Spring rain is as expensive as oil!

Seeing that the employees in the Jiagu orchard planting base were not in a hurry to avoid the rain, Professor Guo knew that Jiagu was really as rumored, and never fought uncertain battles.

He couldn't help but glance at his students and assistants vaguely, asking you to collect weather information, can you still pay attention?

Professor Guo's assistants are inexplicably aggrieved, aren't they? This meteorological observatory is not accurate, who do they turn to reason?

Qi someone: "Hmm......"

"Five Bucket Cloud Rain Array (Fourth Order) trigger, main water system, range: 1,000 kilometers in radius. Effect: Gather clouds and dissolve rain. It can make the water airflow and turn wind and clouds into rain. ”

It's really not just about the rain for the sake of drought this time.

The beginning of spring is really hammered, and this year is a year with abnormal weather. Immediately after the drought in the southwest, there were rare signs of early flooding in the south of the Yangtze River - the rainy season arrived before the rainy season.

Especially in the central and northern part of Jiangyou Province, there was continuous heavy rain to heavy rain, and the precipitation was abnormally high, and the water level of the five major rivers and Poyang Lake rose rapidly.

Is this worth it?

Jiagu's rice planting bases are all over these areas, and if the rainy weather continues to be affected, this year's spring sowing and seedling growth will be significantly affected, which will seriously affect rice production.

At this time, North China was as mildly dry as ever.

——The country is big, there is depth and fire.

It is necessary to ask Qi Zheng to "rob the poor and help the rich".

The heavy rainfall in the south of the Yangtze River will be "shifted" to moisten the arid zone of North China, including the Bashang area.

Chicheng County is only a "pioneer", so the meteorological observatory did not predict it, but it was not as good as the Jiagu Meteorological Department, which "mastered" the first-hand information.

......

The light rain didn't last long, but it was enough to soak up enough moisture in the land. The freshly planted fruit tree seedlings have been baptized by the rain, and they are even more vigorous.

The technical instructors led the staff to seize the opportunity of the wet land and quickly put into a new round of fruit tree planting.

Professor Guo, an ecologist and botanist, pretended to be calm, avoided the topic of water scarcity, and continued to inspect whether the cultivation of fruit trees in Jiagu was in line with ecological principles.

And in the process, he discovered an interesting phenomenon - these fruit farmers are more enthusiastic about learning than they imagined!

When they plant fruit trees, they really don't simply dig a pit and bury them, but do a perfect job in fertilizing, cultivating the soil, and pruning the direction.

The technicians patiently explained and guided the operation, and the fruit farmers were often seen around them, and these fruit farmers who were twenty or thirty years old and forty or fifty years old were as serious as a primary school student at this moment.

"This ...... How did you do that?" Professor Guo was really surprised.

If it is a farmer's own orchard, it makes sense for them to maintain this enthusiasm for learning, but this hill is an orchard that belongs to Jiagu alone.

Cheng Qiyuan pushed his glasses, coughed lightly, and said: "Actually, it's very simple, we have set a completion award, and according to their planting progress, you can get different degrees of bonuses." Of course, this completion indicator is mainly based on the survival rate of fruit trees. Don't they have to study hard for the sake of a huge bonus?"

No matter where you are, the magic of money should not be underestimated.

Especially these farmers who are struggling with the low-income line, their thirst for money is endless.

It can be said that after Jiagu sacrificed the stick of money, the "finger-pointing" technicians became the most popular group of fruit growers - no one should stop me, I want to learn!

Professor Guo was stunned, this ...... It's really simple and crude.

But he still finds it difficult to understand: "Is it necessary to increase labor costs in order to speed up the progress a little?"

Cheng Qiyuan shook his head and said softly: "Actually, speeding up the progress is only one aspect. Our goal is to change their planting concept and cultivate a group of modern fruit growers with complete knowledge of fruit tree planting and management......"

With such a large-scale orchard in Jiagu, it is destined not to rely solely on laboratory technicians. Front-line fruit farmers must at least have certain planting management skills, and the more perfect the skills, the more popular they are.

Even if it costs millions of dollars more than that, it can cultivate a group of fruit farmers who are actively learning, which can definitely be regarded as earning for Jiagu.

Prof. Guo was amazed at Jiagu's large investment in staff skills training, but he also took it for granted that the more complete the knowledge system of front-line growers, the more they could avoid losses such as pests and diseases for the orchard at critical moments, which would be enough to offset the investment in the long run, not to mention the invisible effect of this on product quality.

In particular, yellow peaches are a fruit variety with high cultivation requirements and troublesome management.

In order to verify the effect of Jiagu's motivational learning, Professor Chen pulled a fruit farmer for an exchange.

What was pulled by him was Feng Yong, who resigned from the capital and returned to his hometown and joined Jiagu as he wished.

"Have you ever planted fruit trees before?"

"Nope. In the past, corn and other crops were planted at most, but the drought and lack of water in the mountainous areas here, and growing fruits was basically gambling......"

"Do you think Kagu's technical guidance is useful?"

Feng Yong kicked the mud on the soles of his shoes, and a bright smile appeared on his face: "It's very useful!"

"You see, in just half a month, I have learned to prune the yellow peach with long branches and overly dense branches, especially for the young trees now, how to leave the main trunk, keep enough side branches, leave the branches step by step, and remove the excess branches. ”

"I learned that the main disease of yellow peaches is peach anthracnose, in addition to pruning the diseased fruit and branches in time, I also learned to prepare a sterilization solution, and at the same time, for those sick or damaged branches, we should take them out of the orchard to avoid the source of infection with each other. ”

"I also learned how to apply custom-formulated organic fertilizer to increase soil organic matter ...... the application of fertilizer depends on the growth of fruit trees."

Feng Yong's eyebrows fluttered as he spoke.

He is in a really good mood! Because he is hardworking and willing to work hard, and he studies seriously, the survival rate of the fruit trees he planted is also the highest, and this month, it is estimated that the bonus he will receive is higher than the salary.

In the past, he could only go out to work, not to mention leaving his hometown, and his salary was not high. Now, he not only has a stable income at his doorstep, but also can continue to learn planting skills, which makes him more competitive in the company and more confident in life.

Moreover, in the fulfilling study, watching these yellow peaches from small saplings to blossom and bear fruit, it is too fulfilling.

Professor Guo looked at Feng Yong, who was sweating profusely but full of energy, and couldn't hide his inner support for Jiagu, and was a little speechless for a while.

Looking into the distance, the sky on the dam after the rain is high and the clouds are light, the barren mountains and bald mountains in the past are now vibrant, and the orchard construction is in full swing.

There is a good saying that it is better to give money and food than to attract rich industries.

With the help of "Tianshi" and the "people" together, he seems to have seen that this place will become a beautiful picture of green industry flowers blooming, fruits hanging branches, and greenery everywhere!
