When it comes to planting, you may think of lush fields and fruitful orchards, but have you ever heard the story of burdock? In today's increasingly diversified agricultural product market, in addition to traditional crops, some special crops are gradually appearing. Burdock is such an "agricultural star", which not only has good nutritional value and medicinal effects, but also its market potential should not be underestimated.
I remember that in June 2023, the ** of burdock still makes people sweat. Ah Hua, who often wanders around the market, will tell you that at that time, the ** of burdock was only 17-18 yuan a kilogram. However, with the change of seasons, the sudden ** spike almost caught people off guard. At the end of the season, the ** of burdock has ejected to a high of 35-37 yuan, which makes the growers smile.
For such a **, Uncle Li was overjoyed. His family's 50 acres of burdock fields have already foreshadowed a good harvest this year. When it comes to the cost of growing burdock, it's not a small amount.
Uncle Li will teach you how to calculate this account. First and foremost is the land issue. If you don't have land, you can't hide the cost of the land, and you have to pay 500 yuan a year. The seedling fee has to be spent, and it costs 180 yuan. Coupled with indispensable fertilizers, pesticides and top dressing, these costs add up to about 300 + 150 + 200 yuan. Harvesting and threshing processes cannot be left behind, so you have to prepare another 120 + 80 yuan.
In this way, Uncle Li knows in his heart that the cost of planting burdock per mu is about 1,530 yuan. But the cost is only half the story, the harvest is the key. You see, a two-year-old burdock can produce 150-200 kg in a bumper harvest year. Uncle Li often said: "No pain, no gain." "His burdock yield is impressive, with an average of 150 kilograms of fruit per mu.
Let's continue to calculate, based on the ** calculation of 35 yuan per kilogram, Uncle Li's burdock field can have an output value of 5,250 yuan per mu. Don't worry, after deducting the planting cost in the early stage, the net income is also 3,720 yuan. The whole burdock field is pulled out, 50 acres, the total output value is as high as 262,500 yuan, and the net profit after deducting the cost has reached a proud 186,000 yuan! You see, isn't this profit margin the "gold and silver mountains" that many people dream of?
Hearing Uncle Li's words, the old Zhang at the head of the village couldn't help but rub his hands. Lao Zhang said: "I have done all the work of raising pigs and chickens, and I have to do this burdock this year too!" "Yes, God rewards hard work, and the fruits of labor are often sweeter.
In order to revitalize the land in hand and increase agricultural income, planting burdock has become a potential way to get rich. This is not just a number game, behind every number is the crystallization of farmers' full expectations and sweat.
So, do farmers' choices and market opportunities attract your heartbeat? Imagine if you also have 50 acres of land, are you also attracted by the charm of burdock and want to show your skills and try this business? And, if you really have a field or two, maybe it's time to think about whether it's time to write your own chapter in Uncle Li's success story.
Look at those figures working in the fields, and you may be impressed by these simple farmers. They are not only sowing hope, but also cultivating the beautiful future of the Chinese countryside. From the land to the table, the maturity of every burdock seed carries people's yearning for a better life.
If you have some time to spare, take a walk around the farmland and chat with the farmers. Listen to the sounds of this land and feel the power of life that is ordinary and great. In the lap of nature, you will have a deeper understanding of what true abundance and fulfillment are. After all, being with the earth as a companion and time as a friend, this is the most unpretentious, but also the most touching life.
At this point, the article is nearing its end. But I still want to say to you who are chasing your dreams, whether you choose to grow burdock or other ways to get rich, the key is perseverance and smart strategy. Just like the wide field, full of golden hope and green expectations, may we all sow the seeds of happiness and harvest a smile on the land of life.
