Chapter 127 Grain Crop Base

Tagawa thought carefully about the specific implementation methods of this plan, and felt more and more feasible. It is close to the highway in the north of the village, the transportation is convenient, as long as a deep well is drilled in the field, the problem of water source is solved, and the rest is easy to do, and the overall investment will not be too large.

As soon as he thought of it, he began to plan the project to be built on this land.

First of all, the land as a whole should be built into a garden-like plantation, with beautiful scenery and priority to meet the needs of tourists.

Secondly, it will be the main stop for customers during the tourist picking, and it will be necessary to build some functional buildings, such as restaurants, specialty shops, as well as public restrooms, public telephone booths, etc., and if possible, consider building some accommodation to provide tourists with farmhouse accommodation services.

Third, it is necessary to coordinate the relationship with the major greenhouses and incorporate the greenhouses into the scope of overall beautification.

Fourth, it is necessary to make a good plan for the cultivation of various cash crops, take into account both aesthetics and economic benefits, and strive to achieve self-sufficiency.

After thinking about it, Tian Chuan dialed Wang Dayong's phone and told him this idea again. Wang Dayong is worried about this piece of land in Beigang, and now it has entered September, and after the autumn harvest in another month, a clear plan will be given for the disposal of land, and the land must not be left idle. Tian Chuan's phone call was like timely rain, which made his heart brighten up.

Wang Dayong's opinion was to let Tian Chuan contract the land and personally operate the construction of this tourist park. Tian Chuan did not agree: "Uncle Dayong, this matter still has to be done by the village." On the one hand, I don't have the energy to organize the land cultivation of the cooperative. On the other hand, this tourist park is the further development direction of picking tourism in the village, and it is not suitable for me, an outsider, to do it. Don't worry, if there are any difficulties in the process, I will not stand idly by. ”

Wang Dayong said: "There is still some money in the village for the time being, and it should be enough to invest in this tourist park as an upfront cost." After having some income, the follow-up project will be gradually carried out, and there should be no problem. Tian Chuan also promised to help them find a professional landscape design company to design the land and make the effect better.

The land in the village is mainly located in the south of the village and the east of the village, there is a large irrigation canal in the west of the village, which separates the land from the neighboring villages, and there is basically no arable land, and the north of the village is the more than 100 acres of land here in Beigang. The west side of Beigang is adjacent to the irrigation canal, and the east side is a saline-alkali land, which is between Beigang and Qinglong River. This saline-alkali land has more than 80 acres, which was left by taking soil and raising the embankment of the Qinglong River during a major flood 30 years ago. Every summer, when there is a lot of rain, there will be some stagnant water, and once the rainy season passes, the surface of the land will be weathered into powder, white flowers. The village has tried to transform the land, but several times have been unsuccessful. This time the agricultural cooperative was formed, and the village also classified this saline-alkali land as the cooperative, but it was not included in the area of 820 acres of arable land. The original intention of the village was for Tagawa to build a house on this saline land, so that he would not have to occupy arable land, but the road to the other fields from here to the village was not too convenient. Tagawa couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he put aside the construction of this land for the time being.

The first thing to be done now is the cultivation of the 820 acres of land. On the one hand, it is necessary to determine how much wheat to be planted, and at the same time, it is necessary to redefine the cultivation methods. Without the use of pesticides and fertilizers, there is a need for solutions to fertility and pests and diseases. Especially when the seeds are just planted, the mole crickets will eat most of the wheat seeds, resulting in a large reduction in wheat yield.

After the floods this year, most of the land in the village did not have a maize harvest, and some families replanted beans in the fields, and some of them were able to harvest somewhat. However, these beans will mature much later than normal because they have missed the agricultural season. Now it comes to the question of when the land will be handed over to Tagawa – some families are reluctant to deliver the land before the beans in the field are ripe.

Wheat needs to be sown before the frost falls on October 23, even if it is delayed, it cannot be postponed for more than five days, otherwise the wheat seedlings will not be able to reach the tillering height before the freeze, which will affect the number of tillers in the next year and seriously affect the yield.

Since he did not plan to use pesticides, Tagawa's basic consideration was to sow seeds before and after frost fall, and to delay sowing to minimize the damage of pests to wheat seeds. But even so, if farmers fail to hand over their land on October 18, it will affect wheat planting.

His last resort was to negotiate with the villagers who were unwilling to hand over the land on time, and his reasons were very good: If you still grow this season's wheat yourself, will you ignore the sowing of wheat and wait for the beans to ripen before harvesting? Many people finally agreed to hand over the land on October 18. Tian Chuan later promised to give 100 yuan per mu of compensation to beans that could not be ripe by then, and finally reached a consensus with everyone.

This year, the soil moisture is good, which is conducive to the sowing of winter wheat. Through Mr. Zhong Jiahong, Tian Chuan invited another associate professor from the Department of Agronomy, who is good at field planting, to help determine the planting process. The associate professor's name is Liu Fengying, an old lady in her fifties who has been engaged in research on northern field cultivation all her life. Professor Liu was a little embarrassed about Tian Chuan's requirements for green planting: if he did not use highly toxic pesticides to dress seeds, it would be difficult to avoid the problem of mole crickets eating seeds.

