Chapter 643: Coming to the Ranch

With the completion of the expansion of the third phase of the farm, the farm has expanded from the original scale of 10,000 mu to nearly 40,000 mu today. Coupled with the four phases of the project being planned, the scale of the farm will undoubtedly get bigger and bigger.

At present, there is still undeveloped mountain woodland around the farm, and many people want to get involved. However, due to the existence of heirloom farms, these mountain woodlands have so far only been placed here, and will not be developed until the right time.

Although many people are unwilling, they feel that such a piece of fat is somewhat unreasonable for Zhuang Haiyang to swallow alone. But after the outbreak of the New Zealand Marine Ranch incident, many people know that Zhuang Haiyang is not simple.

The rest of these mountain and forest land can be leased to other people, which can certainly increase a lot of land lease money and even favors. But who can guarantee that this practice will not provoke protests from Zhuang Haiyang? Without the heirloom farm, these mountain woodlands would still be wasteland.

Most importantly, the economic benefits brought by the development and fame of the heirloom farm have been continuously reflected. Everyone understands that without the signboard of the heirloom farm, the current situation of Baoling is likely to come to naught.

Secondly, many people want to get the good things that are not sold to the outside world but only given away. And this kind of thing, maybe they can get raw materials, but it may not have the effect that Zhuang Haiyang gave away.

Those who are eligible to receive gifts will naturally help Zhuang Haiyang solve some troubles. Perhaps, this is the so-called exchange of gifts!

After playing in the playground with his wife and children for half a day, Zhuang Haiyang, who returned from Sanyang, will also rest on the farm for two to three days according to the itinerary. After returning to the farm, Zhuang Haiyang quickly drove to the reservoir where the water had been impounded.

Although the area of this reservoir is not too large, it is undoubtedly the largest in Baoling. Even with the completion of the storage of water in the reservoir, the Baoling government has considered using it as a tap water intake point.

It's just that this kind of suggestion was quickly rejected by Zhuang Haiyang. The reason is simple: next to the reservoir is the poultry breeding center, and the reservoir is also stocked with ducks and geese. It's a bit inappropriate to treat such water as tap water.

Looking at the turquoise water, Zhuang Haiyang, who was standing on the edge of the reservoir, also said happily: "Yes! This water is full, and it looks different." By the way, all the freshwater fry have been invested, right?"

When the reservoir was halfway impounded, we purchased a lot of high-quality freshwater fry from other places and put them all in. Now it seems that these fry are living quite well. ”

In the future, if you fish in an orderly manner, you may not need to put any more fry. If you raise it for a few more years, I believe that the freshwater fish caught in our reservoir will also become a new signboard for the farm. ”

"Well, we're looking forward to that!"

"By the way, although the reservoir can be used to raise poultry. But in terms of scale, it must be in moderation, and do not cause water pollution. When there are more geese and ducks, remember to let the monitoring team conduct periodic testing of water quality. ”

"Understood!"

Unlike other villages and towns that bring in tap water, the entire farm is supplied with groundwater. In the case of domestic sewage, it will be discharged after pollution-free treatment, and it will not cause pollution to the environment.

And the groundwater resources on the farm seem to be more abundant than many people think. As a result, the reservoir was built more for the supporting equipment of the poultry breeding center. Occasionally, it is used as agricultural water for farms.

Standing on the edge of the reservoir, looking at the groups of fish that are not heavy from time to time, Zhuang Haiyang, who observes through the spiritual power, also knows that the stocked fish fry are living well. Even, the quality of these freshwater fish will be beyond imagination in the future.

The longer you keep them, the more nutritious and meaty these freshwater fish will become!

Zhuang Haiyang, who has seen the reservoir, also came to the poultry center where breeding has begun. The first thing to look at is the farm that breeds local pigs. It's just that the local pigs that are currently being bred are wandering and foraging in the pine forest not far away.

The person in charge of the breeding center who accompanied the inspection also introduced the breeding situation of these local pigs to Zhuang Haiyang. When he heard that this kind of captivity and stocking were combined, and the local pigs were also growing gratifyingly, Zhuang Haiyang was naturally happy.

