants are old.
Workers retire with a salary of 6 or 7,000 a month, while farmers earn more than 100 a month. Pay an electricity bill and it's gone.
At last:
It is hoped that the national policy will give more care to the farmers, so that the farmers can see hope.
