A few days ago, I saw on the Internet that the wheat green storage was sold for 1,500 yuan to 2,000 yuan per mu. Some experts also called for not being able to sell wheat and green reserves, as this would threaten the country's grain security! So can corn be sold for green reserves? Corn farmers also sell green reserves. Corn is also a grain. It is the same grain, why does selling corn and green reserves not threaten national food security, but selling wheat green reserves threatens national food security!
Farmers are rural economies whose purpose is to maximize economic benefits. The country's food security is the country's business, that is the responsibility of the state, and has nothing to do with the peasants. Why do some people always take their own obligations as the obligations of others? Speaking of which, it's still justifiable? It's shameless enough!
Agriculture, fertilizer prices are also rising, pesticides are also rising, diesel fuel prices are also rising, how is it that the price of agricultural and sideline products is not rising!
Peasants are engaged in the cultivation of agricultural crops, and only when the price of crops rises can the peasants become rich.
The means of production of agriculture are expensive, but the prices of agricultural and sideline products have not moved.
Statistics show that peasants increase their incomes every year, but the prices of agricultural and sideline products do not increase, so isn't this increase in income nonsense?
Narrowing the gap between urban and rural areas is our goal. Only by increasing peasants' incomes can we narrow the gap between urban and rural areas. The most important income of the peasants is the income obtained from the prices of agricultural and sideline products. If we don't make money from farming every year, or if we can only earn 4 or 500 yuan per mu and only 1,000 yuan per mu of land, then who will go to farming? This is a real threat to the country's food security.
It is useless to shout slogans all day long, and only some benefits will stimulate the enthusiasm of farmers to farm.
If the purchase price of wheat per kilogram is 5 yuan, then the annual income of two mu of wheat can be 4,000 yuan, and the peasants can only maintain a minimum living standard.
The prices of agricultural and sideline products should be raised so that farmers can benefit from economic development.
If the prices of other means of production have risen, should the prices of agricultural and sideline products not rise? Should peasants suffer poverty? For the sake of grain security, peasants should be allowed to benefit from agricultural work.
