(Thanks to my friend Sheep Breed and I Love Flying Birds for their encouragement)

Landosie, the new resident, stayed here for two days before leaving in the Prius. I still have studies to deal with, and I haven't graduated seriously yet.

Liu Heming was also absent from work in the restaurant today, and he didn't take anyone's orders. Today is the day of harvest of these winter wheat, although the area of these winter wheat is a little small compared to the planting area of the entire pasture, but the heavy ears of wheat make people happy to look at.

"Dexter, congratulations, even if you didn't take measurements, this year's Xiangshui Town has been a good year. Jones, a staff member of the Wheat Association, came over and said complimentally.

"Jones, how is the winter wheat going this year? So I should consider whether to let your wheat association sell it directly for me, or leave it to my sales company to sell it yourself. Liu Heming asked with a smile.

"This year's market is a little worse than last year. Jones said.

"Global wheat production has increased again this year, and U.S. wheat exports have been sluggish both years due to intense competition from the Black Sea and European regions. We forecast the best price for this year's hard red winter wheat is likely to be at US$230 a tonne, which is a bit lower than last year's price. ”

"Judging from the recent transaction price, our estimate price may be a little high, and most of the current transaction prices are around $220, and there is a trend of continuing to decrease. ”

"But I don't think there is any need to worry about the wheat in Xiangshui Town now, the wheat quality on your side is very good, and the yield is also high, and you will definitely be able to meet the harvest easily this year. ”

"Jones, after we commissioned SGS to test, the protein content of our hard red winter wheat can reach 15%, which is higher than the best quality hard red winter wheat, so when we sell it, how much premium can we sell it at the normal price now?" asked Susanna, who rushed back to participate in the harvest.

"I can't say a little bit about this, but I don't think it's a problem to increase the price by 10%-15%. However, the main trading partners will also be those production enterprises such as flour mills, and in the case of grain distributors, the 10% premium should be the highest amount. Jones thought for a moment and said.

She has been in the industry for many years, and she has never seen such a good yield and quality of hard red winter wheat, but even if the quality is good, it cannot be separated from the category of wheat, and the basic price trend is here.

"If the Department of Agriculture can give you the USDA certification label, the price can go up by about 15%, but I don't think you have any preparations for this right now. Jones continued.

Suzanne glanced at Liu Heming, who grinned bitterly.

Now the relationship between my side and the Ministry of Agriculture is a little delicate, in fact, even according to normal standards, my side should be certified by USDA this year. But now because I want to launch SUSDA, the whole review process is a little abnormal.

People will have three years of production time with you, even if your side has been abandoned for many years, but they have not supervised it before, so it will take three years. Not only the wheat, but also the vegetables in the pastures are not eligible for the USDA label.

Liu Heming felt that this was too stingy by the US Department of Agriculture, and he didn't want to launch a SUSDA standard, you can use it. Looking for you to play with, you have a lot of scruples. I'm playing by myself, and you think it's disrespectful not to take you. What is it all about?

Last year, George's wheat was not as good as this year, and it could be sold for $273 a ton, but listening to Jones, it was already very good to be able to sell for $230 a ton this year.

This is the helplessness of the farmer, your income is not under your control, whether you have a good crop this year or not.

"Dexter, let's see how much wheat you can produce in an acre, I always think there will be a miracle today. George said excitedly.

"Okay, John, I'll leave this acre of wheat harvest to you. Liu Heming said to John, who was waiting on the side.

"Alex, are you ready?" John asked Alex very seriously.

"Uncle John, Alex is ready. The little one nodded vigorously.

Helois, who was watching from the sidelines, was a little tickled, and she also wanted to play with the harvester for a while. However, the cab of the harvester is too small, and it is okay to take the little guy Alex, but it will be too crowded to bring her again.

The harvester drove slowly in front of it, and the rows of wheat were swallowed into its stomach, and the truck driven by Ralph slowly followed the side, receiving the wheat grains that were sprayed out of the harvester. Fernando and the others followed the cart behind and set aside the straw bales that had been packed by the harvester.

This is the efficiency of mechanization, although it still requires labor, but this efficiency is not comparable to dozens of people. Of course, Liu Heming also spent this money, whether it was a harvester or a truck, he had to use money to buy it.

