(Thank you for your friend ぁぁぁ commuter pass encouragement)

After everyone's discussion, horse racing has been directly promoted from the third sequence to the first sequence, and there is also an additional racecourse on the future planning map of Xiangshui Town.

It's just that there are no design drawings for this racecourse yet, and it is only marked on the planning map, which cannot have a dynamic effect like other buildings.

And this new racecourse has not attracted everyone's attention, and now people are paying more attention to the animals in the pasture, large and small.

As we enter December, the temperature here drops quickly. Even if the bear children don't plan to sleep in the winter this year, they have become much lazy, and spend more time in the house.

As for their mother bear, it's really gone, and after the last time they walked away, there is no trace of them now. I don't know if it's a wandering bear, so I went for a walk in another area, and then found a random place to sleep.

Last winter, the whole pasture needed to be cared for in the greenhouse, but this year, before the real winter break, there is one more thing to do, and that is the vigorous pasture on the pasture, which needs to be harvested.

In the past, there were few cattle, few horses, and no sheep, but this year is different, after those fattening cattle are locked in the fattening shed, their daily food demand almost scared Liu Heming.

Liu Heming estimates that the amount of grain needed by these cattle during the entire fattening period will reach two-thirds of the entire growing season of beef cattle. It's no wonder that the price of forage in winter is on the wings, and if you catch the snowstorm, you will ride a rocket, because these cows are too good to eat.

The cattle in their own pasture are still a little different from other people's houses, and other people's cattle will be fed some special fattening feed, and then fattened with other grains and pastures, and their own ones are purely self-produced.

So in order for these beef cattle to be able to squat well, these grasses have to be harvested and delivered to their mouths.

These grasses in the pasture are not ordinary grasses, they are the seeds drawn by the system's lottery, and they can also be said to be the forage seeds that are forced by the system.

In the past, Liu Heming didn't really care, because even if he wanted to come to the pasture, no matter how good the quality was, it was limited. At most, it is more palatable, and the animals in the ranch love to eat it anyway.

However, after actually harvesting these grasses today, he heard others tell him that the grasses planted in his pasture are more or less different from other people's grasses.

Most of other people's alfalfa grass is more than 30 centimeters, and some special varieties can reach a height of about one meter, but most of their own alfalfa grass is about one meter and five.

It wasn't very obvious before, because when he first planted it, he raised the seeds wherever they went, and he planted them very willfully, and now they have become a large area. In addition, everyone usually pays the most attention to the vegetables and various animals in the pasture, and even George and they ignore these alfalfa grasses.

An acre of alfalfa grass was harvested, and the total weight of this fresh grass reached 15.6 tons. Liu Heming didn't think there was anything wrong with this weight, because these alfalfa grasses were very tall, but they didn't see it that way when they came to watch the lively George.

"Dexter, these forage qualities of yours should be very good. Another acre was harvested, George said after the load-bearing was over.

"The normal annual output of alfalfa grass is more than 20 tons, and it will not exceed 30 tons at most, but you only harvest it once, and if you harvest it three times a year, I am afraid the total output will exceed 40 tons. ”

"Alfalfa grass can still be harvested so many times? Isn't it always so long, and then harvested at the end of the year to make hay?" asked Liu Heming curiously.

"Haha, Dexter, of course not. If it is only harvested once, I am afraid that the cost of raising many ranchers will increase a lot. George said with a smile.

"Alfalfa grass needs a lot of water to grow, and if you give it enough water, it will thrive. In the future, you can take proper care of these pasture growing areas while irrigating, and it will definitely give you a high return. ”

"As long as you can keep the moisture, let alone harvest three times a year, even four times. However, this may have some effect on the quality of the grass, so it is best to harvest it three times a year. Give them a full four months of growth and a little longer in the winter. ”

"In the future, if you expand the area where you grow grass, maybe these grasses will bring you a lot of profits. Every winter, the price of forage rises a lot. ”

Liu Heming nodded, "This is indeed a good deal, I really didn't think about it at the beginning." At that time, there were few cattle and sheep, and when they had cattle and sheep, they only thought about enough to feed them. ”

"Let's dry it first and see how much the grass weighs when it's dried. Don't just because it grows too tall and the moisture content of the grass is also high, and there is not much left after drying, so it is not profitable. ”

The forage grass that people sell seriously is hay, because the moisture content of the forage grass is high, and the price will be high after drying into hay. If you don't dry so much fresh grass, you can't store it, and it will rot when you pile it up.

