In late October, Lianhua County ushered in a week-long rainy weather. In the waterlogged fields, Aunt Zhang was anxious to check her garlic fields.
I saw that the whole garlic field was surrounded by silt, the water level was constantly **, and her garlic was about to face a bump. "This rain is too unfortunate, my garlic is in the final stage of expansion, such a large amount of water simply can't stand it!Aunt Zhang said to her son anxiously. She was worried, knowing that under this moisture condition, the garlic would definitely have quality problems and even rot.
I have to pick it back and dry it quickly, and maybe I can pick it up and save my life. Aunt Zhang resolutely decided to harvest garlic in advance. However, at this moment, the garlic in the county has begun. Due to the overproduction in various places this season, coupled with the blockage of transportation and sales channels, many garlic growers in the county have chosen to make profits and clear their warehouses, with a reserve price of 1 yuan**, which is a serious loss.
Aunt Zhang was anxious to inquire about the garlic buyer's *** on her mobile phone, and she called them one by one, and they all got the same hesitant and prevaricating reply. In the end, in the case of serious price reduction, Aunt Zhang found a buyer to pay 1. per cattyThe extremely low ** of 2 yuan signed a garlic purchase contract. The downpour caused her to lose nearly half of her garlic production. Driven by depression and frustration, Aunt Zhang hurriedly harvested the remaining garlic and piled it all up in her warehouse.
If she misses this opportunity to deal with the profits, she is afraid that her garlic will rot in the ground and completely disappear. When Aunt Zhang's garlic was soaked in water, the old neighbor Uncle Ma was in a good mood. He recently saw in the newspaper that the green onion market at home and abroad continues to be hot, and the wholesale price has risen to 45 yuan per catty. Using his brain a little, Uncle Ma immediately realized that this was a very considerable opportunity to make money.
My idle vegetable plot can be used just to start planting some green onions immediately, maybe I can catch this wave of *** east wind for the first time!Uncle Ma began to take action, collecting green onion seedlings and contacting local wholesalers to try to sign a supply contract as soon as possible. In the following month, Uncle Ma was busy in the vegetable field all day carefully tending to the green onions that had just grown. He selects the best green onions, washes and packages them himself, and ships them to the county's wholesale market every day.
Because he seized the opportunity, Uncle Ma's green onions were very impressive. The net profit after deducting costs is much higher than his income from growing common crops such as wheat. "It's a lot of money!This wave of green onions is not only a lot of quantity, but the unit price is also high, and I have earned 5,000 yuan more than usual this month!Uncle Ma drove back while contentedly counting the banknotes in his hand. Thanks to his keen vision, he seized this opportunity to increase income.
In March, Aunt Zhang began to prepare for the annual ploughing of the vegetable fields. When inspecting the pantry, she was surprised to find that all the ginger she had stored last year had spoiled and rotted, and the amount was extremely heavy. It turned out that Aunt Zhang had been waiting for the ginger to pick up this year, so there was no ginger in her own warehouse. She desperately needs this part of the income to make up for the loss of other crops. However, as the temperature slowly rises, the roots of the ginger that have been stored for too long have already rotted. Aunt Zhang was anxious and hurriedly contacted the buyer to check the situation.
It's really poured blood mold, these gingers basically can't be wanted, the quality is too poor, I can give you 0 per catty at most5 bucks. The buyer shook his head and said. Aunt Zhang anxiously explained that this was just a storage problem, and there was no problem with the quality of ginger, but the buyer was very resolute. In desperation, Aunt Zhang had to deal with these gingers of worrying quality with a very low **. She wanted to rely on the income of ginger to make up for the loss of other crops, but she did not expect that ginger became the most important part of her loss.
Aunt Zhang, who was anxious, looked at the pile of spoiled ginger in the storage room, and couldn't help but burst into tears. In stark contrast to Aunt Zhang's tragic loss, the sales of Uncle Ma's green onions are still very good. By seizing the good market, Uncle Ma has an order for green onions every week. The amount of profit after deducting costs is very considerable, and Uncle Ma's income is stably guaranteed.
With abundant economic strength, Uncle Ma began to consider planting new agricultural products in the second round. When many farmers began to sow potatoes in the new season in May, Uncle Ma decided to appropriately reduce the planting area of green onions and use idle plots to start planting tomatoes on a trial basis. As a star product in summer and autumn, tomatoes have a large and stable market demand. Uncle Ma combined his own planting experience and scientifically formulated the entire production plan.
