What crop can bring a profit 5 times that of corn?

The state is now advocating changing the mode of agriculture and adjusting its structure, which is to let farmer friends reasonably adjust their planting structure according to market conditions, so that agriculture can achieve sustainable development. In many places, adjusting the planting structure has brought unexpected income. Today, "ZhiFuBang" introduces to youFengdu, Chongqinggrowing grassand the road to wealth it has grown!

Not growing vegetables, but growing grass instead

In Fengdu, Chongqing, large areas of land have started growing grass instead of vegetables. What is the grass grown for? It turns out it is used tofeed cattle！

Today's Fengdu, besides its reputation as the Ghost City, is also known as Chongqing's “most awesome” district or county: last year its beef cattle stock and slaughter volume (raising volume) reached330,000 head, with an average of fewer than 2 people raising 1 beef cattle. The market price of each head of cattle ismore than 10,000 yuan！

Why is growing grass more cost-effective than growing corn?

When growing corn in Chongqing, the annual corn output is only about 0.5 tons per mu, and each ton of corn sells for 2,400 yuan, so the corn output value is1,200 yuan per mu. After deducting phosphate fertilizer, pesticides and labor costs, the net income from growing corn is only 700 yuan per mu.

But what about growing grass? The green grass output per mu is 10 tons per mu, and the market purchase price of green grass is 400-420 yuan per ton. In other words, the output value of green grass land ismore than 4,000 yuan per mu. Moreover, the cost of phosphate fertilizer and pesticides used for growing grass is far lower than for growing corn. On careful calculation, the profit per mu from growing grass is4-5 times。

that of growing corn. The editor summarizes

It seems that structural adjustment is not a flood or a beast; to some extent it can be regarded as acatalyst. We may be used to farming and not quite dare to change, but in fact, taking this step can bring more income. Now that adjusting structure and changing mode is the country's development direction, for us, we only need to investigate carefully and learn some good experience and methods, and I believe we can all achieve good returns!
