Hurried for a few days, and passed in a flash.

Link signed a contract for his custom-built car, but the mastermind behind the accident has never found any useful information.

Maybe it's because Link's bodyguards have increased, and he hasn't encountered any more accidents.

At this point, the wheat from the Southern Oregon farm is ready to be harvested. This is the first time that high-yield wheat has been planted in the field, and Link takes it very seriously. After he got the news, he flew over. When he arrived, he found that Florin and his two experimenters were already on the scene.

As soon as he arrived, Florin came up to him and said, "Wait until you come, and we can begin." Florin also took the harvest very seriously. Before, it was only planted in the experimental field, and although the yield was very good, the field planting and the experimental field planting were two different things. He also wanted to know how the wheat behaved in the fields.

Link saw that the five large harvesters were already in place, and said, "Actually, you don't have to wait for me. Now that you can start, let's get started. ”

These harvesters are all farm-based, and these harvesters are the best harvesters. Corn, wheat, soybeans, their specialized machinery can all provide services.

Soon, Link saw the folded header in front of the harvesters stretch out, forming a header more than ten meters long. These harvesters are larger than a large truck.

Fifteen hundred acres of wheat, even if five harvesters work together, still takes a long time. But Link: They don't need to wait until all the wheat fields have been harvested to count the unit yield. They waited until a third of the harvest was complete and began to count the yield.

The results of the approximate calculation surprised both Link and Florin.

The yield of these wheates is even higher than that of the experimental plots. With an ultra-high yield of 300 bushels per acre, this yield is definitely the highest in the world.

Previously, the world's highest yield per unit of wheat came from the Netherlands, at about 290 bushels per acre. The highest production in the United States was only 250 bushels. And usually only about two hundred. Some varieties are even around one hundred and eighty bushels.

A busel is a unit of volume, and the weight of each bushel varies depending on the agricultural product. The American standard is equivalent to 27.216 kilograms per bushel.

Now 300 bushels could even reduce the U.S. wheat acreage by a third.

Most of the agricultural products in the United States are in surplus, and wheat is one of them. In order to keep food prices at a reasonable price, the U.S. government communicates production expectations and guides farmers to choose crops that are more economically viable. And now the yield of winter wheat is so high, and winter wheat is a relatively high-quality wheat. The high yield of this seed will certainly lead to a significant reduction in the area planted with winter wheat.

But this yield is known only to Link and Flolin and the two experimenters.

When Link learned of this result, he said to Flolin, "We need to keep it a secret!"

Florin agrees. Until they have found control of this seed, they really can't disclose this news that will shock the world.

"I know. Florin said to the two experimenters. "If this output is known to the outside world, our company will be very passive. ”

The two experimenters weren't fools, and they knew that the company couldn't keep the seed yet. When Florin said this, they understood what it meant. Both nodded and promised to keep it a secret.

Link then said to Floring, "It seems that we will have to get it done at least before next year's harvest." ”

This 1,500 acres of wheat should be able to grow 110,000 acres of arable land. His farm has nearly 250,000 acres of wheat farmland. He plans to plant all wheat in the fall. High-yielding wheat is all grown on Southern Oregon farms, and the remaining two farms are temporarily planted with other wheat

After next year's harvest, if he finds a way to prevent the farmer from keeping the seeds, he will have a few months to do so. Maybe he can sell a lot of wheat seeds.

And he needs time to prepare for the worldwide rollout of high-yielding seeds.

Europe and Asia are his focus. Asia, in particular, has a large population and greater demand for food. Now, while there is still an opportunity to sell the seeds, he has to buy them abroad. Otherwise, his seeds will only become political bargaining chips for the US government. That didn't do him or Benehans any good.

Florin left with some wheat seeds. Link, on the other hand, waited until the final harvest was completed, and finally he counted the unit yield himself, and it could indeed reach 300 bushels.

Thirty this yield, he didn't even reveal it to the old black man who managed the farm, but only gave him a sum of money as a bonus and let him take two months off. And ask the other party not to talk about the farm.

He then returned to the Mora estate with the good news of a high wheat yield.

