How to get more benefits from planting peanuts in farming season?

With the decline of corn and wheat prices, some farmers began to grow other crops. First of all, peanuts are the first choice for many people. Some friends are going to plant peanuts this year, but they don't know the cost and profit of peanuts, so they are hesitant. So in this article, the little helper will calculate an account for everyone to see what the cost of peanuts is per mu (standard mu of 667 square meters), and then calculate the final profit through output and price to decide whether or not.

Let's talk about the cost from planting to harvesting, excluding land rent and labor, just planting the land in your own home.

Seed: The sowing amount per mu is about 30 kg, and the price of peanut varieties will be different according to their characteristics. The seed cost is basically around 200 yuan.

Soil preparation: soil preparation should be done well, starting with plowing and harrowing. If you have a machine at home, you only need to spend one gas money. If you find someone else, you must pay at least 100 yuan.

Sowing: Just like soil preparation, we have machinery at home and only need oil money. If you find someone else, an acre of land is about 50 yuan.

Seed dressing agent: There are many kinds of seed dressing agents, and the price ranges from 10 to 40 yuan. Choose a medium size and press 25 yuan per mu.

Fertilizer: A bag of compound fertilizer is essential. In the later stage, according to the needs of growth, this one won at least 200 yuan.

Pesticides: First, the herbicide per mu is about 10 yuan, and then peanuts are applied three times (pesticides, fungicides, insecticides, foliar fertilizers, etc.). ) is about 100 yuan.

Watering: If you have your own equipment, you will also spend money to buy oil, and in the actual planting process, you will often water it more than once, which is 50- 100 yuan.

Harvesting: If harvesting is carried out, manual pulling is required for small areas, and machine harvesting is required for large areas, with an area of about 200 yuan per mu or even higher.

To sum up, the total cost of planting peanuts on an acre of land is about 1 000 yuan (excluding land rent and labor). Next, let's see how much money we can make:

The output of one acre of peanuts is four or five hundred Jin, and the better one can reach eight or nine hundred Jin. Take a medium yield of 700 kilograms per acre as an example.

The price varies from region to region, ranging from less than 2 yuan/kg to more than 2.5 yuan/kg, and 2.2 yuan/kg also takes the middle figure.

It can be seen that the income per mu is about 1.500 yuan. Excluding the cost, an acre of land can earn about 400-500 yuan (this figure is the average, so don't over-interpret it, there are less than this and more than this, which is normal).

The little helper will tell you the cost and profit of planting so many peanuts. As for whether to plant peanuts, it depends on how you choose. In fact, we can't control the price of corn, soybean or peanut, but we can decide the yield. The higher the rate of return, the greater the profit. So, don't complain about the price, and honestly improve the rate of return is the key, right?
