Is it economical to grow rice without rent?

Not very cost-effective. The income from growing rice is limited, and even if you don't charge rent, you can't make much money. If you don't want rent, can't you just leave the land idle there? However, the villagers who go out don't want to do that, because once the fields in the mountains are idle for a year, the fields will be covered with all kinds of weeds. If they are left idle for more than two years, all kinds of trees and bamboos will grow in the ground, and it will not be so easy to cultivate them.

The more villagers go out, the more idle fields there are in the mountains. Therefore, the villagers at home have more choices. They will choose fields that are large and easy to cultivate. Therefore, even if the fields in remote mountainous areas are rent-free, no villagers are willing to farm. "Most people in the family are elderly people, so it is impossible to farm in remote fields." The villagers said.

As long as the villagers at home are hardworking, there will be endless food. In addition, they think it is healthier to eat the food they grow without pesticides and fertilizers. So even if they sell the food they can't eat, they usually sell it to familiar villagers and friends.

Villagers in mountain villages plow their fields with small machines, but transplanting rice seedlings is still done by hand, and cutting rice during harvest season is also done by hand. Whenever transplanting rice and cutting rice, the villagers will ask many people for help. "Although the food can't be eaten, it is actually bought with money. The traditional transplanting and harvesting mode is time-consuming and laborious, and the labor wage is high. The more you plant, the more you owe. " A villager said that using artificial money to buy rice will buy more grain, so I don't envy it, but the grown grain is delicious and healthy.

"My family doesn't have enough to eat. Maybe in the future, picking up other people's fields will not only cost your rent, but also charge other people's money. "
