This heavy snowfall is really big enough.

Last year's snow was not small, but it only rained for five days, and this year's snow fell for 11 days. News across the United States reported on the snow disaster and the estimated damage caused by the snow disaster.

The situation is not so good, and this time it is almost the same as the disaster in the United States. So far, 31 people have been killed, and all the snowmelt salt of various salt companies is in an emergency.

If you don't have salt, you can't buy it, even if you have any money, and you need it everywhere in the United States.

Then there is the loss of farmers and ranchers everywhere, not everyone can install heating devices on the greenhouse in order to save worry like Liu Heming, and many people do not.

The snow and wind were too strong, and at first they were able to climb to the roof of the shed to remove the snow, but later they did not dare to go up, so they could only watch the roof of the shed being frozen and crushed.

Many farmers' cattle are also forced to be slaughtered early, and in the next period of time, a large amount of beef will flood the market, and the price of meat will fall instead of rising after the disaster.

It can be said that Xiangshui Town suffered the least damage from the disaster, only a few people were slightly injured, and the most serious was the old Harrison, who was out of danger because of the timely treatment and is now recuperating in the clinic.

Looking at the snow in the pasture, Liu Heming was worried.

Those places where the wind blows are okay, the snow is not particularly thick, only more than one meter, but the places with a little wind are more hilarious, and the highest points are more than two meters.

And he also faced a very difficult problem, the animals in the pasture did not have enough meat to feed. The main thing is that there are too many animals that have gathered in the pasture in the last few days, and the ones that have been stockpiled have been fed to them.

Now they have to fool around when they feed it, because transportation is blocked, and even the food reserves in Grent Town and Walker Town have been bought up by the residents.

"Dexter, I'm afraid it's going to take a long time for the snow to melt. George put the snow shovel aside, wiped the sweat from his head, and said.

"This snowstorm is really enjoyable, thanks to our power plant being put into operation ahead of schedule, otherwise the town's electricity would have been a real problem. In many places, the transmission lines were not broken, and the longest place had a power outage of more than 3 days. Liu Heming grinned bitterly.

"So, we are lucky, and this luck is brought by you. George said with a smile.

"Xiangshui Town didn't want to have such good luck in the past. Without you, bad things might have happened this time too. Seven houses were crushed by the snow, and this year's snow was really too big. ”

Liu Heming rolled his eyes, George's favorite thing to say now is that he has brought luck to everyone. I like to listen to it, but I'm a little embarrassed to listen to it often.

They are worried about how to clear the snow from the pasture and how to feed the animals. Alex and Helois didn't have that consciousness at all, and they had a lot of fun in the snowdrifts on the pasture.

There are quite a few workers in the pasture, now there are several hundred, but this comprehensive snow clearing work is only a small part of it in the morning.

This piece is still specially cleaned out for the cattle, sheep and small animals in the pasture to walk. A lot of cattle and sheep also need to exercise, otherwise they will not all become fattening.

"Dexter, I've heard a piece of news that isn't very good. At this time, Anderson also came back with some meat from outside, but it was pitiful.

"Say, no matter how bad it is, it won't get any worse, and in a short period of time, the price of meat will still go up a bit. Liu Heming smiled and nodded.

"No, Dexter, it's about the town of Grent. Did you know that William's family had already bought up the entire town of Grent at the time of this snowstorm? Anderson said with a smile.

"Although the area of Grent Town is not as large as Xiangshui Town, it is not small, and the William family made such a big move with the help of the snow disaster. ”

"Oh my God, they're not going to have the idea of competing with our Xiangshui Town, are they?" asked George, a little surprised.

"Then I don't know very well, it is said that their family has cooperated with some grain companies, and the whole town of Grent will be replanned in the future. Anderson said.

"But in general, the way is to let the existing farmers run it, but in terms of future planting, it will be subject to the plans of the Williams. ”

"yes, it looks like we have a competitor too. Liu Heming said with a smile.

