1. Working in cities has become the first choice for many farmers, because the wages in cities are much higher than those in rural areas. It takes about 100 a day to work on the construction site, not to mention other jobs. So many farmers leave their children and the elderly at home and choose to work in big cities. Moreover, compared with farming, part-time jobs actually pay the same labor, but the income is far more than farming.
2. Leisure agriculture may be because people's living standards are getting better and better now, so many city people like to come to the countryside to experience a farmhouse, so many business-minded farmers change their fields into leisure farmhouses for tourists to visit. If it happens to be in an area with developed tourism, the income of one day in the peak season may exceed the income of farming for one month. And some unsalable vegetables and fruits can also be sold to tourists, and even picking gardens can be opened for tourists to pick. Therefore, the development of farmhouse music is indeed a good way to kill two birds with one stone.
3. Self-employed individuals are also the choice of many farmers now. Some elderly people who don't want to go to the city for development or have poor legs and feet will open a small shop in the village to sell goods. Although they may not earn much money in a day, they are enough. There are also some young people with flexible minds who choose to open online stores and sell some local specialties through online and offline combination. This kind of business is generally very good, and some can even drive the whole village to get rich.
Therefore, in fact, farmers don't have to stick to farming. The above three ways earn more money than farming. In fact, as long as they are creative and flexible, any road is meaningful.
