The corn is about to be harvested. Is it better to sell the cobs directly, or is it more cost-effective to sell the kernels after dehydration and threshing?

Selling cobs is the same as selling seeds. These account buyers have long since finished. However, there is an exception, that is, if your corn variety is special and the kernels are light and the cob core is very large, then it is more cost-effective to sell the cobs.

In addition, selling grain depends on the market situation. If the price of new grain is higher than the same period in previous years, then sell the sticks directly. If it is lower than previous years, then thresh and store the price. To be honest, this year is really not a good year. As far as the grain-producing areas of Henan are concerned, there were first floods and then a major outbreak of corn rust. The corn output was reduced by at least 35% or more compared with previous years.

Last year (2020) in the eastern Henan region, the price of new grain from the corn harvest was 1.15 yuan per catty, and the winter gross grain price rose to 1.35 yuan per catty. In the spring after the new year, refined grains for breeding (washed and picked) will rise from 1.48 yuan per catty to 1.55 yuan per catty. Until now, the price of refined grains for breeding remains the same!

Many of the Northeastern corns with the best quality are used in food processing. The grain used for breeding in the Mainland mainly relies on local production, especially the numerous primary processing enterprises of refined grains in the Mainland. This year's corn in Henan was affected by the storm "Fireworks" during the heading and pollination period, resulting in reduced yields. Especially the rainy and low temperatures in the later period seriously affected the temperature accumulation of corn. Coupled with the outbreak of rust, the plants experienced premature senescence and death in the late grain-filling period. Problems such as serious pests and diseases have a great impact on the yield and quality of corn.

The breeding industry and breeding products have a great impact on the price of corn. Among them, the poultry and pig industries consume the most corn. This year, the price of eggs has soared from more than 3 yuan to 5 yuan per catty. The price of pork has dropped significantly. In turn, the consumption of corn will decrease.

Let’s not talk about the current corn reserves. The price of new corn this year is 1.25 to 1.28 yuan per pound for 20% of the new grain. From this, we can see that there is little chance of a fall in corn prices this year.

It is not easy for farmers to grow food. The cost of agricultural materials and seeds is increasing year by year. The cost of farming is getting higher and higher. Any difference in food prices will have an impact on life. If there is a place to store it, I will store the food for a while.
