In my opinion, many farmers are unwilling to farm, and the reason for this phenomenon is that farming makes less money. If farmers grow wheat and rice, then accounting down, an acre of land can only earn several hundred yuan. If a farmer's family owns 10 mu of land, then the income of this farmer's family from farming alone is only several thousand yuan.
However, if farmers go out to work, the situation will be different. Farmers go out to work with a monthly salary of at least several thousand yuan. After deducting various expenses, they can still save some money. Therefore, the income from farming cannot be compared with the income from working.
Some farmers who used to go out to work were still cultivating land. When they are busy farming, they will go back to harvest wheat or rice. But then they stopped farming, because it was not cost-effective for them to work while farming. For example, a couple of farmers work thousands of miles away. When they are busy with farming, they return to their rural hometown to harvest wheat or rice. The fare for two people will be more than 1000 yuan, and no salary will be paid for asking for leave from the enterprise. For example, the couple take time off to go home to do farm work, and the time to go back to work in the enterprise is 10 days. According to the daily wage of two people in 300 yuan, 10 is 3,000 yuan, and if you add 1000 yuan, the bus fare is 4,000 yuan. 4000 yuan can buy a lot of flour and rice.
Many people think that farming is not directly proportional to income. As we all know, farming is very hard and tiring. It can be said that farming is more tiring than working in some enterprises. However, although farming is hard and tiring, the income is not high. Whenever farmers have jobs, they are reluctant to farm. Farmers can earn thousands of dollars a month. However, farmers may only earn one or two thousand yuan a year. Can such a big gap make farmers feel at ease in farming?
Of course, the above is just my personal opinion, for reference only. If there is anything wrong, please criticize and correct me.
