In rural areas, why do some people farm to earn money, while others farm to lose money?

Replace the word "farming" with "buy lottery tickets" in this question, the effect is the same, isn't it? Say a joke. In fact, the reasons are almost the same, mainly depending on the sky.

Analyzing the real reasons, I think there are mainly the following aspects:

First, the scale is different.

Large agricultural companies "farm" to make money, in fact, they are not farming, they are engaged in agriculture, and the resources and financial resources they have are not comparable with small **. They have data support, have a certain estimate of the market, low risk coefficient, even if they encounter market mutations, they also have a certain market operation ability and financial security, and it is not a matter of taking a line with ** and going to the bank to borrow a loan. Small ** does not have these abilities at all,For what to plant、What to sell and other aspects of the bottom,The information obtained is fragmented,Not complete,The choice of what to plant is basically to follow the trend,So now the small ** farming is really not much different from buying lottery tickets,The minority who won the lottery,The majority of the minority。

Second, the mode of agricultural production is different.

Large-scale farming, can achieve mechanization, high production efficiency, low production cost, small due to the scale of the problem, it is difficult to achieve mechanization, there are still many places, still in the kind of "shoulder-to-shoulder" agricultural production mode of decades ago. The production of the same quality and the same type of agricultural products is not competitive in the market at all.

Third, the agricultural production technology is different.

Large-scale farming, basically can obtain more detailed scientific management technology, small ** is basically based on their own experience, it is easy to lose money due to poor management caused by heavy losses.

Fourth, the quality standards of agricultural products are not perfect.

A part of the small **, in recent years, optimistic about the high-quality ecological agricultural products market, began to enter the ecological agricultural products industry, but due to the entire market for agricultural products grade standards are not perfect, small ** is also difficult to establish their own credit endorsement, can not obtain the corresponding market recognition, coupled with the mass consumers of agricultural products, for ecological agricultural products are not enough attention, mass consumers do not have the identification of product quality at all, are herd mentality, which thing sells large, buy which, which advertisement more, buy which. Everyone is a consumer, just ask you to buy things now, how many of them are not in this mentality. Therefore, this part of the small ** engaged in characteristic planting, there are also few successes.

There are also some things to do with the region, such as being close to economically developed big cities (such as the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta), and the surrounding areas of these cities earn more money from farming than in the inland provinces. This is mainly related to the city's consumption capacity and logistics costs. As for the plain, mountainous and hilly terrain and climate, it is not very related, because different terrain and different climates have their own advantages and agricultural products.

Farming is based on the fertility of the land, if the land is fertile, and often watered, apply farm fertilizer, loosen the soil, the crops will be better, on the contrary, the yield will be increased if the fertilizer is applied, but there is no farm fertilizer is good, if the fertilizer is often applied, the rain washes, and the river and the land have an impact on the land for a long time, so this is the reason why farming loses money and makes money.

Because some people's land is more fertile and planted properly, some people plant it and don't care about it.

Because there are some people who only grow some ** expensive food, but this yield is not very good, so they lose money.
