How much can you earn a day picking cotton in rural Xinjiang?

I worked for a few days ten years ago. At that time, the manual cost of one kilogram seemed to be only a little more than one yuan, less than one and a half yuan. Anyway, I remember that I can only pick 50 kilograms a day when I insist on working, and a girl of fifteen or sixteen can pick more than 100 kilograms. Those who have worked with their parents for many years are already veterans. Compared with them, we are too amateur. Xinjiang is the main cotton producing area in China. Every winter comes, a large number of cotton pickers are recruited. Judging from previous years, everyone earned a lot of money, and winter happened to be the off-season. Many farmers' friends even go to Xinjiang to do short-term work by car. So how much money can you earn by picking cotton in Xinjiang?

Xinjiang is the main cotton producing area in China. Every winter comes, a large number of cotton pickers are recruited. Judging from previous years, everyone earned a lot of money, and winter happened to be the off-season. Many farmers' friends even go to Xinjiang to do short-term work by car. So how much money can you earn by picking cotton in Xinjiang?

First of all, how much money you can earn depends on the way you work. To put it bluntly, is it a permanent job or a temporary job? For flower workers in Xinjiang, this is the difference. If you work with a boss all winter and all the cotton is picked, you can settle the bill in a unified way. This is a regular gardener. In this case, it can be relatively low, generally about 2 cents per kilogram of 2 yuan; If it is a temporary recruitment by the boss, it only takes a few days to settle accounts. In this case, the wages of temporary workers can be relatively high, generally around 5 cents per kilogram of 2 yuan.

Secondly, it depends on the amount of cotton picked. Generally speaking, cotton opening can be divided into three times. The water content of the first flower is very high, and about 150 kg of flowers can be picked every day on average. The water content of the second flower can be lower, but the quality is better than that of the first flower. On average, about 100 kg can be picked every day. As for picking the tail flowers, they are basically cleaned up, and the amount is not very large. It's enough to pay 30 or 40 kilograms. According to the current actual situation, it is not bad to keep the picking amount at 80 kg on average for several days. In other words, the daily income is basically about 200 yuan's money. Of course, the premise is to control food.

In fact, the daily work of flower pickers is still very hard, especially in Xinjiang, where most cotton producing areas are relatively remote, and basically a day's life is solved in cotton fields. It gets dark later in Xinjiang, and I work about 15 hours a day. At present, the state pays more and more attention to cotton planting and production in Xinjiang, and the annual cotton planting subsidy has increased a lot. The current subsidy price is basically around 1 ton 18000 yuan. I believe that with the increase of subsidies, the wages of most flower workers will also rise, making more money.
