Chen Song took Goble and Rhein to drill the grove not for fun, but to measure the scale of the forest, check the growth of saplings, and make an accurate estimate of the future expansion rate of the forest.

He set aside a piece of land for the woods, and planned to find a rainforest and bring some humus to transport it so that the pine and oak trees could grow better.

The rest of the land was about to be zoned for pasture, and after the plan was laid out, Gabler began to work, Chen Song bought forage seeds through Jing Wei, and at Rhine's suggestion, he chose four grasses: alfalfa, Mexican corn grass, chicory grass, and satawang.

Alfalfa is known as the king of forage, before the No. 3 manor is mainly planted with them, the grass not only has a high yield, but also excellent grass quality, has high nutritional value, rich in crude protein, which is rich in vitamins and inorganic salts, amino acids in protein are relatively complete, and the amino acid content of animals must be high.

The most important thing is that it has good palatability, and all kinds of livestock and poultry can eat it, which is a panacea.

Mexican corn grass is actually a type of corn, but it does not produce high-quality corn cobs, and it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that it is grass, because it can grow to two or three meters tall, and it is a very good green fodder.

In addition, in addition to feeding cattle and sheep when it is fresh, corn straw can also be made into hay for livestock to survive the winter.

Satawang is good at growing on barren land, and Chen Song can't spread a layer of soil on the entire western estate, so he needs barren-tolerant pasture varieties.

Finally, chicory grass, which is another very domineering pasture, is a perennial herbaceous plant that can be harvested for 20 years at a time, which is more powerful than leeks.

Iceland does not call it a leek, but a chicory, which can cut up to eight stubbles a year, which is really a spring breeze.

Moreover, chicory grass can naturally overwinter at minus 30 °C, germinate again in early spring and March, and the regeneration is strong, and the yield of fresh grass per mu can reach 40,000 or 50,000 catties, and Rhine is full of praise for it.

When the grass seed arrived, Goble began to work on the western estate with a rotary tiller, and he had to re-cultivate the land.

In this way, Brother Dao and the bench dogs are busy, and after many years of desertion, there are countless mouse holes and rabbit holes hidden under the grassland, and the machine is plunged into the ground, and many mice and rabbits run out!

Chen Song left a message on the WWOOF website: Ask for a Chinese Sichuan-Chongqing person, who has been a chef is better, has a relaxed job, has three full meals, and guarantees spicy rabbit head and rabbit meat hot pot every day.

He brought the Crane with him, and the four big birds could catch mice, and he arranged for them to catch mice.

The sand hill cranes are very happy, they occupy the woods as territory, catch mice and throw them into the woods, these days they have eaten a lot of fat, and they can't fly.

Opening a pasture is not simple, Rhine called his father Olakafor, and the two divided it into five pasture areas according to the soil conditions, and the cattle and sheep will be grazed in rotation in the future, and they cannot graze freely.

After Olakafu came to see it, he said to Chen Song, "Hey, Vince, you don't have a tractor here." ”

Chen Song said: "Yes, I have a big pickup truck. ”

Olakafor shook his head and said, "Let's be honest, man, that's not enough, you know what I mean, right? Ford F150s are not enough, I suggest you either get an F450 or you get a tractor." ”

"Buy a tractor. "Tractors are more cost-effective, and when the time comes, a second-hand trailer will be enough for your ranch." ”

Chen Song snapped his fingers and said, "Then buy a tractor." ”

"And ATVs, you need an ATV too. ”

An ATV is an ATV, a large car with four large wheels and no protective case.

"Why are you buying this?" asked Chen Song.

Olakafor looked at him in amazement and said, "Vince, what do you know about the ranch?

Rhine smiled and said: "Yes, he doesn't understand anything, he just wants to engage in ranching." ”

Olakafor also laughed: "That's a joke, Vince, it's not fun to start a ranch, you better think about it." ”

Chen Song said: "I don't have to think about it, this land is to be used for pastures, I don't think I need to know too many things, as long as I understand that I have money." ”

The father and son stopped laughing: "I don't understand the world of rich people." "It's really capricious. ”

The value of ATV is to patrol the pasture, because the grass in the pasture has to be protected, the ATV tires are very wide, the weight of the vehicle is small, and the damage to the grass is also small.

In this way, Chen Song embarked on the journey to Selfoss.

But this time he didn't need to go to Selfoss to buy something, and Olakafu called him halfway through: "Vinnce, you don't have to go that far, I contacted a guy who is not going to do the ranch, he has a machine to deal with, a tractor, a trailer, an ATV, if you want to buy his haymaker and so on, he has a whole set of things." ”

"So where is his ranch?"

"In the town of Caspian Sea. ”

The town of Lehigh is also a small town in the southern district, located a little further north, with the landmark being Lake Soris.

Lake Solis is the second largest of the Great Lakes in Iceland, with a total area of 70 square kilometers, about 120 kilometers northeast of the town of Liuying.

And how far is the town of Liuying from Selfoss? less than eighty kilometers!

Another point is that the No. 1 highway that connects Liuying Town and Selfoss is flat and wide, and Liuying Town has to take a small road to Caspian Town, and the 120-kilometer road has to be driven for at least an hour and a half!

But Chen Song, the resource introduced by his friend, was embarrassed not to take a look, so he had to turn around halfway and drive to Lehai Town.

On the way, he saw the spring scenery in the southern area, Chen Song saw the reindeer, a big deer with a body length of two meters leisurely wandering in the wasteland, nibbling when he touched the grass, and drinking a sip when he touched the water, he was very hot to see.

A person is not as comfortable as a deer.

Less than five minutes after he had this thought, the car drove some more way and came across a sparse pine forest, and then a large deer ran out of the pine forest in a panic.

Chen Song reacted quickly and hurriedly stepped on the brakes, but the unlucky Rhine was not wearing a seat belt and was thrown directly onto the driver's platform: "Shit, I'm out of breath! My ribs are broken!"

The reindeer staggered, barely ran a few steps on the road, and finally fell to the ground with a wail.

At this moment four or five figures, half of them with guns, appeared at the edge of the woods, and they chased the reindeer out of the woods, and when they saw the pickup truck, they hesitated and stood on the side of the road to look at them.

Chen Song subconsciously gasped and said, ", did you encounter a reindeer poacher?"

Reindeer are not indigenous to Iceland, Iceland originally only had the arctic fox mammal, the reindeer were introduced later, but they are very adaptable to the local environment, the population has expanded rapidly, and now the northeastern region is their paradise.

Reindeer hunting is allowed, but there are seasonal restrictions and permits are required, and in the spring, reindeer are busy breeding and breeding, so they cannot hunt at this time, so Chen Song judged that several people were poaching.
