Rice farmland transform to sugar cane.

Last year I rented land for farmland and ended land lease in March 2017. The landowner and I agreed not to rent the land again because of rice sales losses.The price of rice is 5 baht per kilogram, which is the lowest price in the past 5 years. Even though I received 1000 baht from the government farmer's aid scheme, I rented 4 rais of land. So I got all the money 4000 baht. I am totally discouraged I had decided that resigning my land lease. If I am only a farmer And definitely I can't lived. Because I still have many careers my was survive. 
(1 rai is 400 square meters)

The landowner was looking for a new tenant, he had found a man sugarcane farmer. They have to plant sugarcane for 5 years in the land lease price of 2000 baht per square. 

Sugarcane prices are guaranteed by law prices. Do not exceed the threshold. Sugarcane farmers do not suffer from low agricultural prices (I do not know the exact price).

New landlord I have known each other for a long time, he living in the same village. He cultivates sugar canes, cassava, rice. Etc. so called him really farmer. 

It is a very coincidental of growing rice change into sugarcane. The rotated crops plants is very good because it reduces the number of insects and pests. Reduces chemical usage and reduces costs. The crop rotation plants is not popular in Thailand due to limited area and water resources. But if it is vegetable plant grow Thai farmers cultivate widely. 

My friend living in Sweden once talked to me. The rotated Crops have been widespread for nearly 100 years in Sweden.

I missed the opportunity not to renew the lease of land in which this land planted a variety of crops. The land plots for irrigation Near the water source. The elevation of the land is higher than the adjacent plot, so do not worry about lack of water. But The soil condition is rather degraded. The soil is red and roughly. 

The new tenant, Sam, has a success experience of growing sugarcane. Expert How to cultivate the care of diseases and insects And harvesting He said that only care for the first year, when the sugar cane growth 1 year old, already cut the stem for sell but the sugarcane plant could the branch go to the next year and he had the same way totall for 5 years produce. After finish harvesting 5th they would grow plant prepare new generation. 
it is my direct experience for readers to listen.