But he still said: "This is our breeding center, the first batch of local pigs, as long as we ensure that they can be slaughtered at the end of the year." There is no need to be in a hurry to slaughter, and it doesn't matter if you raise it for an extra month or two. ”

"Well, it's just that the local pigs have entered the fattening stage, and we also plan to raise another batch of piglets, and strive to start next year, so that we can slaughter a batch in half a year. The sows we breed should be able to give birth after a while. ”

"That's good! In the first year, we just need to learn from the experience and make sure that the quality of the poultry that comes out of the slaughter meets the requirements I made earlier. In the later stage, it is best to breed all the livestock raised by the breeding center itself.

Hundreds of acres of plantations next to it are also supporting plantations as breeding centers. Crops such as sweet potatoes can also provide a lot of organic feed for poultry. If you need to fatten, you have to use crops grown on the farm, understand?"

"Understood!"

Established more than three years ago, the heirloom farm has fulfilled the promise of 'heirloom products, must be high-quality'. All the ingredients and crops sold on the farm are of high quality or top quality.

At present, the feed used by the poultry center is also supplied from the farm's plantation. It can be said that these poultry grew up eating top-notch pollution-free vegetables from childhood to adulthood. Its quality, naturally, will not be bad there.

If nothing else, once these poultry that are being raised and grown meet the slaughter standards, then those restaurants under Zhuang Haiyang will also benefit. In terms of meat supply, it can also be truly self-sufficient.

If the effect is good, it may not be ruled out that it will continue to expand in the future. But in a short period of time, other restaurants are estimated to be only red-eyed. As far as the current scale of breeding is concerned, it is estimated that it may not be enough to supply its own restaurant!

Even if these poultry have not been raised for a long time, but from the growth of these poultry, it is still relatively gratifying. The most satisfying thing for Zhuang Haiyang is that he walks in the poultry breeding center and does not smell too many offensive odors.

This also shows that he previously required the breeding center to do a good job of sanitation and cleaning, and the employees also implemented it well. The manure excreted by these poultry can also be used as organic fertilizer for orchards after treatment.

After walking around, he came to Zhuang Haiyang by the reservoir again, and said with a smile: "Wait for another half a year, and we will be able to come to the reservoir to fish in the future." I also save every time I go to the fish pond of the two of you and catch the fish in your pond. ”

"Yes! Without the patronage of you bandits, Lao Wang's fish pond and I estimate that we can make a lot of money by selling fish every year!"

Hong Wei, who answered the phone, also knew that Zhuang Haiyang was making fun of himself. But in fact, the farm leased by the two of them has a pond several acres in size. The freshwater fish stocked in it are also very popular with some tourists who come to relax and play.

In addition to fishing for leisure, you can also eat the fish you caught, and the taste is very good. Of course, with this kind of fishing and fishing, the two families can make a lot more money than others when they receive tourists every year!

At least for now, the larger pond at the resort has become a favorite among many tourists. If you want to eat fish, not only do you have to catch it yourself, but you also have to pay for the fish you catch.

But many tourists love this, and only eat the freshwater fish they catch. In their opinion, eating the fish they have caught may be more fulfilling. Moreover, the taste of these freshwater fish is no worse than that of seafood.

After looking at the breeding center and the reservoir, Zhuang Haiyang, who still had time, went to the ranch to take a look. Although there are still only cattle and sheep raised on the pasture, there are really a lot of cattle and sheep in the pasture today.

Among them, the smallest number of dairy cows, which provide fresh milk every day, has also become the favorite of many children and even the elderly. Many tourists who come to the farm for leisure and vacation, after tasting this fresh milk, also feel that the taste is very pure and very good.

It's just that this kind of pure milk is really not sold to the outside world. If you want to drink, you can only stay at the farm, and then book in advance. Otherwise, there is not much pure milk, and you may not be able to drink it if you have money.

Although the ranch also considered whether to raise some lambs that could produce milk, it was ultimately rejected. The breeding of meat sheep can basically ensure that a batch is produced in two months. Depending on the time of breeding, they are stocked in batches on pastures.

In the case of scalpers, there are two batches, large and small. Basically, one batch can be slaughtered, and the second batch will also enter the fattening period. In this way, it can also ensure that every six months, a batch of scalpers can be introduced to the market.

Looking at the group of scalpers that will be slaughtered soon, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said: "This batch of scalpers will be available for sale in another month, right?"

