060 Seeing Hope
After more than half a month of worry, I was worried every day that I would be blocked by those bikers when I woke up. During this time, George would come over once a day, and occasionally bring some dishes for him to cook. is worried about what will happen to him, and Liu Heming is also very grateful in his heart.
After getting up early this morning, I made a fool of myself, and then I put the bears and children in the car and drove to George's side. Today is the day of the harvest of these wheat in his pasture, and even if there is a mechanical harvest, there are places where people need to help.
He thought he had come early, but he didn't expect John and Lewis to come earlier, and even Anderson came over to help George.
"Dexter, hurry up and let us see the bears, we haven't seen them in days. Seeing Liu Heming get out of the car, Lewis shouted loudly.
"You're here so early, George, tell me what you need to do in a moment. Liu Heming said with a smile after hugging the bear children down.
George hugged him, "Today's work is actually very simple, this time the rented harvester is very efficient, one can harvest 8,000 bushels a day." Don't look at the fact that I only rented two of them, and I can harvest these wheat fields in one day. ”
"By the way, I'll introduce you, this is Ms. Jones from the Wheat Association. In the future, you will also join the wheat association, and they will help us with the grading and sales of wheat, which will make it much easier for us. ”
"Hello Jones. Hearing what George said, Liu Heming hurriedly greeted.
"Hello, do you have a wheat harvest this year?" Jones asked curiously, looking at Liu Heming.
"Uh...... Not yet, my wheat hasn't been planted yet. I missed the planting season after coming here, but I will need your help next year. Liu Heming said with some embarrassment.
"It's okay, this is my business card, you can keep it, you can contact me at any time if you have any questions. Jones said with a smile.
"Haha, let's see how my harvest is this year. After George finished speaking, he gave a signal to the person in charge of driving the harvester.
The roar of the engine sounded, and Liu Heming finally saw what efficiency was.
The big harvester is "booming" and walking, harvesting, threshing, drying, loading, all done. He also knew why George used so little fertilizer for farming, and all the wheat stalks were crushed and buried in the ground. When you sow seeds in winter, this is also a good fertilizer.
To his surprise, just after harvesting, the harvester stopped, and the transport truck that followed behind drove up to everyone.
"Why don't you harvest?" asked Liu Heming, who gently stabbed John.
"It's about an acre or so now, and Jones is grading based on the wheat that is being harvested now. John said with a smile.
Liu Heming nodded, thinking that it would be rated only after the entire harvest was completed, but he didn't expect that the other side would be quite efficient.
A large wooden basin was brought over, and the wheat on the cart was potted and weighed. The wheat in the cart contained more than 38 pots, and the net weight of one pot of wheat was about 58 pounds.
When weighing, Liu Heming also knew that this wooden basin was the measuring tool for the bushel, and he was used to using this to measure the yield of wheat here.
"George, is this yield high or low, and how much can you earn from wheat this year?" asked Liu Heming curiously.
"Now this output is considered a normal output, but in our Xiangshui Town, this is a high yield. It's the highest yield in recent years, otherwise it's 35 bushels per acre on my side. George gave Liu Heming a hug vigorously, which made him a little out of breath.
"Without your lake, I'm thankful that I've been able to produce 25 bushels this year. Dexter, you are really the lucky star of our Xiangshui Town. ”
Being praised by George was a little embarrassed, Liu Heming touched his nose, but he was more concerned about the income of these wheat, after all, he was now in a state of tight money, and the only hope was to sow winter wheat this year.
"Haha, Dexter, the price of wheat needs Jones' help. Now that she's grading the wheat, I feel like I'm going to have a good harvest this year. Hearing Liu Heming's question, George said with a smile.
This review is really a meticulous job, and Jones was busy here for more than half an hour before the results were given.
"George, according to my preliminary estimates, your wheat this year will sell for $273 a tonne. Congratulations, it's been a good year. Jones said to George after he had made the notes in his notebook.
"Haha, have you heard, our Xiangshui Town can finally make money by planting wheat again. George roared excitedly, and then picked up Liu Heming and began to circle around.
Liu Heming was a little dizzy, and he was a little surprised that George's little friend was so old and so powerful.
In fact, he still didn't understand that George didn't seem to make a lot of money per acre at this price. And this yield doesn't seem to be very high, although the family has never planted wheat before, but it is estimated that the yield of one mu of wheat must be 700 catties. Converted to acres, the yield must be about two tons.
After thinking about it for a while, he could figure out the obstacles. The main reason is the problem of land area.
In the United States, there are few people and there are many people, and they are all mechanized planting, which is a rough type. There are many people in the country and there is little land, and the common people all count on those lands, which are intensively cultivated, so there is a difference in output. And if it is converted into per capita production, the per capita output of the United States is still high.
George was so happy that the two combine harvesters started again. Liu Heming's heart is also quite happy, not only because George's side is a small harvest, but he also tasted the joy of harvest. More importantly, he saw hope and saw hope for his own harvest in the coming year.
I am a person who has a system cover, and my wheat will be much better than George's in terms of yield and quality in the coming year, and the corresponding price will be much higher. At least I have been fluttering this year and preparing for farming in vain, and I will always have to make money in the coming year.
At the same time, he also felt a little emotional, whether it is the United States or domestic farmers, they can be regarded as a bitter haha. If you want to get the joy of harvest, the whole process requires a lot of hard work.
I want to make money from my ranch as soon as possible, so that I can pay off Sasha's account. But the farmer is digging in the soil, and no matter what you plant, he has a growing season.
