Just do it, and the next day, the whole ranch started harvesting mode.

The harvest is joyful, this joy Liu Heming also "shared" with the tourists who came to play, whoever wants to work with you will be given a chance, anyway, it is to play while receiving.

Not to mention that tourists are very enthusiastic about this small event, and they are very enthusiastic about signing up. There are even some people who come here to experience harvesting crops.

For farmers, this is something that is used to happening. But for these people, they really haven't experienced much. I've always lived in the city, and I've only learned about it on some information, and where I've really participated.

The first to be harvested was corn, and a total of 76,000 bushels were harvested from the 400 acres planted, which equates to a yield of about 190 bushels per acre. It also weighs a little less than the corn harvested earlier, at 59.3 pounds in a bushel. The yield of one acre reached 5,200 kilograms.

This is due to the lack of herbicides and intensive farming, but the yield is not low and is still higher than normal planting in the United States. This is the bonus that comes with the title of farmer.

Yields of sorghum, oats, soybeans and barley are also impressive. Compared with the normal cultivation level in the United States, although the advantages are not obvious, they are also very gratifying.

And the most anticipated food crop is wheat. Because wheat is very versatile in the United States, it is also their main daily food variety.

The yield of wheat did not disappoint either. Winter wheat was harvested at 43.5 bushels per acre and 60.3 pounds per bushel. The yield of these spring wheat is 46 bushels per acre, a bushel reaches a weight of 62.5 pounds, and an acre is 1,300 kilograms.

Everyone was a little speechless about his yield, and even Jones of the Wheat Association didn't know what to say.

This is not ordinary wheat, it is organic wheat that has been grown without the use of any chemical fertilizers or chemicals. Even if there is no USDA certification yet, people here are still serious organic wheat, and it is still a high-quality one.

"Dexter, I'm afraid this wheat still doesn't need our Wheat Guild to help, right?" Jones asked with a smile.

Liu Heming nodded, "In terms of normal sales, I will suffer a lot, so let's figure it out ourselves." And we're still thinking about whether to build a flour mill directly. The quality of this wheat is very good, and I feel very sorry if I sell it to those flour mills. ”

The sales of winter wheat were not very good, and although the price at which it was sold was not low, he still felt that he was at a loss. And the cost of investing in a flour mill is not very high, and the technology is not so complicated. It is a mature process, as long as the flour is produced according to the standard.

"Dexter, why are you piling all that rice in the field?" asked Jones, curious.

"These rice are very high-quality rice. As with sorghum and glutinous rice, this is done to make them taste better. Liu Heming said with a smile.

"I'll keep piling them up here, letting them go through the wind and snow, and then threshing them. When the time comes, when you go to eat the cooked rice, it will taste very fragrant. ”

"Dexter, is this true?" asked George, who was next to him, curiously.

In the past, he was basically loveless for rice, steak and bread, which was the king. But after eating at Liu Heming's place more times, he found that the taste of rice was also very good. In particular, the rice stewed in a large pot is a perfect match with Chinese food.

"I haven't tried rice like that, but we used to make sorghum like this at home. It should be similar, maybe after experiencing wind and frost, there will be a little change in the inside of the rice. Anyway, we can try it, and even if it doesn't work, it won't have any effect. Liu Heming shrugged his shoulders and said.

If you ask him what the principle is, he doesn't understand it, it's all understood when he was a child. At that time, there were bundles of sorghum ears piled up on the courtyard wall, and occasionally the little sparrows who had to run over to steal food.

"Dexter, sorghum can also be boiled and eaten, is it delicious?" Lewis, who came over to join in the fun, was a little uneasy.

"It depends on personal taste, sorghum is a coarse grain, and the taste is not as delicate as rice, but it can also be regarded as a healthy food. Liu Heming said with a smile.

"Anyway, I like to eat it, and in the summer, I get some sorghum rice rice, and then serve it with some dipping pickles, and then get some egg sauce. If there are some small fish and shrimp, dry fried as a dish, it will be even more delicious. ”

As he spoke, he drooled a little.

It may be the reason why I grew up in the countryside when I was a child, but in the past, it was not like rice and white noodles every day. At that time, the conditions at home were not good, and the staple food was basically sorghum rice. Whether it was sorghum rice porridge in winter or sorghum rice rice in summer, he was a little scratchy when he ate it at that time.

