1. Why are farmers not willing to sell corn at home!
Recently, the local voice of Henan Province visited the countryside and saw that the piles of corn harvested by farmers last year were all over the place. The corn weaves in front of the door were filled in the shed, and the beams were hung on the beams. They were not even threshed. I asked a peasant strangely: Why don’t you hurry up and thresh and sell it in the slack now? The farmer shook his head and said that the price of corn has fallen severely, and the current harvest is only 80 cents, which is not worth selling!
z12 I have a hard time answering! I'm afraid I can't afford to mislead.
There are also a few people in front of the village committee who are talking about farming! It all revolves around spring sowing! Now it's the spring planting season again, what to plant has become a hot topic for them, some say that corn is no longer planted, it is better to plant peanuts or soybeans!
I often go to the countryside to visit. They know that I am engaged in agriculture, rural areas and farmers, and have become acquaintances. A few asked me what to grow! I hope I can reveal some planting information to them! Also count as a reference! To be honest, the market for agricultural products has fluctuated up and down in recent years. This has become a very serious question. Sometimes it may mislead farmers, so it is really difficult to answer.
3. A brief analysis of the reasons for the current drop in corn and soybean market prices.
Regarding the recent corn prices and soybean prices, the market conditions are not very satisfactory, and both have a downward trend. The main reasons for this round of grain price decline are as follows:
First, the relaxation of Sino-US trade relations has caused the increase in imports of low-priced corn, wheat, and soybeans in the United States, which has impacted my country's grain price market.
Two is due to my country's environmental management and the previous swine epidemic! As a result, many farms have been closed, the stock of live pigs has dropped sharply, and the recovery of corn has stalled! The price is at its lowest point in many years, below one yuan or even lower! It is still difficult to sell!
Third, this year's weather and moisture are moderate, which is conducive to the growth of corn, and most areas have seen an unprecedented harvest of corn! Farmers store more corn!
4. Which is more cost-effective to plant corn or soybeans this year? This question is difficult to answer! But we can settle the account first.
In terms of current market conditions, should farmers plant corn or soybeans? Here is a simple analysis:
(1) The yield per mu of corn planting.
At present, the average price of corn on the market is about 0.85 yuan per catty. Based on an average of 1,000 catties per mu of corn, the gross income is 850 yuan. Excluding the total cost of planting corn, including seeds, pesticides, fertilizers, machinery costs, etc., The average is around 400 yuan per mu. The net income per mu is 450 yuan. In addition to the 100 yuan subsidy for corn planting, the profit per mu is around 550 yuan.
(2) The benefit per acre of soybean planting.
The current price of soybeans, the national purchase standard is 1.70 yuan per catty. Calculated at an average of 350 jin per mu, the gross income is 600 jin, minus the cost of labor, seeds, pesticides, fertilizers, etc., about 400 yuan per mu. The remaining 200 yuan, plus the soybean planting subsidy of 300 yuan, the net income per mu is about 500 yuan! special reminderThe risk of planting soybeans is relatively high. In some years, the soybean harvest is unstable and even failed. In short, soybean production is not high and the price is not high, and mechanized planting and harvesting cannot be realized. So planting soybeans is really not a good way.
(3) peanut relatively drought-tolerant, just choose a good seed dressing at the time of sowing will not be compromised soil pests, and is not afraid of lodging a peanut can. The income per acre is still greater than corn and soybeans. But peanut harvesting is difficult. Although machine harvesting is currently available, farmers are planting small areas, ranging from one acre to two acres, or three acres. It is difficult to use hair-styling machinery to harvest, and it is completely manual! One is the sales problem!
5, corn price forecast this year!
Recently, the price of corn has dropped to 0.8 yuan, which is the lowest in recent years. As a farmer's friend, I have been paying attention to the prices of agricultural products. The main reason is to consider what crops to plant in the spring can increase income.
Due to the sharp drop in corn prices, farmers have fluctuated in planting, but I think that if there is a fall, there will be a rise, and there are reasons for the rise. Due to environmental protection and swine epidemic factors in the previous and last year, the country implemented a severe pressure on pig raising, resulting in a serious shortage of pigs. The pork has risen from 10 yuan per catty to about 30 yuan per catty, which directly increases the national affordability. The state has successively introduced pig raising measures to encourage farmers to raise pigs. Therefore, the pig raising fever has begun again. As the pig stocks increase, the feed also increases. Corn will continue to sell well, and the price will naturally rise! The era of one yuan will come again, and 1.2 yuan per catty is also possible, so planting corn this year is very promising!
