In recent years, farmers have earned a significant income from cultivating land, which has become an important way for many people to grow their family wealth. However, as time goes on, land rental yields gradually return to normal levels, and the opportunities for farmers to make a profit on the land they grow have become limited. For example, last yearCottonThe yield is only about 300 kilograms, even if it is calculated at 8 yuan per kilogram, the income per mu is difficult to profit. Due to the losses for several consecutive years, many friends have lost confidence in the planting land and have given up on continuing to plant. Growing land is no longer profitable, which is an important reason for this phenomenon.
Over the past few years, there has been a change in the perception of land as a cash cow and the idea that owning land gives you wealth. Therefore, everyone has joined the ranks of scrambling to find land for planting, changing the concept that farming is not profitable in the past. After the farm reform in 2018, farm workers no longer need to hand over land profits, and the 50 acres of land they own become their own income**. This kind of good thing should not be let go in vain, so someFarmersThe rent of the land has risen from a few hundred yuan per mu to about 1,000 yuan today, and some are even higher. As the land for cultivation became profitable, land rents continued to climb until they exceeded their limits.
However, in 2023, most farmers who rent land will only be able to produce just over 300 kilograms, even on a per tonne basisCottonThe ** calculation of 18,600 yuan is also difficult to make a profit. Farmers began to wait for the initial 77 yuan to 8 yuan ** is not satisfied. It's a pityCotton**No**, but all the way**, and even fell to about 7 yuan. For example, my friend recently willCottonTake 68 yuan of ** sold, he said that there will be no good ** if he waits any longer. From 2012 and 2013CottonFrom the point of view, they have been showing a trend, and there has been no phenomenon. IfCottonThe yield is low, and it is obviously unrealistic to count on ***.
Nowadays, it is widely believed that cultivating land is not profitable because the land rent is too high. The rent per mu reaches 1,200 yuan, and if the output is 400 kilograms, according to the ** of seven or eight yuan per kilogram, it can barely guarantee the capital. However,CottonThe cost has reached about 3,000 yuan per ton. FarmersIt seems that there is a hope to break out of the current predicament by increasing production, hoping to reach 500 kg or even 600 kg, but what is the result?In addition to the bad weather this year, which led to the failure of production expectations, high yields in previous years are rare, and 500 kg or 600 kg production is even more difficult to achieve. Talk to a friendCotton** The future, he saidCotton**It is not possible to exceed $10.
However, this pairCottonIt is likely that the fantasy will not come true. Although my friend is not an expert and has no expertise, one thing is for sureCottonIt does not exist in isolation, it is influenced by many factors. Whatever is on the marketCottonMore or less, it will not affect the normalCotton**。Unless there is a change in policyCotton**It will be maintained at the level of 18,600 yuan per ton, and there will be no big ups and downs. Therefore,Cotton**There will be no large fluctuations and no large fluctuations in production. Farmers who grow land can earn a relatively stable income, and even if the income will not be as good as in the past, they will not lose money because they do not need to pay land rent.
However, if it is to rent other people's land, it is different, the rent is still acceptable at about a few hundred yuan, but now the rent has been ** to more than 1,000 yuan. This year's rents are even more alarmingly high. In the face of such high rents, farmers have only produced more than 300 kilograms this year, and there is little room for profit. If you don't wait, go straight to itCotton, maybe there will be less losses, but now I can't waitCottonInstead, it's **. Sadly, some people believe that farmers can only earn money by cultivating land. However, how many growers are able to earn a decent income if they leave the land?
Although some people seeCotton pickerIt is possible to make money, but most of them operateCotton pickerof people are in trouble. Due toCotton pickerThe competition in the market is fierce, the charge per acre of land** is not ideal, and many operators even struggle to maintain normal operations and have to abandon the industry. For example, the northern onesCotton pickerThe main Xiaojiang, since the northern Xinjiang region was harvested after the completion of his trip, he wentHamiand Jiashi Prefecture, however, receivedCotton pickerUnder the influence of fierce competition, the ** per mu of land was pressed to 120 yuan, and finally he had to go home to find a job.

Growing land to earn money is indeed the main income for the farmer**. However, with the rise in land rents andCottonIt is becoming more and more difficult to grow the land. FarmersHaving to deal with low production and high rents, resulting in poor earnings or even losses. Growers need to overcome the dilemma by increasing yields, but this also faces practical difficulties and cost constraints. Therefore,FarmersThere is a need to find other avenues or industries to increase income, rather than relying solely on the land to be planted.
