Why is it that no one is plowing the wasteland in rural areas, and there is competition for every plow?

Why is there no one cultivating the wasteland in rural areas, and why is it that people fight for the cultivation? Essentially it's a matter of people's hearts. It is a phenomenon caused by everyone thinking about "free ride" in life and not having the spirit of pioneering and innovation.

For example, in the 1990s, people in the village were enthusiastic about opening up wasteland for land cultivation. However, a large number of people do not open up wasteland because they do not realize the value of land reclamation. I remember that there were a few hard-working people in the village who enjoyed the benefits of land reclamation. All areas owned by the village, including wasteland slopes with good soil quality and location, were mined for farming. After they turned the barren slopes into fertile farmland, people discovered that the land they reclaimed was more than the land assigned to them by the village. It is conceivable that the harvest of other people's crops has doubled. Seeing that people's lives are getting better and better, many people have quit working, thinking about the collective land, why should they farm? At that time, in our village, the village collectively reclaimed all the reclaimed wasteland and distributed it uniformly. If there were not those people who took the lead in reclaiming wasteland, the wasteland would still be wasteland in the first place. Others would benefit from the land reclamation, and some people would feel unbalanced.

Another example. The wasteland in rural areas is valuable as long as there are people cultivating it. The value means that there are people fighting for it. The key issue is still the value determination of wasteland. Of course, if the wasteland has no value, is in a remote area, has barren land and lacks water resources, it can be said that no one will cultivate it. However, if someone installs an irrigation system in this place, transforms it into fertile farmland, and makes money by planting special crops, think about it, people will soon say that this place belongs to the village collective, and some people in the village will say that this place belongs to the village collective. If it doesn’t belong to an individual, you have to pay for farming. Because a friend once contracted a barren mountain to grow medicinal materials for ten years and made money in three years. The locals tried every means to drive the friend away so that they could make a fortune by growing medicinal materials. The result was good, my friend was faced with all kinds of embarrassments and could no longer do it, so he left. On the other hand, if my friend had lost money when he contracted to grow medicinal materials in the barren hills, no one would have made things difficult for him. In addition to ridicule, there would have been voices of sympathy. . As a result, the local people's planting skills were poor, they lacked management, and there were no sales. The added value of growing food was too low, and it ended up becoming barren hills. It was also a big joke.

Many times, people’s hearts determine the direction of the problem. When a piece of penniless wasteland is developed and its value is discovered, someone will want a piece of the pie. Human heart!
