Why have corn prices fallen, and how big is the impact on farmers?
After a heavy snowfall, a grain broker came to the home of corn grower Zhao Jincheng to inspect the grain. "Now it has to be graded as third-class; it doesn't make second-class." "If it's third-class, after deducting freight and delivering it to the destination, it can only sell for 0.71 yuan." The corn price fell from 0.90 yuan per jin in 2014 to 0.71 yuan per jin this year. Neighbors and relatives all stored their corn, waiting to see how the price would move.

This year he planted more than 600 mu of rice; half of the plots yielded more than 650 kg of paddy per mu, while the other half could not be harvested in time due to rainy weather and yielded only 450 kg per mu. Moreover, this year the price of paddy was 0.46 yuan per kg lower than last year, so the profitability of grain farming was much worse than in previous years.