From the selection of varieties, the purchase of equipment to the management of water and fertilizer, Uncle Ma has carefully designed to harvest high-yield and high-quality tomatoes. With his years of planting knowledge and rich experience, Uncle Ma is confident that he can successfully grow good tomatoes. He believes that as long as the strategy is proper and the management is scientific, he will be able to continuously obtain a bumper harvest. Uncle Ma looked at the newly pasted tomato planting schedule on the wall and smiled with satisfaction. May is the end of potato storage. However, Aunt Zhang's warehouse still has a large number of potatoes from last year, and there is no sign of clearing them at all. Seeing that the new season of potatoes has begun to be sown, Aunt Zhang is anxious.
In the past, due to the anticipation of the needs of the market, Aunt Zhang hoarded a lot of old potatoes and prepared to be unified after the first time. However, the potatoes are in a straight line and there is no sign of recovery. If the storage period is too long, the metabolism of potatoes will intensify, and if not, it will only lose its value more and more. "If you don't do anything, these potatoes will rot!Aunt Zhang anxiously calculated her losses. She has already spent a lot of money on the preservation and storage of potatoes, and if this batch of potatoes ends up rotting, her losses will be irreparable.
In desperation, in order to win back the cost, Aunt Zhang can only adopt the strategy of making profits, with 0The ultra-low price of 5 yuan** cleared the buyer to dispose of these potatoes. Anxious, she paced anxiously in the warehouse, depressed and lost. A series of failures made Aunt Zhang realize that there was a big problem with the previous planting strategy. She began to think back and summarize the events of the year over and over again, trying to analyze her mistakes.
Aunt Zhang understands that planting cannot rely solely on experience and instinct, but must be based on the market and scientific judgment. Her lack of knowledge and methods in this area has led to a lack of clarity in judging which crops are most valuable. "I have to learn Xi advanced planting concepts and not repeat these low-level mistakes!Aunt Zhang said to herself. In order to turn the situation around, she actively sought advice from her successful old neighbor Uncle Ma, hoping to learn valuable lessons from him. According to Uncle Ma's guidance, Aunt Zhang began to investigate the market of different agricultural products in the region in recent years. She compared the comprehensive data and found several varieties with the greatest value potential.
At the same time, Aunt Zhang is also committed to learning Xi scientific knowledge of storage and transportation, and plans to improve her own equipment to reduce the loss in the storage process. On the other hand, this year's planting situation, Uncle Ma is a living example. By planting green onions with the right selection, he seized the market opportunity and successfully made a good profit. Aunt Zhang, on the other hand, misjudged the situation and made a mistake in product selection, resulting in planting income.
Same land, similar geographical environment. The choice of breed alone can lead to a huge difference in income. This fully shows that in the business of planting, choosing the right seeds and varieties is half the battle. If you get it wrong, no matter how hard you try to operate, the benefits will be discounted.
Of course, in addition to choosing the right variety, proper storage is also crucial. Aunt Zhang's ginger was not stored properly, and a large number of them were defeated in the problem of rotting. Scientific storage methods can effectively ensure the quality of agricultural products and reduce losses, which is also the key to obtaining a bumper harvest. Planting seems simple and trivial, but if you want to make long-term and stable profits, you need to adopt a comprehensive and scientific management method. From seed selection and breeding to storage and transportation, every step needs to be carefully designed.
Only by doing this can growers maximize land efficiency and reap significant economic benefits. Reflecting on the planting mistakes in the past, Aunt Zhang is more cautious and prudent about the future. She realized that blindly following the crowd would not stabilize her income. The key to changing destiny lies in scientific planting and management. The first step is to improve the ability to judge and predict the market. This requires Aunt Zhang to actively learn Xi professional knowledge and master the methods and models of the market.
The choice of what to plant and how much to plant should be based on the judgment of supply, demand and value. Second, input and output are important. Rational allocation of resources, control of planting costs, and reduction of production costs are all related to the ultimate economic benefits. Aunt Zhang plans to pilot the contract production of some crops and reach an agreement with the buyer to reduce the impact of market fluctuations.
Of course, strict quality control is also essential. Storage, packaging, and transportation must be standardized in order to effectively curb the quality loss of goods in the circulation process. This requires the introduction of specialized equipment and means.
Only by achieving fine management of the whole process can Aunt Zhang realize the transformation and upgrading of the planting industry and steadily increase income. In the context of the deep integration of science and technology and the market, traditional experience is no longer enough to support the rapid development of the planting industry. Embracing digitalization and standardization is the next step that Aunt Zhang must take.
