Why are farmers reluctant to give up farming even though they are losing money? What is the reason?

In fact, farmers will not lose money by farming, but they will not make money.

Farmers insist on farming with the following considerations:

1. Agricultural cultivation is the foundation of human survival, and there is food at home, and there is no panic in the heart。Food, clothing, housing and transportation, food comes first. If you don't wear it, as long as you don't go out, you can weave it yourself with leaves and straw, and you can wrap yourself in the cold; If you don't live, you can dig a cave and build a thatched hut; It's simpler, the legs are long on the body, you can go wherever you want, it's just a matter of time.

And eating is different, three meals a day, everyone is indispensable, in the short term, you can go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, find wild fruits, go into the water to catch fish and shrimp, but there are more people and wild vegetables and fish and shrimp are limited, and there will be an end of time. Therefore, we must rely on agriculture to eat.

2. If the farmland is not cultivated, grass will grow。If the time is longer, thorns and even trees will grow, and it will take a lot of effort to resume cultivation in the later stage, and there will be several years when the crops will not grow well and the yield will be very low. Because the cultivation ecology of the land takes a long time to form.

3. Diligence and simplicity and glorious labor are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation。Most of the working population in rural areas go out to work, but there are always people who are old, young, or unable to go out for various reasons. If these people don't do something at home, not only will they feel uncomfortable, but they will also be secretly scolded to death by their neighbors, "If you are lazy to eat, your bones will be lazy" and so on.

4. Work in the field as leisure and health and exercise. Some people are used to working, and once they stop working that day and have no other hobbies, they will get sick after a long time.

5. Concerns about healthy diet。Many people think that they are more comfortable planting themselves. Buy and eat, although it is convenient, ** is also sufficient, and there is no shortage of that money, but who knows what medicine they used?

Are there any drug residues? Cultivate and eat by yourself, pesticides and fertilizers will be used carefully, even if you have to use them, you will calculate the effective time and will not mess around.

It is hoped that when the organization promulgates relevant rural policies, it will fully listen to the opinions of the broad masses of the people and preserve the Chinese farming civilization that has been formed with great difficulty over thousands of years.

In order to solve the problem of food and clothing, according to traditional farming, although traditional farming is not profitable, it can ensure that they have food. At least you don't need to buy it and eat it. The land gives the peasants a sense of security.

The state-owned state stipulates that the land use right shall be recovered without compensation for abandoned land that has not been used for two consecutive years. Therefore, many people do other things to earn their own families, and instead of planting the land, they would rather give it to others than give up the land. There is nothing else to do but farm.

Now the people who farm the land are all old people over the age of 50 or 60, and it is impossible for the employer to accept them when they go to the city to work, and even if they take them in, there are no suitable jobs.

For many elderly people, this is a good way to make money, after all, they have been farming all their lives and have become accustomed to it.

This is because farming is the only thing a farmer can do; Because farming allows you to have food to eat, and you don't have to buy other food.

Because the older generation has a very loving feeling for the land, they are reluctant to leave the land that they have worked hard all their lives, and in addition, they do not have any survival skills, only farming.
