Working for hire in the countryside is also quite good.

(Baonghean.vn) - Agricultural machinery rental services have become very popular in many rural areas of Nghe An. Many families have invested in plows and harvesters to work for farmers and have become well-off households.

Nowadays, the image of a buffalo walking in front and a plow following behind has become very rare in rural fields. Instead, specialized mechanical machines are chosen by people to replace their manual plowing work.

In the fields of Nghe An, along Provincial Road 558 and National Highway 46A... every 1-2 acres of field, there is an agricultural machine actively working to harvest the spring crop and work the summer-autumn crop to ensure the right season.

Mr. Cao Quoc Hoang, Hung Thai commune, Hung Nguyen district excitedly said: “It is the production season, so I work day and night to meet the farmers' schedule. Currently, people mainly rent machines to do everything, high productivity, efficiency, and timely. Therefore, I receive more than 10 calls a day, many times I can't keep up and have to refuse customers, or tell them to wait until the next day. I start work from early morning until 10 pm before stopping.”

Mr. Hoang shared that because many rural households are lacking workers, he decided to borrow 200 million to invest in buying multi-purpose agricultural machines that can plow, till the land, make beds...

Every day, his machine can plow 30-35 hectares, with the land preparation price of 130-150 thousand VND/sao. After deducting maintenance and fuel costs, on average, after each crop season lasting 10-15 days, Mr. Hoang earns 50-60 million VND in wages. The wages are many times higher than other jobs.

The rice thresher is also one of the agricultural machines that many people look to rent. Mr. Nguyen Trong Truong, hamlet 3 - Hung Tan said: "I bought a rice thresher for about 10 million, after finishing all my fields, I took the opportunity to work for other families in need. At its peak, there were days when I received more than 3 - 4 hectares of rice, an average of 80 thousand VND/sao. Thanks to renting out the rice thresher, my family's life has also become more prosperous."

Ms. Luong Thi Binh, Nam Dan said: "There is a service to rent agricultural machines. Although it is more expensive than hiring workers, the capacity of the machine is 4-6 times higher than manual work, and the fields are guaranteed to be seasonal..."
