What is it like to experience rural farming?

What is the experience like in rural farming? In one sentence, 12 characters, hard work is hard and making money is difficult; seize the opportunity and look far!

There is a saying that to get rich, you need to get rich, not the hairy ones. However, there are many people who think that they are capable when they see others getting rich and losing their teeth after eating tofu. So I rushed into battle without conducting research on the project. As a result, it didn't take long and I was defeated and lost the money I used to start my business!

In the past ten years or so, some people in the southern counties of Lianyungang have started aquaculture because they have a vision. They started it very early before others focused on this project. From the beginning, they made a lot of money and completed their mission of digging out the first pot of gold in life!

For any good project, there will be too many people following the trend, and it will make people jealous when they look at it. So, some people contracted fish ponds and started aquaculture, and everything seemed to be prosperous from the outside.

Who knew that in 2020, first there would be a virus epidemic, and then the weather would not be good, and the temperature would not rise. Whether you are raising crayfish, white shrimp, or Macrobrachium rosenbergii, you spend a lot of money on shrimp feed. As a result, the shrimp grow slowly and the quantity is small. It just so happens that the price this year is not high. As a result, you invest too much, but you suffer a big loss!

To be honest, people engaged in aquaculture have suffered a lot. The water comes and goes, the wind comes and goes, I get up early and go to bed late, and my whole body is dirty. I’ve done a lot of hard work, but God just won’t help me!

But I have a few old friends who raised old sows many years ago. In their words, when raising pigs, you must stay poor and endure the rich. When the situation is good, let them She will lay two more litters; when she cannot sell for a high price, let the old sow lay two fewer litters. She cannot have an empty litter anyway!

In fact, the conditions and methods of raising pigs now are not the same as in the past. In today's sow pen, once a sow has a nest (dialect, pregnancy), it is like serving a queen in the palace!

Especially when giving birth to piglets, we treat the sow and piglets with great care. Today's pig pens are built like houses and are not afraid of cold or heat because they are all air-conditioned.

For those who raise pigs, when it is time to give birth to piglets, there will be someone at home who sleeps next to the sow. No matter it is day or night, they must keep an eye on the sow and the piglets to prevent any accidents!

There is a saying in the Lianyungang area that if a person wants to be lucky, no mountain can stop him; if a person wants to carry something on his back, his teeth will be choked even if he drinks cold water. This is true at all!

One year more than ten years ago, the price of pigs that year was just the price of cabbage. The piglets are in bad luck. Not only can they not be sold at a good price, there are also many people who come to collect piglets and sell them for money. As a result, they are taken away by people from the south at a very low price and used to make roast suckling pig!

This is how things turn out. After the African swine fever, the price of pigs has soared, and the price of piglets has been soaring. A little sow that has just turned one month old can actually be sold for four to five thousand yuan. Don't blame those old ladies, who are mumbling, this is not selling piglets, this is buying golden pigs!

Seeing people making a fortune raising pigs, some people became excited. Let’s also raise pigs. The older generation in our family, I am raising sows. Although the price of gilts has dropped a lot now, they are still more than two thousand each!

This is true, don’t blame them for being jealous, a sow gives birth to two and a half litters a year, and they are all bright and white money!

Three hundred and sixty lines, every line will lead to the number one scholar. There is no respect for one's profession, and it is a great principle to make a fortune! Under the current virus epidemic situation, employment in various places is very severe.

Breeding in rural areas may be a good way out!

However, this path is not only risky but also tiring. You must be patient and work hard for a long time. Haste makes waste, persist in doing the little things every day, climb high and look far, and you can achieve your life's big things!

Friend, am I right? Thanks !

I answer this question based on my lifelong professional breeding experience. I have been professionally engaged in breeding in rural areas for more than sixty years of my life.

I started beekeeping in the 1960s and was engaged in beekeeping professionally for nearly 30 years until the 1980s. During those nearly 30 years, it can be said that beekeeping was the best in the history of our country. the most glorious decades of the industry. In the process of beekeeping for nearly thirty years, it is equivalent to the experience of today's entrepreneurs. In rural areas, it can be said that everyone is envious of everyone, and the feeling of being looked down upon is high.

At that time, the monthly salary of workers and all staff in government agencies was thirty or forty yuan, and farmers earned one hundred yuan a year in the production team. But at that time, I In the 1960s and 1970s, the annual net income from beekeeping was 5,000 yuan. After the reform and opening up in the 1980s, the annual net income remained at 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, and it was rated as a county or city Model worker, household worth 10,000 yuan.

Because the quality of our country’s honey was good in those 30 years, exports were in short supply. In the 1960s and 1970s, honey brought back a large amount of foreign exchange to the country, and the country also attached great importance to beekeeping.

my country’s beekeeping industry has begun to decline since the late 1980s, and has lost the glory of those thirty years. However, beekeeping is still the first choice occupation for farmers in rural areas. However, due to the quality of bee products, Various reasons have caused difficulties in the beekeeping industry, and many beekeepers have changed careers.

