Plant

Area and yield, etc., the Yancheng City price monitoring center of the main grain producing areas of our province, the joint development and Reform Commission of Dafeng City, investigated the planting intentions of some farmers in 2012.

The survey shows that in 2012, the planting area of major grain crops is expected to increase, including soybean planting.

The measure of area

The increase is most significant, and the cotton planting area will be significantly reduced.

Oilseeds

There was no significant change in the area of crops, vegetables, fruits and other crops.

According to the survey, the planting area of corn and soybean households in Dafeng City in 2012 is expected to be 5.19 Mu and 2.54 Mu respectively, compared with 2011, with net growth of 0.71 Mu and 1.86 Mu respectively.

Cotton planting area will decrease significantly.

The average planting area of cotton crops in Dafeng City in 2012 is estimated at 4.65 mu, a decrease of 1.72 mu / household compared with 6.37 mu in 2011, with a reduction of 27%.

The main reason is that cotton prices have dropped sharply compared with the same period last year, and farmers' enthusiasm for cotton planting has been severely frustrated.

According to the survey, in 2011, the seed cotton purchase price of the city went up and down, from 4.20 yuan per kilogram last September to just 3.73 yuan / kg at the end of last year, compared with the average purchase price of 11 yuan / kg last year, the purchase price of seed cotton dropped by nearly 3 times in 2011, which is far from the psychological expectation of cotton farmers.

The two is the serious reduction of cotton production in 2011, resulting in a sharp decline in cotton farmers' income.

In 2011, the average cotton yield per mu was estimated to be 48.71 kg, a sharp decrease of 36.42 kg compared with 85.13 kg in the previous year. The cash yield per mu of cotton is expected to be only 701.54 yuan, a sharp decrease of 1597.91 yuan compared with the actual 2299.45 yuan last year, with a reduction of 69.49%.
