There are already quite a few households like ours that cannot cultivate all their farmland and transfer it to relatives or neighbors to plant; since they are all acquaintances, no contract is signed, and the amount paid is not fixed, just roughly agreed. But market rates do exist, and currently the minimum is 600 yuan per mu (per year).
