Chapter 683: Everyone Knows About the Difficulty of Controlling Sand (2/2)
When Wu Lei came to the Jiagu Oasis base again, he saw Qi Zheng, the boss of Jiagu, talking to a person who looked like a leader.
Wei Ming, the person in charge of the oasis who brought him in, walked up to Qi Zheng and whispered softly to him.
Qi Zheng looked up at Wu Lei and nodded slightly.
Wei Ming turned around and whispered to Wu Lei, "You wait a minute. ”
Wu Lei was relieved and sat in the corner with Wei Ming with interest, while he quickly pricked up his ears to listen.
The person who only listened to the leader said in a persuasive tone: "Dong Qi, the animal husbandry of our Ala Alliance is waiting for your forage rescue, you have to help." If we have forage from Jiagu, it will not only greatly alleviate the grazing pressure on natural grassland, but also enable the implementation of the policy of returning grazing to grassland......"
Listening to him, it should be the main leader of the Ala Shanxi League.
"Returning grazing to grassland", Wu Lei also understands it.
For more than half a century, due to the surge of grazing livestock in the grasslands dozens of times, the serious overloading and degradation of grasslands has become a serious ecological problem in China, and the natural grasslands of the Al-Shanmeng are also among them.
The state adopts three forms: banning grazing, fallow grazing, and rotational grazing in different areas, and provides subsidies for grain and forage to herdsmen. The leader was clearly targeting the pasture of Jiagu.
Then I saw Qi Zheng helplessly spread his hands and said: "It's not that I don't want to, but the alfalfa we produce has been designated by the Ministry of Agriculture as a special feed for upgrading milk sources. ”
The local leader sighed, and it was not easy to force people, so he made another request: "Najiagu provides us with new alfalfa varieties, and we can build artificial grassland ourselves." ”
Qi Zheng bowed: "This is naturally possible." But I'll tell you the truth, you see such a high yield in our oasis, one is that there is enough water resources, and the key to desert management is water. If you build artificial grassland in a place where there is not so much water, it is actually a green surface and a loss of water inside, so you don't know how far you can go. ”
"Second, we also need sufficient organic fertilizer. But the supply of organic fertilizer in our company is also tight......"
"Hey, you can't give me good news, can you? The local leader laughed and scolded.
Qi Zheng also smiled, thought about it, and decided to get to the bottom of it, and said, "Actually, Jiagu plans to double the size of the oasis within two years. ”
"Double the size?" the leader heard this, and his thinking was already stiff. He had done his homework before, and at this time he couldn't help but say, "Isn't that a few million acres? and more than 20 billion yuan has been invested?"
"Then there is no need for such a big investment, the early stage is a blank exploration, including roads, pipelines and so on are built from scratch, the investment is larger, and the later development has a foundation, relatively easy. Qi Zheng paused, and then said, "But labor is a problem. In fact, you can relocate the herders scattered in the desert grasslands, where the water conservancy development conditions are good, and it is easy to carry tens of thousands of people. ”
"I think it's feasible to relocate, but the herders are not used to it. The leader was thoughtful.
Qi Zheng smiled and said: "If you are embarrassed, you can put it forward, and we will refer to it together." For herders, we at Jiagu are heartily welcome......"
After that, Wu Lei didn't have the heart to listen to it.
He turned his head in disbelief and asked Wei Ming in a low voice, "You want to develop six or seven million acres of desert in the next two years?"
Wei Ming had been in the desert for six or seven years, single-handedly leading the development of the Jiagu Oasis, and he could understand Wu Lei's mood, he smiled and explained in a low voice: "This was originally our development roadmap. ”
"Develop the desert to grow grass?"
"Grow grass, yes, grass in most areas. ”
Wu Lei blinked: "Is your pasture so good?"
"Of course. Wei Ming gave an affirmative answer.
Wu Lei's expression was still weird, and he couldn't imagine that he had invested so much to plant grass.
Wei Ming glanced at him and said with a smile: "Let me put it this way, our new alfalfa contains 2%~5% alfalfa saponins, about 1.5% alfalfa flavonoids and alfalfa polysaccharides and other functional active ingredients, which play an important role in improving the production performance and product quality of livestock and poultry." ”
Wei Ming also pointed to the local leader covertly: "Otherwise, why do you think the leader came to the door because it can help herdsmen increase production and income." ”
Wu Lei's expression was slightly more normal.
Wei Ming continued: "I don't forget the melamine incident, it was then that the dairy industry began to widely realize that low-quality crop straw could not produce high-quality milk products, and even low-quality pasture grass could not. High-quality forage grasses such as alfalfa and whole-plant corn silage are the fundamental way to improve quality and efficiency and develop the milk industry. ”
"At present, more than 90 percent of our high-yielding dairy cows are fed alfalfa and whole-plant corn silage, and alfalfa is our alfalfa from Jiagu, well, although some of it needs to be imported from our American farms. ”
Out of professional habits, Wu Lei immediately recorded these data.
Wei Ming glanced at it, didn't stop it, and continued: "However, planting grass in the desert, grass products are not what I value the most. ”
Facing Wu Lei's puzzled eyes, Wei Ming smiled before giving the answer: "What is the most important thing in desert oasis? The new alfalfa can be a huge help in 'turning sand into soil', which is why we started to grow grass in most of the area. ”
Wu Lei's eyes lit up.
But Wei Ming didn't do what he wanted, and changed his words: "But it's actually not bad to grow grass for a long time." ”
"Did you know that nature has given mankind two treasures, one is leguminous pasture, and the other is ruminant livestock. The former can produce abundant protein, while the latter can convert plant fibers that cannot be directly absorbed and utilized by humans into animal protein through the rumen, a natural fermenter. Therefore, there is no need to use a large number of grains with low protein content to convert animal protein. ”
"If the high-quality alfalfa production belt in the northwest with the Alashan Desert area as the core can be formed, it is expected to change the main production mode of raising monogastric animals at the expense of grain production and crop straw and other agricultural and sideline products as the main food for herbivores and consumption of grain, and transform to a 'grain and grass' agriculture, and the national food security and sustainable development can be more guaranteed......
Wu Lei looked at Wei Ming's eager gaze and was speechless for a long time.
What he originally meant was that Jiagu worked hard to control the sand to grow grass and was not afraid of losing money, but when he heard other people's plans, he couldn't say this.
Everyone in the world knows that it is difficult to control sand, but they don't know that Jiagu intends to play with it.
This heart, others are not convinced, he Xiaowu is capitalized!
