On the morning of October 5th, a small but very fine rain just floated over the West Xiao Wang Township of Wudi county.

"The rain is too busy this year, right.

In Hebei village, West Xiao Wang Township.

Fu Mulin, director of the economic and Trade Office of West Xiao Wang Township, introduced that, as the main cotton producing area in Wudi County, in 2011, there were about 120 thousand mu of cotton planted in West Xiao Wang Township, with an average yield of around 250 kg.

At present, there are 6 400 types of cotton packers and processing enterprises in Wudi County, of which 5 are located in West Xiao Wang Township.

At the same time, there are more than 30 other small and medium-sized cotton processing enterprises in Western Xiao Wang Township, 2 cotton textile enterprises, and the processing capacity is strong, and the demand for cotton is also large.

"There are twenty or thirty acres of cotton fields in the countryside, and more than 100 acres of farmers are living there.

The more cotton fields go, the more concentrated the cotton fields will be.

Fu Mulin said that despite the variety of crops, cotton prices fluctuated from last year to an inevitable rate.

When the cotton was bought last year, the price of the scale was 9.6 yuan per kilogram, and then it was bullish. In the middle of November, the cotton price reached the highest level, and the price was 14.4 yuan to 14.6 yuan per kilogram. However, this shocking price only lasted for more than half a month, and cotton price dropped rapidly under the control of the national policy. Most cotton growers and purchasers failed to sell the high price they expected.

Before and after the Spring Festival this year, cotton price dropped to 11.6 yuan to 12 yuan per kilogram.

After the first month of fifteen, cotton prices continued to decline, and dropped to 8.4 yuan to 9 yuan per kilogram in April and May.

Fu Mulin believes that although the fluctuation of cotton prices will not be very large this year, there will still be many cotton farmers reluctant to sell cotton, but the number of cotton stocks has been greatly reduced compared with previous years.

"You can make more money from your own land, and if you plant other people's land, you will not make much money."

Cotton farmer Zhang master and reporters counted the accounts: more than 30 acres of cotton fields in his family, 20 acres are contracted land, the contract fee per mu is more than 600 yuan, and even the soil quality is even 650 yuan. Cotton topping, core killing, and branchwork must be employed.

The amount of pesticide per mu is 100 yuan, the mulching film is more than 30 yuan, the seed is more than 150 yuan, the compound fertilizer is more than 200 yuan, and then the water, herbicide and other expenses are added. The 00 dispersion is added together, and the total cost is at least 1400 yuan to 1500 yuan.

Zhang said, optimistic estimate, according to the average yield of 200 kilograms, 8 yuan 1 kilograms, the price of 1600 yuan per mu, the cost is removed, each mu still earn less than 200 yuan.

"You don't have to pay a contract for your own land, you can earn 800 yuan to 1000 yuan per mu."

Zhang admitted that at this time last year, a family of twenty or thirty mu of cotton, such as his own family, could get a maximum income of more than 20 thousand yuan per year.

"Nothing can be said this year.

Good cotton is sold for four yuan per catty, and the bad cotton is sold at a maximum of 2 yuan per catty. Two or three.

To ensure that no loss, how much money can be earned, how much money per kilogram will have to sell 5 yuan, this is my psychological bottom line, can not sell this number directly lose money.

He said that he worked hard all the year round and earned more money than he worked hard to earn 2 months.

If the situation is not good, cotton will not be planted next year.
