Rural farmers have always been the main force of China's agricultural production, and they are busy cultivating the land and silently contributing to the country's food security. However, in recent years, the lives of farmers have faced many difficulties. As one of the important planting crops for farmers, corn is in a downturn that directly affects farmers' income. The farmers lamented that corn was cheap and had a plan to burn corn directly to replace coal. Although this idea sounds a little ridiculous, it reflects the helplessness and development dilemma of farmers in the face of difficulties.
Regarding the idea of burning corn directly, we need to give a proper explanation of this issue. First of all, corn itself cannot be burned directly like wood and coal. It is made up of corn cobs and corn stalks, and only corn cobs are flammable. Farmers need to dry the cracked corn pulp and remove the cob from it before it can be used as fuel. Secondly, corn has a high moisture content and is difficult to ignite when it is burned in a furnace. Instead of putting the whole corn directly into the stove, farmers usually use flammable materials such as hay, paper, or plastic bags to ignite the corn cob before adding wood or coal for burning. In addition, farmers have limited income** and rely mainly on growing crops. Even if the corn is low, farmers still have to sell it because they have no other income. If the corn is not sold, the farmer will not be able to repay the credit, make ends meet, and make a good living. Therefore, it is not in the actual interests of farmers to let corn burn directly.
As a matter of fact, the living conditions of rural peasants are not optimistic. Grain ** continues to be sluggish, so that farmers' incomes cannot be increased. In my large village, for example, there used to be a village with more than 500 households and a population of more than 2,000 people, and a few years ago everyone planted wheat, but the income was not ideal. Later, cotton **once**, the farmers in the village switched to cotton, hoping to obtain higher profits. However, as time goes by, cotton can only be sold for three yuan a catty, which leads to many farmers no longer growing cotton. On the contrary, food crops such as wheat and corn have always been relatively cheap, so that fewer and fewer people can make money in my village. Today, there are only a few elderly people in their sixties and seventies left who farm the land, and there are only about 300 people left in the village. The lack of economic benefits has led to a sharp decline in farmers' enthusiasm for farming.
Food is an important part of people's lives, and it is related to the country's food security and economic development. However, today's grain ** is too low, which has brought great trouble and survival pressure to farmers. Farmers are the cornerstone of agricultural production, and their hard work should be duly rewarded. Therefore, we need to think about how to reasonably increase the grain quality to ensure the interests of farmers and the sustainable development of grain production.
First of all, we should increase support for agriculture. Encourage farmers to use efficient agricultural production methods to improve crop yield and quality and reduce production costs. At the same time, through the establishment of a sound market mechanism, we should guide the rational return of grain and increase the income of peasants.
Secondly, it can help farmers get rid of poverty and become rich by building rural infrastructure, providing agricultural subsidies and promoting the development of rural industries. For example, in terms of smooth channels, we can strengthen the logistics of agricultural products, promote the export of agricultural products to other regions, and improve market competitiveness. In terms of agricultural subsidies, it can provide pesticides, fertilizers and other necessary materials for agricultural production, and reduce its burden on farmers. In addition, it can also encourage the development of other industries in rural areas, such as aquaculture, agricultural product processing industry, etc., to provide diversified employment opportunities, increase farmers' incomes, and alleviate the problem of rural employment.
Finally, all sectors of society should also pay more attention to and support farmers. Through the purchase of agricultural products, participation in rural tourism and other ways, help farmers increase sales channels and increase the added value of products. At the same time, we should strengthen the training and technical guidance of farmers, improve their planting capacity and management level, and promote the transformation and upgrading of agriculture from traditional agriculture to modern agriculture.
To sum up, although the idea of directly burning corn in ** does not work, this scene has aroused people's thinking and attention to the plight of farmers' lives. In reality, farmers are indeed facing all kinds of difficulties, and the problem of low food prices needs to be solved. ** And all sectors of society should increase their efforts to support agricultural development and protect the interests of farmers, so that farmers can truly feel the value of food production, in order to achieve the goal of rural revitalization and rural development. At the same time, as ordinary people, we should also start from ourselves, pay attention to farmers, care about rural areas, and contribute to the lives of farmers.
