#农民种地究竟挣不挣钱? #
Can you make money from farming? This question is what everyone wants to know, and it is what everyone wants to know. I am a native farmer, my home is on the edge of Poyang Lake in Jiangxi Province, 160 kilometers away from the county seat, I will tell you now whether these people can make money.
Wheat, rice, corn, soybeans, peanuts and the like will not be profitable. If the weather is good, excluding the expenses of pesticides, seeds, fertilizers and so on, it will be three to five hundred yuan per acre. Therefore, if you only grow food, your family will have a little land, and it is not realistic to make money.
So, what do the farmers grow to make money? Take my father, for example, because I don't know anyone else, so I can't speculate. It's like an acre of land, planting the same crops, the same input, the same cost, year by year, and the things that are planted will make a big difference.
My father planted green onions on one acre of land, invested 1,000 yuan, harvested 5,000 catties of green onions, the market price was 2-3 yuan a catty, and the market price was 2-3 yuan a catty. Dealers also have to make money, as well as manpower, transportation, inventory, and so on. In the market, two dollars a catty, in the wholesale market, a dollar a catty. This means that the price difference between them is acceptable. If the profit is high, someone will definitely come to grab it.
Sometimes, the price of grain is very low, a catty of two dimes a catty, a catty is more than a thousand yuan, that is to say, the acre of land that my father planted, he didn't earn anything, and he wasted a lot of money in vain. Sometimes, however, the retail price of these green onions is 10 yuan a catty, and the vendors will buy them for 2 yuan.
Now, 5,000 catties of green onions can be sold for 10,000 yuan, and after removing the cost, one acre of land is 9,000 yuan. These more than 9,000 acres of land are the net profits brought back by my father, so whether you can make money from farming depends on what you are planting and whether you can have good luck. When prices are low, agriculture is not profitable. In the case of a high market price, the profit is also high, and the reason is simple.
