Chapter 311 Risk
Now the risks in the planting industry and breeding industry are getting greater and greater, especially large-scale planting and breeding. If there is market fluctuation, the cost may not be recovered.
Not to mention encountering pig-raising people like natural disasters and man-made disasters in the first half of the year, although the price of pork has soared, most people only see the price of pork soaring, thinking that those who feed pigs have made a lot of money.
Those breeders who had nothing to do with their pigs did make a big profit in this wave of price increases, but those people were lucky.
More of them are farmers who have lost their underwear. Wu Fei and his team have several pig farmers of all sizes. Except for a small farmer who survived this storm, all other farmers have been destroyed.
The surviving farmer was built in a remote manner, and few people went to that farm. In addition, the farm fed pigs were all from their own families, and the sanitary conditions in the farm were maintained relatively well.
When the swine fever just started, the farm did everything they could do to protect themselves. Except for a few people in his family, all other outsiders refused to enter the farm.
Even if my family comes back from outside and enters the farm, they will take a shower and change their clothes. Before entering the farm, they will have to be disinfected by blue lights before they can finally enter the pig pen and see the pig.
I heard that the pigs in that farm were fed more than 300 kilograms this year before they were sold. Usually, they were fed more than 200 kilograms and were slaughtered. Very few were fed more than 300 kilograms.
Because there are few piglets in the town in the later period, even if there are a few piglets, the price is extremely expensive, and the increase is even more amazing than the price of pork.
In previous years, piglets that cost about ten yuan per pound were sold for fifty or sixty yuan per pound at the most expensive time this year. In this case, the pig farm naturally chose to raise existing pigs a little larger before buying them, which is more cost-effective.
When the most expensive pigs this year, they sold them for 23 yuan per catty, and a pig with a price of more than 300 kilograms. It costs about 7,000 yuan, which is more than two in previous years.
However, except for that one, the other pig farms were in trouble. All the pigs in the pig farm were dead. Even if the government provided subsidies for every buried dead pig, the subsidy of several hundred yuan per head could not be bought back.
This year, due to swine fever, the government has subsidized pigs buried due to swine fever. If the pig is less than 100 kilograms, one pig will be subsidized for 200 yuan. If the pig is 100-200 kilograms, one pig will be subsidized for 400 yuan. If the pig is more than 200 kilograms, one pig will be subsidized for 500 yuan.
However, Wu Fei heard that some rich places have much more generous subsidies for this area. In some places, the subsidies for pigs buried by dead and buried by swine fever can reach more than 1,000 yuan per head.
However, Wu Fei and his county are still labeled as a national poverty-stricken county, and I don’t know when I will be willing to take off this hat.
Logically speaking, now is the critical time for the country to eliminate poverty, and it is time for this hat to be taken off.
Wu Fei has not found any particularly poor families anyway. He has not found any problems with other people with hands and feet except those with disabilities in the five-guarantee households.
As for the pig farmers in the town this year, they can be said to have lost all their money, and the more they raise, the more they will get. Many bosses may be below the poverty line, but the subsidy from the state should not be enough for them to fill the holes.
If the pigs were raised for a long time, I had made more or less profitable in the past few years. If I had just started raising them, I would not make any money and I would lose all my money.
As for other farmers' pigs raised in fragments, many died. However, one or two of them are a little bit better for farmers. Anyway, most people raise them for the New Year, but during the New Year this year, there are much fewer pig slaughtering.
Many pigs died in Wu Fei and his village during this storm this year. There was a family in Wu Fei and his village who came back because they bought a few kilograms of pork in the town.
Then he poured the leftover vegetables for the two pigs fed at his home, and the two fat pigs with a weight of about 200 kilograms died like this. Although the government subsidized 400 yuan for each pig, the couple in that family were still so angry that they couldn't eat for several days.
Wu Fei heard from his father that since then, their family has not bought pork once for several months.
Even if you raise chickens and ducks, the risk is quite large. Anyway, do you have to report avian influenza in a certain place?
It won’t take long for Wu Fei and the others to experience chicken plague, just like the influenza that happens every year.
And as long as chicken plague occurs in the chicken farm, the chickens will die one by one.
Or the old saying always says: "The wealth of a family is rich, but the one with fur is not counted."
In addition to the various risks of large-scale farming, even farming has various problems, especially after the same crop reaches a certain scale.
When Wu Fei and his friends were in elementary school, people often came to collect wild ginger in the village.
Huang ginger is also called pillow root, Coptis chinensis, Rehmannia ginger, and wild ginger are the rhizomes that grow in the soil and are a medicinal herb.
Turmeric is a poisonous plant included in the Chinese Plant Map Database. Its toxicity is reflected by the people that rhizomes have nourishing effects, but excessive consumption can cause dizziness, dizziness and other poisoning symptoms; the mashed rhizomes can poison fish.
Every spring and autumn, you can dig it on the mountain. After digging it back, cut the ginger into pieces and then dry it in the sun, and then you can sell it in the pharmacy in the town for money.
However, Wu Fei and the others are all wet. During the summer vacation, Wu Fei and the others will always call on a few friends and run to the mountain with a small hoe to find Huang ginger.
At this time, the ginger grew for more than half a year and was the thickest. The seedlings on it were also the most lushest. As long as there were ginger nearby, it would be easy to find it.
Sometimes I find a large ginger tree, and one can dig out one or two kilograms.
Wu Fei still remembers that when the price of ginger was the most expensive, you could buy more than two yuan per pound. This is the kind of ginger that just dug out wet.
During the years when the price is the best, every time the summer vacation is when people get it, people often come to the village to collect ginger.
In order to earn more pocket money, children of the same age as Wu Fei and others often go up the mountain to dig ginger.
Wu Fei remembers that as soon as the summer vacation was in, as long as the family did not arrange for him to do things, he would run out with his friends to dig ginger. Even when he went up the mountain to herd cattle, he would bring a small hoe and dig out immediately when he found the ginger.
