179 It's not easy to be a farmer (ask for a subscription wow)

(Thanks to my friends for their ordinary life, Tianrushui for their encouragement, and thanks to my friends Night Rain 1995 and kim__j monthly pass for encouragement)

In the evening, Locke finally arrived, not empty-handed, and brought Alex a box of California hearts.

Liu Heming is a person who talks about feelings, Locke brought gifts, and his fifty dollars of food expenses are really difficult to collect. Not only confiscated, but a few side dishes were specially pondered to entertain Locke in the evening. The main thing is that the girl really likes to eat this peach, if he hadn't stopped him, the little guy could have eaten two.

"Dexter, I've already contacted you, and I hope you can contact this place in advance before you come over, so that there won't be enough accommodation. After eating, Locke said with a smile.

"This time it's just a little bit, and there are still a lot of people waiting to come here and take pictures with the bears. I've counted a little, and there will probably be more than 200 people. ”

"Locke, how can there be so many?" asked Liu Heming with some surprise.

Not to mention him, even George and the others were a little curious, and Lewis on the side was even more happy that his mouth couldn't close together.

"Actually, it's nothing, if you weren't closer to the airport, I'm afraid more people would come here to play. Locke shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Especially if you have a lot of animals on your farm, if you have more in the future, you can arrange a bus to and from the airport, and there will be a lot of families with their children coming here to experience it. ”

"Locke, I'm curious, are you studying business management?" asked Liu Heming curiously.

"No, no, no, my latest love is food and filmmaking. Maybe it's because of my family, my father was an executive at an investment company. Locke said with a smile.

"No wonder you were right the last time you came here, but I really think you can continue your father's business. Liu Heming nodded.

"I don't have any interest in it, even if I can't be a real film director in the future, but I think I can be an advertising director. It was also nice to get to taste the local food. Locke shrugged his shoulders and said.

"I also want to be a director, and I want to eat delicious food. Alex on the side raised his little hand and said very seriously.

"Do you still want to be a director, do you know what a director does?" asked Liu Heming, looking at the little guy.

The little guy thought about it, and then looked at Sasha for help, he really didn't know what he was doing, he just thought that the director could eat a lot of delicious food.

Sasha took the little guy into her arms and told her what the director does.

"By the way, Dexter, I've learned that there was a general drought in September this year, so this year's winter wheat planting area may be a little smaller than in previous years, and maybe we can sell it at a good price next year. After chatting for a while, George spoke.

"I'm not worried about the wheat situation right now, even if we continue to have a drought here next year, we can handle it. I'm just worried that there will be snow and severe cold in the winter you mentioned, will our wheat be able to withstand it by then?" Liu Heming asked with a frown.

My own job is still a rancher, and everything else is small money, and it is only right to dig money from the field.

"Actually, we don't have any snow disasters, no one is doing breeding, even if you have a few cows here, you can prepare enough food for them. George said with a smile.

"The key is to see if the snow is thick enough, and if the snow is thick enough, this layer of snow cover will protect the wheat seedlings below. If the snow comes late and the temperature drops relatively quickly, a lot of wheat seedlings may be killed. ”

"However, our wheat varieties are still relatively good in drought resistance, so there is no need to worry too much. It's a big deal that the snow is falling too much, so we just stay in the house and don't go out. ”

"Will there be such a big snow?" asked Liu Heming curiously.

"At the very beginning, I couldn't even open the door. George smiled and nodded.

"That's what Montana looks like, and when you came here this year, it was pretty good. The winters haven't been so warm in recent years, otherwise if you want to farm, it will be at least April or May.

"It's because there is so little snow in the winter and a bit drier in the summer, and if you didn't provide water for irrigation, we would have had a hard time this year. ”

"Hey, we do planting, and it's too affected by the weather. Even if we have enough water for irrigation, it is not as effective as precipitation in nature. Liu Heming sighed.

"Dexter, come on, if next year's income is still very good, I plan to pool your money to buy a harvester." This can also save some expenses, and it is more convenient for us. George said, stretching.

Today, he was tired enough, not only helping Liu Heming plant wheat, but also working as a waiter for a long time. Tired is a little tired, but he is very happy.

"I thought that people with ranches would live a leisurely life, but I didn't expect that there would be so many external factors interfering. Locke, who was on the side, interjected.

"Without government subsidies, at least one-third of all ranchers in the U.S. would go bankrupt each year. George said with a smile.

"It's only the big ranchers who make money, like us, who are basically making a living. If it weren't for Dexter, the current Xiangshui Town would no longer be ours, and it would definitely be bought by the rich. In recent years, the rich have begun to focus on the land again. ”

"That's true, my father's investment company made a similar investment last year, and I think they will do so in the future. Locke nodded.

"It's just that the real estate investment cycle like this is a little longer, but the profits are still very lucrative. I've learned a little about Xiangshui Town, and now it's the most expensive area in Montana, which naturally attracts a lot of people's attention. ”

"It's not easy for farmers everywhere, even those big ranchers, they make hard-earned money. Liu Heming sighed and said.

Although the big ranchers said that they could do a variety of cultivation, the price of agricultural products was not controlled by them. The more varieties there are, the risk is reduced, and the profits will be reduced, but there is no small ranch like your own that is more flexible to operate.

It's just that people have money, even if they lose money, it has no impact, and as long as they make money, it is a lot of money.

Several people chatted very speculatively, and they talked until about ten o'clock in the evening, George and they said goodbye and left. However, George also left a message, and tomorrow morning he will go to the mayor of the town to make up some formalities, and then he can really charge for business here, and he doesn't have to worry about any pricing problems.