"You know, I'm looking forward to it, or we're a little bored. It's just that I can't understand who gave the William family such strong confidence and dared to make them make such a big bet on agriculture. ”

"Although the land area of Grent Town is not as large as our Xiangshui Town, it still has tens of thousands of acres. It's all land that has been developed, and the price is higher than ours. Combined with these facilities on the land, I'm afraid that the overall purchase price of them will be at least more than 300 million US dollars, right?"

"I'm afraid it's more than that. George said from the side.

"The price of land over there is definitely more than 1,200 dollars per acre, and with the buildings and the property on the land, I'm afraid it's more than 400 million dollars, nearly 500 million. ”

"Do you think it was a joint acquisition by the William family and the grain company? They must be planning some big move, right? Otherwise, even if they target you, they won't be able to make such a big investment in an area that they are not familiar with. ”

"Wait, I guess when they finish integrating, there will be news released. But they were secretive, and we didn't even hear the slightest rumor. Otherwise, we should also go over and stir up and stir up, so that they can buy too smoothly. Liu Heming said with some regret.

Anderson and George shook their heads in unison, and Liu Heming was really cautious sometimes. Even if it is mixed up in the past, it will not play a role.

The specific acquisition plan of William's family has not yet been revealed, although they are the same business, but it must be different from Xiangshui Town, where can you stir and mix?

After chatting for a while, everyone had almost rested, and before lunch, everyone cleaned up again. The trucks in the ranch are now working, and the snow on both sides of the main road is transported far away.

It's not like you can make a way and pile the snow aside. When the snow melts in the future, it will definitely turbulent and muddy the pastures. Therefore, the snow can only be sent farther away, and it will not affect the normal life of human beings.

As the old saying goes, eat a trench and grow a wisdom. The snow disaster also sounded the alarm for Liu Heming, and in this year's construction, some auxiliary facilities must be added to the ranch.

In running a ranch, Liu Heming is a rookie, and he has no such experience before. Although George is an authentic American farmer, Liu Heming's business style is still a little different from their habits.

Take the cold storage that is not very commonly used for pastures, and several must be built in the pasture, which has not been considered in the past.

In the past, in order to save money, Liu Heming put radishes, cabbage, and potatoes in the cellar he dug himself. It's a real way to save money and it's practical. But there had never been such a heavy snowfall, and there weren't so many wild animals waiting to be fed in the pastures.

Dry summers can provide them with drinking water. But in the winter snowstorm, if you don't want them to starve to death, you have to feed them.

For this expenditure alone, Liu Heming spent a lot of tickets this time. And now the results are still not enough for these animals to really eat, and the last few days have been limited supply.

In the future, the pasture will have more reserves for this kind of meat, and there will be snow in winter and floods in summer. If we catch the storm that has been falling for many days, according to the habits that these animals have developed now, it is estimated that many of them will have to run to the pasture.

The lunch at noon is much simpler, and there is still so much work to do, so it is an ordinary pot of stewed sauerkraut.

The pigs in the pasture are still enough to eat, and everyone has nothing to taboo, after the snow stops, they are sent to the slaughterhouse to be slaughtered and stewed directly.

"Dad, when are we going to build a big snowman together?" asked Alex after taking a big bite of a piece of dismantled meat, looking at Liu Heming.

"Dad has to clear the snow from the ranch with his uncles and grandfathers, and then he has to go outside to clear the snow from the road, and then he can build a big snowman with Alex. Liu Heming said after putting some meat on the little guy's plate.

"Alright then, you're going to have to work hard to get this done quickly, and then you'll be able to build a big snowman with Alex. The little guy said seriously.

"Alex, if you don't have anything to do, you can come with us in the afternoon to shovel snow on the road. George said with a smile.

Hearing George's words, Alex's big eyes slipped over Sasha.

In fact, she really wanted to go over and take a big car with her, but she was too crazy this morning, not to mention that her clothes were all dirty, and her home was also dirty, and she had already been criticized by her mother.

"If you want to follow, you can only be in the car. It's just snowing, and it's so cold outside that my nose is freezing red today. Sasha said, glancing at the little one.

"Well, thank you Mom, Alex will be obedient, Mommy eats meat. The little one was so happy that he gave Sasha some of the deboned meat on his small plate.

Although the little guy is sometimes a little naughty, but the ability to coax people is definitely top-notch.
