At present, Shandong and Hebei are only 15 to 20 days away from the new cotton spring sowing. The target price subsidies have not yet been implemented, and cotton prices are rising without hope. In addition, the subsidy of 200 yuan / mu is insufficient to compensate for the gap between grain yield and grain yield. Farmers' enthusiasm for planting cotton has been compromised, and the reduction of cotton production in the mainland has become a foregone conclusion. Considering the characteristics of local soil and farmers' planting habits, it is estimated that the cotton planting area in the Yellow River basin will be reduced by 30% in 2015.

A farmer in Boxing County of Binzhou explained that the main reason for the downward trend of cotton planting was the low yield of cotton, which was time-consuming compared with grain production. According to him, the situation of cotton planting in their villages is very obvious. The decrease of cotton planting area is estimated to be over 60%. "Although cotton quality was good last year, the yield per mu was also high, but cotton prices did not come, and the annual cotton yield per mu was only about 1500 yuan (excluding labor cost). He told futures Daily reporters that he had contracted out the land at 500 yuan / mu this year and went out to work. However, Boxing county is a special case. In Binzhou, Dongying and other areas around Bohai, due to the salinization of soil, the adaptability of crops such as corn and wheat is not good. These areas do not grow cotton and can not grow other crops. On the whole, the cotton planting area is reduced by about 20%.

Cotton production in Dezhou and other suitable cotton areas is more serious. According to the relevant person in charge of Dezhou Cotton Association, cotton, grain, vegetables and fruits can be planted in the area. The cotton planting area in 2010 to 2014 was 1 million 550 thousand mu, 1 million 630 thousand mu, 1 million 300 thousand mu, 1 million 130 thousand mu and 680 thousand mu respectively, and the reduction rate in 2015 was estimated at 40%. For the 235 yuan / mu planting subsidy, he believes that this is of little significance for raising farmers' enthusiasm for cotton planting. On the one hand, cotton is relatively low in yield. Even with subsidies, it is better to grow vegetables and fruits than to grow grain. A local farmer said that the annual yield of one mu of pepper was more than 3000 yuan, much higher than that of cotton seed. On the other hand, grain planting can basically be mechanized. Farmers do not go to work without going to work. The person in charge calculated: the average yield of seed cotton is 540 Jin / mu, the average selling price is 3.15 yuan / Jin, the average planting cost is 1700 yuan / mu, the average yield is 400 yuan / mu, and the grain is planted, the income is above 1000 yuan / mu, and the spare time can go out to work, and the monthly salary is between 2000 yuan and 3000 yuan. In this way, seed cotton is almost unattractive.

The situation in Hebei is similar. From the sample survey of 5000 farmers in Hebei, the planting area decreased by 19.8% in 2015, from 6 million 120 thousand acres in 2014 to 4 million 650 thousand mu, which is close to the lowest historical value. At present, the support of national policies is small, and the efficiency of alternative crops is high. In recent years, 8 years and September cloudy weather caused cotton production and demotion, which severely damaged farmers' enthusiasm for planting cotton.
