Chapter 103: Harvesting the Grass

The entire barn is controlled by a computer, such as the temperature change in each room, the use of air conditioning, the cleaning of each cow, etc., which are controlled by a special computer. For example, if the temperature of any room is high, the computer will immediately make corresponding adjustments to ensure that each cow can have the most comfortable environment, which greatly saves costs and can also find out the situation of each cow more efficiently.

The ranch is now equipped with special management software, and every cow is monitored by cameras and computers for its every move, and this cowshed is no exception, as long as there is an accident, the cowboys can immediately find out and make the right decisions in time.

After a general visit to the cowshed, Jinyang came out, although the cowshed is not as dirty as imagined, but after all, the smell of some livestock is inevitable, if it is not necessary, I think even the cattle themselves are not willing to stay longer.

The next day, Jinyang got up early in the morning, and today the pasture was harvested, Jinyang had only heard of the high degree of mechanization of the American emperor before, but he had never seen how to harvest the grass, so he was very curious and planned to take a good look today.

It is impossible to harvest all the grass in the pasture, only a part of it can be harvested, and a large part must be left for those free-range cattle and sheep, but the bauhinia pasture is very large, and the current pasture is very fat, so even if only a small part is harvested, that amount is very considerable.

Today, the grass is harvested on the west side of the pasture, and there is a large pasture on this side, and the grass grows very vigorously. The grasses in the Redbud Ranch are mainly alfalfa and ryegrass, both of which are excellent varieties and are very common in Montana.

It's September now, and the flowering period has long passed, if the alfalfa blooms in May-August, the small purple flowers in the pasture flutter in the wind, which looks very spectacular, and has the feeling of being in a sea of flowers.

But now there is another taste, the blue sky, the white clouds, the green grass is endless, it is really in response to the sentence "the sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep." "It's a grassland scene.

The pasture grass in the pasture is now growing particularly prosperous and fat, almost twice as large as the grass in the general pasture, and people walk in the grass to feel like they are in the bushes, and there are many grasshoppers and other insects in the grass.

Jinyang usually activities are in the living area, go out are also driving cars, not very felt, this time specifically to the grassland, walking in the grass feel that there are a lot of insects, as if there are snakes, ordinary people do not wear high leather boots are absolutely not afraid to walk here for a long time, because no one knows whether you will be bitten by something fatal.

At this time, the cowboys are already preparing to harvest the grass, one by one are checking the mechanical equipment, six or seven meters of large lawn mowers, directly dragged over by large tractors, John is carefully checking to see if there is a fault, this is a necessary measure to ensure safety, seeing Jinyang coming, John put down the work in his hand and walked over, said with a smile: "Boss, you came very early today, why don't you sleep for a while? Mowing grass is not an easy job." ”

"Ahem, how can I say that I am also the owner of this ranch, of course I have to personally participate in such a major event as cutting grass. I don't think you all harvest with machinery, will this be very tiring?" Jin Yang asked with some confusion.

"Boss, this big guy is not as easy to fiddle with as you think, oh God, you can't imagine how hard it is to start this big guy, the cockpit is a stuffy jar, and it is not easy to control, although it will be much better after getting used to it, but the grass harvested in our pasture is not a little, I estimate that it may take a week, or even more. John pointed to the large lawn mower with an exaggerated expression.

"Why is that? This big guy must be very capable, right, does it take so long? How much grass has to be harvested? Jin Yang exclaimed.

"Because we are short of manpower, we only have three large harvesters and one small one. Seriously, boss, I think this small lawn mower is for you, you see, in addition to you and me, there are only Joey and Dani here, just one person, it was really wise to buy this small harvester, boss, you can learn one more craft, you know, as a rancher, you can't drive a lawn mower. John put his hand on Jin Yang's shoulder and said with a smile.

"I said why did you buy a small one at the time, but fortunately you didn't let me drive a large one, it seems that you took good care of me. But I won't open even a small one, you have to be my teacher, I think that's what you're for, right? Jin Yang said helplessly.

Now the relationship between John and Jinyang is very good, the two are not like bosses and employees, but more like friends, and often make some jokes, John is a pure old cowboy, with a hearty and heroic personality, Jinyang also likes to deal with such people, and will not be so tired.

"Boss, I'm actually enjoying the thrill of lecturing, oh God, it's even more refreshing than drinking ale, and when you learn and learn well, I have a special sense of accomplishment, God, it's wonderful. John said with an intoxicated expression, but this was funny with his big beard and flushed face.

"Poof", looking at John like this, Jin Yang couldn't help but laugh and said: "Old John, when did you say that? Why didn't I find out before? God, you still tell this guy to stop being disgusting, or quickly teach me how to drive this damn lawnmower, no matter how I look at it, I don't think it's so easy to serve." ”

"Well, boss, since you strongly ask for it, I will teach you. So, you need to put on your safety gear first, especially the headphones, which are really noisy. I have checked this machine, and there is no problem, but if it is used again in the future, I must carefully check it before each use, such as: whether the cutter wheel and blade are sharp, whether there are cracks, whether the lubricating oil is added well, whether the various clearances are adjusted according to the regulations, and then idle for a few minutes before starting, to see if everything is normal......" John said endlessly while teaching Jinyang how to fiddle.

It didn't take long for the teaching to last, and Jin Yang asked for practice, and he felt that this thing didn't seem to be as difficult as he imagined. This small lawn mower is pulled by a small tractor, good guy, it doesn't look difficult, it's hard to do, especially this vibration, it didn't take long for Jinyang to feel that his whole body was numb, and this bump needless to say, he didn't spit it out, and he almost made a fool of himself when he fiddled with this thing for the first time with Jinyang's current physique, but it is conceivable that this job is not so easy.

After driving for more than an hour, Jin Yang felt that he really couldn't stand it, so he hurriedly came down to wipe his sweat, drank some space spring water to replenish his water, and by the way, he also asked John, Joey, and Dani to come over and drink some water and rest for a while.

"Boss, what kind of water are you? Why is it so delicious? God, what I used to drink was horse urine compared to this. Dani exclaimed, in the style of European and American women.

"Yes, I think the water in the pasture is very good, but it's really not comparable to this, God, is this the difference between us and the rich?" said Joey with an exaggerated expression.

"Hehe, it's nothing, the more money you spend, it has to have a different taste, right? Those profiteers can't just take money and not do anything. Jin Yang said jokingly, not noticing that he was the profiteer, and then went to the backpack he had to bring with him and took out a few peaches and handed them to the three of them, which provoked the three of them to start yelling at God again, saying that they had eaten garbage before, and this peach tasted wonderful and so on.