I started raising bees and raising pigs. In the 2000s, I thought that the economic benefits of pig raising were better than beekeeping, so I put pig raising as my main career. . As a pig raising industry, it has a cyclical pattern, and the economic benefits often go from high tide to low tide, and from low tide to high tide in a non-stop cycle. Generally speaking, the pig raising industry is losing money and making money. It is much better than working abroad.

I have also tried raising chickens for a living. The process of raising chickens follows the same cycle as raising pigs. There are lows and highs, and there are also losses and gains, as long as you persist. If we keep going, the economic benefits will still be good.

In my more than sixty years of life, the aquaculture industry has accompanied me throughout my life. Although I am now seventy-six years old, I still insist on beekeeping because It’s beekeeping, not physical work.

In my more than 60 years of professional work in the breeding industry, my personal experience is that breeding is indeed the first choice career for farmers. People who engage in the breeding industry will never have great wealth or great difficulties in their lives. Life is about spending your life smoothly and steadily. This is my personal experience in the breeding industry in my life.

Q. What is the experience of rural farming?

As a farmer born in the 1980s in rural areas, I used to think about going out to work. I thought farming in rural areas was too tiring and difficult. However, although I didn’t earn much outside, I still had a lot of money. I have saved a certain amount of money, but as my parents get older and can no longer take care of them, my parents say: As long as we are doing well outside, we will be happy.

But I still felt uneasy and decided to go back to the countryside to live with my parents. There is a vast world in the countryside, and it is impossible to just plant a few acres of land in my hometown. I also resolutely joined the breeding army.

Breeding has been carried out in rural areas in the past few years. Although the scale of breeding is not that large and the investment is relatively small, only those who have done breeding can understand the sadness involved. Let me talk about my breeding experience. These are my own personal experiences.

I returned to my hometown in 2014. At first, I didn’t decide what to do when I returned to the countryside. It was just that my parents were getting older, so I could take care of them and be by their side when I returned to my hometown. I was working here, but there was no suitable job at home. I also wanted to go out, but when my parents got older, I gave up. In the first year, I just stayed at home and planted the land at home. But at the end of the year, I will only have thirty or forty thousand yuan left, and I feel like this is not going to work.

At that time, we were cultivating river crabs in rice fields. We saw that they could earn 70,000 to 80,000 yuan a year. I thought this project was good, wasn’t it? Not only can I stay at home with my parents for a year, but I can also earn a lot of income. Only after I started breeding did I realize that breeding in rural areas involves high risks, low returns, and a lot of hardship. The most important thing is to have a market.

I also started breeding in the second year. My family originally had more than 20 acres of land, and I allocated more than 30 acres of land. At the beginning of spring, I glued more upper and lower mesh to prevent I did all the river crab running by hand. There were machines at that time, but hiring a machine cost 20 yuan per acre of land. I had already invested 30,000 to 40,000 yuan in the early stage. I didn’t have much savings in my hand. Now that I can do it myself, I can do it for more than fifty acres of land by myself for a week, but it makes me very tired.

After finishing this, we started to cultivate the land, transplant rice seedlings, and help seedlings. In addition, selling crab seedlings and other messy things cost more than 20,000 yuan. .

After the crab seedlings are released, they have to be fed. I process the feed myself. I use my own corn and soybeans and go to the processing factory for processing. There are requirements for this. I don’t understand them all. I asked some friends that after processing the feed, feed them twice a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. There cannot be a shortage of water in the river crab farming field. If there is a water shortage, you have to pump water. It can be said to be very tiring. Every day is busy, so you can have a good harvest in the autumn.

In August, when the river crabs came into the circle, I had to go to the ground to watch them. I built a shack in the ground and lived in it every night. At the beginning, I was alone on the ground. Li was really scared. It only improved a little over time.

When the river crabs come out in October, I will set down the net at night, set up the net in the morning, go home and wait, but it will be very busy.

In the first year of breeding, the price was not so ideal. In addition, since I had just started breeding, I lacked experience and the output was relatively low. I had no sales channels myself, so I sold them to second-hand dealers. Prices are kept low. I invested 80,000 to 90,000 yuan, which means I got more than 70,000 yuan in return. It can be said that I made no money.

But what I paid this year was not much less than others. I even thought about giving up, but looking at my investment, I still felt a little unwilling. It's ups and downs, and my efforts are not proportional to my rewards, which hurts my confidence.

However, I still insist on breeding, because I firmly believe that hard work will always be rewarded. Over the past few years, things have slowly improved. I am also experienced in breeding, and I have my own sales now. There is no need to sell to second-rate dealers, and gradually I can make a profit every year. Although I don't earn much, only 50,000 or 60,000 yuan a year, I am quite satisfied.

My summary in the past few years is that when engaging in breeding in rural areas, you must persist. Although the risks of breeding are relatively high, the rewards are also considerable. In addition, you must have your own sales channels, although it is tiring. It's a bit tough, but you have to pay attention to honesty. Only in this way can you get better and better. Don't you have to pay for everything?