But, that's how strange things are. Now that my life is better, I don't eat much sorghum rice, but I think about it. In the past, when I went home in China, I would always make some boiled food to eat.

"OK, Dexter, make sure to get a good sun so we can taste it together. Lewis said with interest.

Liu Heming's arrival subverted their feelings about food too much. The authentic Chinese food is more delicious than the improved version, and many foods that have not been eaten before are also very delicious. If it had been in the past, unless they were dying of starvation, who would have eaten manta rays?

Now I don't just dare to eat, I love to eat. The dish called boiled fish, I don't eat it every once in a while, and I still think about it.

"Dexter, do you need to build some more barns in your ranch?" asked George with a smile.

"We have to build it next year, otherwise there won't be enough barns. Liu Heming smiled bitterly and nodded.

"The grain that was planted last year will be reserved for the cattle that will be fattened this year. Now the number of cattle and sheep is still small, and they can barely wipe out the grain. I'm going to try some brewed beer on those barleys, so that in the future my restaurant can have more ingredients from my own farm. ”

"Will the price of your restaurant go up, and won't that affect the customers who come over?" asked Lewis.

Liu Heming shook his head, "I will give everyone more choices." Just like when we buy a car, there are low-spec versions and high-spec versions. My future restaurant will not be the most expensive restaurant in the world, but it will definitely be the best restaurant in the world. ”

"In the future, there will definitely be other restaurants in Xiangshui Town, so ordinary diners will leave it to them. Otherwise, all the business will be robbed by us, which is not conducive to the future development of our Xiangshui Town. ”

"And if I don't use as much of the vegetables and products from my farm as possible in my own restaurant, I'm afraid other restaurants will use even less. ”

There is nothing to say about this. Although the sales of vegetables in the pasture are also very good, it is because the supply is still limited. If the greenhouses under construction in the pasture are also put into use in the future, the yield of vegetables will increase by at least five times.

This is a major event related to the future development of Liu Heming's ranch, and they all know that Liu Heming owes a lot of debt, and the monthly interest is a set of numbers that they didn't dare to imagine before.

Everyone looked around again, and the workers were working in an orderly manner.

"Dexter, are you still growing winter wheat today?" asked Jones.

"I won't plant this year, let the land slow down. Liu Heming shook his head.

"Looking at the improvement of the land next year, if there is more land improvement, I will probably continue to cultivate hundreds of acres of winter wheat. ”

"Actually, it doesn't matter to me whether I plant or not, although I can keep my pasture in the harvest period after planting, but for the workers, their labor intensity will increase a lot. Workers in the ranch now work about 1.5 times as hard as the rest of the farms. ”

"Well, no matter what, you won't need our Wheat Association in the future. Jones said with a smile.

"Not necessarily, the main reason is that your sales channels are not suitable for me right now. Liu Heming stretched.

"Actually, you can also try to make a new standard for the grading of wheat?

Jones rolled his eyes, "Our standards can only follow the standards of the Ministry of Agriculture, can't you get USDA certification from the Ministry of Agriculture now?"

"They're all brainless, and it doesn't matter to me whether or not to give it now doesn't matter much. Now people have started to accept my vegetables, without them it's just that I'm a little slower to promote them. Liu Heming shook his head.

"In two years, even if it is given to me, I don't want it, my own standards are much higher than theirs. My bear logo is the symbol of the highest quality agricultural and animal husbandry products. ”

Jones nodded, Liu He clearly had such confidence.

Many farmers and ranchers join associations in order to find a market for their products. But Liu Heming doesn't need it, all his products are already higher than the existing evaluation standards, and he also needs to find special customers to sell.

Anyway, she felt that even if the Ministry of Agriculture had some concerns, it should support the promotion of the new standard. At that time, Liu Heming was very difficult, and if Liu Heming was helped, it would be of certain benefit to the improvement of the quality of agricultural and animal husbandry products in the United States.

took everyone around here again, although this time it was also a bumper harvest, but Liu Heming didn't have any large-scale celebrations.

The landlord's family doesn't have much food left, and the firefighting some time ago made him dig out a big hole, and he has to live a tight life recently.