Later, at the suggestion of Mr. Zhong, Tian Chuan found Professor Xing Lisheng from the biology department of the school. Professor Xing, an expert on insects and farmland pests, proposed that insect traps and insect hormones could be used to trap and kill pests after the land was cleared.

Tagawa's breeding base has been using insect traps to feed chickens and fish, and the catch in one summer was very large, far exceeding Tagawa's expectations. Professor Xing's proposal made Tian Chuan very satisfied, and he asked Professor Xing to help him formulate an overall pest control plan for the field, and provided more than 300,000 yuan for the research fund. Professor Xing happily accepted the project.

Tian Chuan asked Mr. Zhong to sample and test the soil ready to plant green crops, and the results showed that due to the flooding this year, the amount of pesticide residues in the land has decreased a lot, which is close to the basic requirements of green planting. If you insist on not using pesticides for another year next year, it is possible to meet the international standard of green planting. Tagawa is very happy, and this can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

Tianjia Village is located between the irrigation canal and the Qinglong River, and the land and the outside world form a natural closed environment, which is very conducive to the cultivation of green agricultural products, which is a unique advantage.

The land of Tagawa's cooperative is flanked by two rivers on the east and west, Tianjia Village and 80 acres of saline-alkali land on the north side, and Shilicheng Village on the south side. It is basically a rectangle with a corner missing. He plans to isolate a 30-meter-wide buffer zone adjacent to the land of Shilicheng Village to prevent the impact of pesticides on the land of Shilicheng. A five-metre-wide channel was excavated on the outside of the divider for further isolation.

This year he plans to plant 600 acres of wheat, with the remaining 220 acres including more than 20 acres as a buffer zone and 200 acres reserved for planting some beans and other cereals next spring.

Tagawa has informed the members of the news of planting green crops in the field in advance, and asked the members to put forward their opinions and intentions, and everyone is very positive about this, and the discussion is very lively, and many useful suggestions have been put forward. Many people said they were looking forward to the launch of the new flour.

In order to meet the needs of production, Tagawa finally decided to start building warehouses and office buildings in the saline land, close to the village. It still continues the characteristics of temporary construction of color steel. He reached a cooperation agreement with Wang Dayong's nephew, Wang Tiezhu, to rent Wang Tiezhu's agricultural machinery to operate it when the farm was busy. Wang Tiezhu's agricultural machinery is mostly small machines, and sometimes it cannot meet the needs, so he can only buy or rent large and medium-sized agricultural machinery.

Before the end of September, Professor Xing's first research result was born. This is a device that uses insect hormones and insect attractants to trap mole crickets, which was jointly developed by Professor Xing and a machinery company. In addition to mole crickets, it can also trap and kill other common insect pests, such as locusts, corn borers, beetles, etc.

Tagawa placed this compound insect insect-attracting lamp on the land that was about to be transferred to his own cultivation and caught a large number of pests. Due to the floods, a lot of pests have been drowned this year, and the number of insects caught by the insect trap lamp is about 2 to 3 kilograms per night, mainly moths and locusts, and there are not too many beetles and mole crickets.

In order to plant the more than 800 acres of land, Tian Chuan called his uncle Tian Jianyu, who worked in the Shuanghe cotton experimental field, back. Tian Jianyu has been working in the cotton experimental field for more than half a year, and he has only come back twice in the middle, which is too hard. Tian Jianyu has shown extraordinary talent in the management of experimental fields, and with only a junior high school education, he not only managed the Shuanghe experimental fields very standardly, but also made great contributions to the construction of experimental fields in Xinjiang Province, Hunan Province and Hainan Province. His position is already the deputy director of the experimental field department of the R&D center, with a monthly salary of more than 6,000 yuan, plus the overtime pay brought by long-term overtime, and the allowance for overseas stays, as well as the subsidy for frequent business trips, the actual after-tax income is more than 10,000 yuan, which is far higher than other people in the village who work for Tian Chuan. At that time, there were few foreign executives who could get such a high income.

Tian Chuan transferred Tian Jianyu back, on the one hand, he hoped that he could help him straighten out the work of green planting in the field, and on the other hand, he also wanted to let him have a good rest before the cotton picking season arrived.

Tian Jianyu lived up to expectations, quickly assessed the workload of field planting, determined the number of workers needed, and recruited workers in the village. One month before the land was taken over, the newly recruited workers were trained, and the new workers were sent to the vegetable base and cotton experimental field in batches for internship, so that everyone could be familiar with the operating characteristics and daily work requirements of standardized agriculture.

At the same time, Tian Jianyu and Qi Ligang cooperated to establish a traceability record system for green field planting, and began to record the land before it was received.

Tian Chuan has already negotiated with Tian Jianyu, Professor Liu Fengying and Professor Zhong Jiahong, and with the development of the first batch of planting, the standardized operation specifications for green planting in the field have been gradually compiled.