After I graduated from college, I chose to go back to the countryside to develop my career. I have achieved some success so far (the most beautiful boy in our village [shy]). Let me first tell you about my experience, and then share some of my experience. If you want to do farming in rural areas, reading this book will help you avoid some detours.

The greatest experience of farming in rural areas is that it is fun, you can endure loneliness, you can endure rumors, you can withstand pressure, and you have to battle wits and courage with an unknown force from time to time! [Holds face] To sum it up: it’s free, fulfilling, stressful, and a sense of accomplishment. All of this is based on your own interests and hobbies, not on a whim, otherwise it will be difficult to stick to it. This must also include feelings and emotions. If you just want to make money, the greater your expectations, the greater your disappointment. It can only be said that it is not easy, but it is worth a try for those who are willing. If you want to try it, you can continue reading below. [Flash of inspiration][呲呲]

"Getting Rich" is a good program. I have watched a lot of such programs. I believe that everyone who has entrepreneurial ideas should have watched it too. My experience is that just watch it. You can learn how the protagonists in the show solve problems when they encounter problems. Never copy the projects in it. So how do you choose a project that’s right for you?

First you have to know what resources you have available. For example, are there mountains? What kind of mountain is it? How big is it? Is there water? Can it be used directly? etc. The more resources that can be integrated and utilized, it means the lower the initial cost, the less investment, and the less difficulty. Then there will be fewer difficulties in the early stage, and the pressure on yourself will naturally be less, which is basically half the success. I am breeding in the back of my home, so there is basically no pressure.

Secondly, it is necessary to conduct market research. This is quite professional and I can’t explain it clearly at the moment. Simply put, you have to make sure you can sell it. Like how is your local market? Is there great potential to expand the market in the future? What about room for horizontal and vertical development? etc.

The cultural environment in rural areas is characterized by a lot of chatter. If you cannot have a good relationship with your neighbors, it will be difficult for you to do anything. You can imagine the powerful relationship here by yourself. [呲呲][呲呲][呲呲]

First of all, you must determine whether your goals are clear, and whether you have the determination to never give up until you reach your goals. If not, don't start. Because there are too many reasons for you to give up at any time in the countryside.

The second thing is to solicit everyone’s opinions. It doesn’t matter whether you listen or not. The main thing is to tell everyone what you want to do by soliciting opinions and get everyone’s support. There are too many nosy people in the countryside. If you don't say hello in advance, you won't know how you will die. [Wit]

This is the secret of my success. I don’t tell most people. [Cute]

Here I skipped the project directly! After all, specific projects are analyzed in detail, and everyone is welcome to communicate with us.

Why do you need to be able to tell stories?

Everyone knows the story of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang’s uprising, right? If you don’t know, you can open the Chinese textbook and review it again. [Lovely]

It was by making up stories that Chen Sheng laid the foundation for his uprising.

For example, telling your own story well can gain everyone’s recognition. As the saying goes, good salesmen sell themselves first.

Then, a good entrepreneurial story is also crucial. In this way, you can get a lot of support and help virtually.

The last step is to give your product a story. Pure product value is limited, and market recognition is also limited. Giving stories means adding added value to your products so that they are more expensive and easier to sell. For example, for Ganoderma lucidum eggs, ordinary eggs cost 0.5 yuan each, while Ganoderma lucidum eggs cost 2 yuan each and are still in short supply. Therefore, it is necessary to seek the extraordinary in the ordinary.

Second, you have to think about what to raise and how much money to invest. Third, after you have thought about the above, start choosing a place and how to raise it. You need to consider clearly what advantages and disadvantages this place has for you.

An unforgettable experience of losing money. After raising it once, you will never raise it again in the future. ,,,

Be on tenterhooks

Farmers in rural areas are all old people, so they are very important. I can no longer do physical work. I raise pigs, chickens and sheep to supplement my living expenses. I can also exercise and feel better. And can live longer. Beautiful things.

What is your experience of rural farming? I can tell you it is a "roller coaster" experience.

My cousin is an out-and-out rural person. He has gone out to work before, but he didn’t make any money, so he had to go home and farm. Farming cannot subsidize the family’s income, so he has to find another way out. .

Later, she came into contact with the breeding industry. She heard that raising pigs was profitable, so she scraped together a loan of 200,000 yuan and started her breeding career. I raised pigs, white goats and chickens. Because I had no breeding experience, I saved my money in the first year. Things gradually improved and I bought a car! The family also lived happily.

Just in 2018, the sudden outbreak of swine fever dealt him a huge blow. He had just made an improvement but then suffered a complete loss.

But he did not give up. At the end of 2019, the price of pork suddenly exploded, making him a lot of money, and he once again reached the pinnacle of his life. He talked about his career and said that although it was a bit dirty and tiring, when he saw those lively and active lives, he would sincerely love them! Especially those new born pups! To see them is to see hope!

So his life is really thrilling and dangerous, it seems like he has been on a roller coaster.
