Has being a farmer become the most profitable industry?

If being a farmer was the most profitable industry, there wouldn’t be so many people choosing to work hard in the city and then look for jobs in the city. At least for now, farmers are definitely not the most profitable industry. The reasons for making money are as follows:

Firstly, farmers generally live in rural areas, and farmers and farmers are two different concepts. Farmers often do not have much land, at least in the whole of China. Most farmers still use the small-field farming model. The biggest feature of this model is that although there is not much land, it is enough to support the farmer's family. Farmers are often self-sufficient and eat everything they grow at home. Although it does not have to be like in the city, People there need to make various purchases, but farmers do not have high incomes. Farmers often have very little land, and small land means they cannot grow many crops. If they cannot grow many crops, farmers naturally cannot get much money.

The second point is that the source of income for farmers is not stable. It really depends on the weather. If the weather is good in a year, farmers can make a lot of money, but if there is a serious drought in any year, farmers will be able to make a lot of money. If this happens, farmers will not be able to make much money. At the same time, crop yields will not only be affected by the weather, but sometimes emergencies such as insect disasters will destroy the crops that farmers have worked so hard to grow. Therefore, it will be difficult for farmers to maintain high incomes all the time. On the other hand, those who work in cities often have five insurances and one housing fund, stable wages, and a fixed source of income, and their income does not change due to changes in the weather. Therefore, farmers are really not the most profitable industry, but the most profitable industry. The industry is often business, and this is also true. Most of China's richest people are businessmen, not farmers.