An acre of land was harvested quickly, and now everyone's eyes began to follow the truck driven by Ralph.

"OK, let's see if our production can make us crazy with joy. When Ralph's car had stopped, George picked up the large tub beside him.

"One, two, three...... Thirty-eight, thirty-nine, forty!"

Every time everyone weighs a pot, they will shout a number, and when the number shouts forty, everyone is a little uneasy.

Forty bushels have been weighed out so far, and there are still on the truck, and it is estimated that there will be at least three bushels. In other words, Liu Heming's wheat yield in this acre has reached 43 bushels.

"Tell me, am I dreaming?" said George when the final weigh-in was done, and George began to wander through the crowd, asking when he saw anyone.

The total production is a little more than 43 bushels, less than half. This output is not only unique in Xiangshui Town, but also ranks first in the United States.

"I really didn't expect that the land here could have such a high yield under careful cultivation. Jones on the side also said with emotion.

"Okay, let's see how the quality of the wheat is. Liu Heming grabbed George, who was still frantically asking.

Weight-wise, it didn't disappoint either, with a bushel weighing 60.3 pounds. That's not a light weight, don't look at George's wheat field last year reached 58 pounds in a bushel, and Liu Heming was only a little more than two pounds more than him.

That's because this year's harvest was a bit later than last year's, the humidity of the wheat was not as high, and it was easier to store. None of this wheat was measured by Jones. Whether it is the integrity of wheat grains, or nutrition and other aspects, it exceeds the existing level 1 standard.

"It's okay, but the next sales are also a problem. John, let's all get moving, finish early, and finish early. Liu Heming said with a smile.

"Dexter, I can get in touch with you and see if the flour companies are interested. Jones said.

"Thank you Jones, we'll let you know the price of these wheat later. If it is only from the purchase standard of wheat this year, I am afraid that I will not be able to sell it at a good price. Liu Heming smiled and nodded.

The money to join the Wheat Association is not in vain, and since Jones said to help him get in touch, it is definitely not a polite remark. It's just that he doesn't have much hope for Jones now, and like those vegetables, he will be uncomfortable if he sells them cheaply. But if you sell too high, it may exceed what the market can afford now.

Those who buy vegetables have been talking to Suzanne for several days, and now they are still discussing the price, and none of them can really make up their minds to buy them.

Even if the quality of the vegetables is good, it is necessary to consider the acceptance of the market. The price of the purchase is high, the cost of transportation, and then to the retailer, and all parts have to flow out of the profit, and the price will be higher.

Even in the ranch's restaurant, very few people use these vegetables. This is still just a little bit of a price increase, and they all think the price is very expensive.

This is just like when the Apple mobile phone was just released, buying a mobile phone at a price of more than 5,000 yuan will feel very luxurious. But up to now, thousands of mobile phones are arcade machines, and people have accepted the consumption standard on this product.

The harvester rumbled again, not to mention the efficiency of several harvesters working at the same time, and during the time everyone was chatting, there was a large empty area in front of them.

"Dexter, I think even if our production isn't as high as yours, it should be able to reach sixty bushels. George said happily.

"You don't regret that you gave me all these lands, in fact, even if you regret it, I will not give you these lands. Liu Heming quipped.

"No, Dexter, we really don't regret it. In the last year of planting, we are content to produce a good harvest. This proves that it is not that we do not know how to farm, but that we are unlucky. George said very seriously.

"Next year, I will give priority to the construction of houses in Xiangshui Town. You are a special group of people, and there will be a single-family house with a courtyard waiting for you. Liu Heming nodded.

The big guys are interesting enough to themselves, and they have to be interesting enough to them. With these lands, they have been able to connect their existing pastures into a large area, and it will definitely be more convenient to plant next year.

In the following time, I immediately checked the quality of this year's wheat fields, and the quality of this year's wheat fields was really good. In fact, even with the current output, Liu Heming has to make money.

An acre can produce 1.45 tons of wheat, which can be bought for $333 even at the current purchase price. And the wheat on his side, as everyone knows, will definitely be much higher than this price.