The dryer on the side rumbled, and everyone scattered the bales on the conveyor belt. It took some time to dry, and everyone ran to the other side of the machine. Many of the little animals didn't know what they were doing, so they came over to watch the excitement together.

I have to say that the current technology is really developed, and this dryer, which is not very eye-catching, can not only automatically dry and pack, but also set the drying degree of forage.

This time, the moisture content is set at 16%, so the hay is suitable for stacking and storage. In fact, it is okay if the moisture is a little higher, but it is also to avoid errors in the humidity sensing device, which can easily exceed the moisture standard.

The dried grass was weighed again, leaving 9.13 tonnes of fresh grass from this acre.

"Hey, there's a lot of moisture in it, and the sloppy rate hasn't even reached 60%. Liu Heming was a little depressed, but after he finished speaking, he saw that there seemed to be something wrong with everyone's eyes looking at him.

"Fernando, you used to help grow grass when you were working on other farms, right? You can educate your boss about this. George ignored him, but looked at Fernando on the side and said.

"Boss, the sloppy grass in our ranch is already very high. Fernando said with a smile.

"In the past, when I used to work on the farm, I needed at least about 3 kilograms of fresh grass to dry one kilogram of hay when harvesting after flowering, but now we don't need half of this fresh grass in our pasture. ”

"See, the quality of these grasses in your pasture is so good, I didn't expect them to have such a low moisture content in the late flowering stage. Perhaps throughout their growing season, the water content will not be very high. George said.

"This means that your grass will require much less water than other forages to grow, and your total forage yield will be more than twice as much hay as other people's. ”

"I really didn't expect that the improved soil of those earthworms would have such a strong fertility, which can keep these grasses growing well and reduce the need for water. ”

"Hehe, it looks like these grasses are really good. Fernando, get in touch with the SGS guys and ask them to take a few bundles and give them a good test to see how they're doing in terms of nutrition. Liu Heming waved his hand and said happily.

The system is produced, and it really cannot be underestimated. Now these forages have given themselves surprises in terms of yield, but I don't know if I can give myself some surprises in terms of quality.

At the same time, there was also a little luck in my heart, the performance of the grass was so good, and it did not arouse everyone's suspicion much, so I directly helped myself find an excuse and put it on the earthworm.

Although this is only a microcosm, it can be seen that the various crops in the pasture have been recognized by everyone, even if they behave against the sky, it seems to be nothing.

The yield of forage grass is gratifying, which makes Liu Heming happy and a little painful at the same time. Machines are needed for harvesting and drying forage, and equipment for this will have to be purchased later. That's the money, and it's important to note that you need to buy the kind of harvesters and dryers that are powered by clean energy.

In the future, the ranch will focus on environmental protection, and the fuel equipment will be slowly eliminated.

The harvesters for forage are all small harvesters rented temporarily, and the speed is not very fast. It will take at least a week or so for all the grass to be harvested.

The main reason is that the planting area of these pastures in the pasture is still relatively large, and Liu Heming set aside 700 acres of planting area at the beginning. Although the growth of these pastures is not so good in some places, according to the current production, about 8,000 tons of fresh grass can be harvested.

These fresh grasses also have to be dried and stacked, which requires a lot of manpower to operate. That is, there are many workers in the pasture now. Stacking is not so laborious, otherwise I am afraid it will take at least half a month or so.

The inspectors from SGS came over quickly, and they didn't take away several bundles as Liu Heming said, but they took away one bundle, which is a bit too much.

The pasture in the pasture is also considered a bumper harvest, and then because there is nothing else to do now, the construction of Xiangshui Town is also going to enter a shutdown period, so George and they used this excuse to blackmail Liu Heming for a barbecue.

This barbecue is also a combination of Chinese and Korean, with meat skewers and Korean-style good meat rolls and kimchi. Liu Heming kept complaining, but he still farts for everyone. After all, there is a lot of joy, and it is still necessary to share it with others, which is the real joy.
