Recently, there is a strange epidemic, when the wheat is almost ripe, some farmers cut the wheat and sell it to the farm as green storage! You read that right, it is to cut off the wheat that is about to grow, and get it down to the ground before it is ripe.
This incident annoyed netizens, and they jumped out and scolded this for destroying national food security. After all, whose children didn't grow up eating wheat? Wheat is a very important staple crop for us Chinese.
There are all kinds of voices on the Internet, let's take a look
1. Isn't there dust polluting the environment when wheat is ripe and then harvested?
2. The state pays 2,000 yuan per mu of land to buy the farmers' wheat seedlings! Isn't it the best of both worlds to protect the interests of the peasants and the country's food security?
3. The state should also take into account the overall situation, and let the price of wheat rise to 5 yuan a catty to compensate farmers
4. The price of imported wheat is not high, and the more you buy, the amount of green wheat will be cut on top, and now there are no restrictions on foreign countries importing wheat from China.
But why do farms buy this kind of wheatgrass as feed? Originally, they were willing to pay 1,200 to 1,500 yuan per mu of land, which for many farmers could be as profitable as selling grain when the wheat was ripe. In addition, cutting the barley avoids possible natural disasters that may lead to the failure of the harvest in the future.
Then do you think the peasant brothers are really fooled? Of course not! They also know in their hearts that this practice is a serious threat to the country's food security. After all, once wheat is harvested on a large scale, wheat production will have to decrease, and the price of those food products that rely on wheat as raw materials will probably rise.
Therefore, governments at all levels and the media have not been idle, and they have repeatedly called on farmers to defend food security, and they must not be fooled by this little interest.
As early as 2006, the state abolished the grain tax, and farmers owned 100 percent of the food they grow, without having to be exploited as before.
Subsequently, in order to reduce the burden on the peasants, various localities raised the minimum purchase price one after another, and at the same time increased subsidies to the peasants. Let the hard-working farmers no longer work as hard as in the past.
This year, the Hebei authorities issued an explicit prohibition, and anyone who dared to cut wheat and destroy grain would be severely punished.
Even state media such as the People's Daily began to explicitly prohibit this kind of behavior two or three years ago.
Friends, do you think this is the right thing to do?