In fact, there are now some scalpers whose weight has reached the slaughter standard. Just to ensure that there is enough growth period, raise it for an extra month, and the quality of the slaughtered beef may be better. ”

"Then it's okay to raise it for an extra month! Although those buyers are all waiting. But we can't do anything to smash the signboard. After these cattle are sold, the scale of the pasture will be extended to a thousand acres of grassland!"

"Really? In this case, can we expand the scale of the next batch of breeding?"

"Of course! Pastures are different from plantations and orchards, as long as the woodland is leveled out and planted with good pasture. When the grass enters the harvest period, it can basically be grazed normally. ”

"Well, do you want to continue to expand along the edge of the ranch like the previous time?"

"Yes, by the way, I heard that there are a lot of wild animals found in the mountains and forests near the ranch, right?"

Remembering the situation told by the security team before, Zhuang Haiyang also asked in a timely manner. In order to ensure that the ecology around the ranch is not affected, the mountain woodland near the ranch and Zhuang Haiyang will naturally not do much damage.

Perhaps due to the influence of underground water veins, the number of wild animals in the undeveloped mountain woodlands around the pasture has also increased. The most surprising thing for Zhuang Haiyang is that there are still some fierce beasts that haunt from time to time.

Of course, these beasts are now national first-class protected animals. Their appearance does bring certain safety hazards to the ranch. Thankfully, security measures around the ranch have been in place.

Hearing Zhuang Haiyang's inquiry, the person in charge of the ranch also nodded: "Indeed, with the expansion of the ranch to the outer mountains and woodlands, there are also many hares in the grasslands on our edge. Of course, what is really worth noting is that there are clouded leopards that have appeared. ”

"Coming for the sheep on our pasture?"

"Fortunately, we have barbed wire at the edge of our pasture, plus infrared monitoring probes. The two clouded leopards that appeared only hovered outside for a while, and then the security team appeared, and they quickly disappeared. ”

As the person in charge of the ranch introduced the relevant situation, similar to the appearance of hares, there are security team members occasionally hunting, and it is basically impossible to spread it. But the clouded leopard is a protected animal, and it is really tricky to break into the ranch.

Zhuang Haiyang, who thought of this, also quickly said: "Okay, I will mention this matter to the above and see how to deal with it." If nothing else, those large wild animals should have slipped out of the primeval forest.

It seems that the feng shui of our ranch has also attracted the patronage of these wild animals. Although it cannot be hunted, some precautions need to be taken. I really can't, apply for some tranquilizer guns at that time, and there won't be any accidents. ”

"Well, it's best to get in touch with the forest animal management department. ”

Before leaving the pasture, Zhuang Haiyang also deliberately walked around the edge of the pasture. It was found that there were indeed many holes dug by hares in the pasture. If left untreated, there is a real possibility of damage to the pasture.

After explaining to Hong Wei, the next step of the security team will also focus on preventing the infiltration of these hares. But when he turned his gaze to the woodlands bordering the jungle of the reserve, he was surprised by some of the animals he found.

Although no clouded leopards have been found, some rare wild animals under national key protection have also been found. To put it simply, they are all key protected wild animals in Nanzhou. Among them, the gibbon surprised Zhuang Haiyang.

"I really didn't expect that the ranch also attracted these great sages. Look at this frame, they should be eyeing the farm's orchard. ”

Know that the fruits grown on the farm, as well as the pastures of the pastures, are also very attractive to purely wild animals. The closer to the mountain woodland at the edge of the farm, the more likely it is to be affected.

The perception ability of animals is already very powerful. In fact, as the area of the farm continues to expand, some birds often appear in the tree-lined orchards. As for the beasts, perhaps because some people don't dare to get too close.

After some observation, Zhuang Haiyang found that the existence of the farm did attract many wild animals inhabiting the reserve. If you don't take precautions early, you may attract poachers.

Although monitoring equipment is installed around the farm, the undeveloped mountain woodland outside the farm is naturally not monitored by the security team in real time. This means that if a criminal learns about this, he or she will come and commit poaching.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Haiyang also felt that perhaps these wild animals should be given a chance to provide a suitable place for them to live and inhabit. However, they should not be allowed to affect the expansion and development of the farm!
