A mu of corn, threshing to sell than not threshing to sell more than 300 yuan, why do people still choose not threshing?

First of all, let's do some calculations:Non-threshing:Yield per acre is about 1800-2000 kilograms, the income per acre is 720-900 yuan, the price is 0.40-0.45 yuan per kilogram. Threshing:Yield per mu is about 1,000-1,200 kilograms, income per mu is 900-1,200 yuan at 0.90-1 yuan per kilogram.

Based only on the analysis of these data, the income from threshing is higher than the income from not threshing. However, the price of threshing without threshing is the price of selling directly in the field, i.e., selling directly after harvest without air-drying. If the corn is pulled home on a stick and dried, it sells for about $0.76/kg (but with a corresponding reduction in weight).

But we should also consider labor costs. If it is a big farmer, it is better to thresh and sell. After all, it is primarily a grower. If it's a small farmer with only a few acres, it depends.

First of all, there is nothing to do at home, busy with farm work during the busy season and odd jobs during the free season. In this case, they also thresh and sell. It doesn't matter if they are tired or not. After all, they land and don't think about the cost of labor.

Secondly, the family has a few acres of land, but the whole family works outside the home, coming back once for planting and once for harvesting. In between, dosing would be done by relatives instead. After all, a day's vacation would result in a day's pay being deducted. There is also the risk of dismissal if the delay is too long. In this case, it is recommended that this group of friends who come across the collection of corn with sticks should just sell it. This is easy and convenient and there will be no delay in continuing to work outside.

Thirdly, when there is no dry place in the house, it is also advisable to sell it directly without threshing.

In summary, there are advantages and disadvantages to selling corn threshed and non-threshed. There is no fixed answer as to which is better, because everyone's situation is different, so choosing the one that suits you is the one that will yield the most profit.