Hearing that those wheat yields were 300 bushels, Jessica couldn't help but exclaim, "Great. With that kind of yield, we can even capture the entire seed market for winter wheat cultivation. Winter wheat is grown on more than 24 million acres. ”

Of course, the most important thing is how wheat seeds can be sold for more than sixty dollars per bushel. And you need at least three bushels of seeds per acre. That's a multi-billion dollar market. Most importantly, the performance of high-yielding wheat has raised expectations for high-yielding seeds from other crops.

"The only problem we have now is how to prevent those wheat growers from keeping their seeds," Link laughs. I'm planning to expand the acreage on the South Oregon farm now, and if that solves the problem next year, we can supply millions of acres of seeds. ”

Jessica thought for a moment and said, "I'm worried about the climate on the farms in Southern Oregon, and if it rains heavily or something during the critical time, there may be a reduction in production. If you have more human control, I think you should be better off at Fairy Peaks Farm. It's a desert, but there's plenty of water. The arid climate is more suitable for wheat cultivation. Of course, the same goes for Baker Farms. ”

Link thought about it for a moment and felt that what she said made sense. It's really not safe to keep all your eggs in the same basket. He nodded and said, "You're right, maybe we can spread the seeds across three farms and plant them." But more needs to be done to prevent seed outflow. ”

"I guess that's not a problem for you. ”

Link smiled and said, "It's really not a problem. "Not to mention that there is already a patent for that kind of seed, even if the seeds are stolen in the United States, it is impossible to sell them, or even grow them for sale. He fears theft from other countries.

But he has enough people to do the precautionary work. Even if you separate the three farms, you'll probably be fine.

"That's it. The three farms are also just right for crop rotation. Then, his plan had to change again, and the land on the three farms could not be planted with wheat.

But that's fine, if a piece of land is always planted with the same crop, the consumption of soil will be very large, and the crop is more susceptible to pests and diseases. Rotation of suitable crops is beneficial to maintain fertility.

Thinking of the question of earth power, he thought of another thing. Those wheat fields on Southern Oregon farms use little to no fertilizer, but they use a lot of kelp residue. He didn't know how much weight that was in the factors that made the wheat yields.

But he felt that both Fairville Peak Farm and Baker Farm should apply a large amount of macrophytophyl residue. It is a desert soil with less humus, and if you want to grow crops, you need to use a lot of chemical fertilizers. It would be a good idea to improve the land there with kelp residue.

I just don't know if the giant algae residue of Xihua Company is enough.

He also said: "Tomorrow I will go to Xihua Company to see the situation. ”

"Going in the morning?" Now Link basically goes to the office in the afternoon.

Link nodded, and said what he was going to do: "I want to transform those desert lands with the kelp residue of the West China Company. Wonder if they can provide enough residue. ”

Because those places are desert land, the temperature is relatively high, and when there is enough moisture, the humus is easy to decompose, and he worries that a large amount of kelp residue will need to be replenished every year: "If they don't produce enough residue, maybe it's time for them to expand." ”

"Although I heard that the earnings of Xihua Company are quite good. But it's just good, and they're probably not paying for it yet. And expansion takes time. ”

"Yes, the production of kelp also takes time. Link said with a smile. "However, it is better to expand earlier than later. I went just to find out what they had to say about the market. If the market can afford it, it's simple to solve the problem of funding their expansion. Have you forgotten about Ozette Bank?"

Jessica laughed and said, "I really forgot!"

The next morning, Link came to the West China Company under the protection of two cars driven by bodyguards.

When Brad and Hayley learn that he needs more kelp residue, they both learn that he needs to provide scraps for 250,000 acres of land, and they are both a little struggling.

Finally Hayley said, "Mr. Hans." We estimate that about 800,000 tons of macroalgae will be harvested this year, and about 80,000 tons of residue will be produced in the end. Of course, that's the weight after dehydration, and you've shipped it all out of what was produced before. In the second half of the year, we will probably be able to produce 40,000 to 50,000 tons. ”

Hearing her say that, Link asked, "Can we expand production now?"

"Not so much for the time being, because we haven't reached the maximum production of macroalgae in our marine area. According to our estimates, our marine area should eventually be able to produce 2.4 million tonnes of macroalgae per year. ”

"So if the production is larger, is there that demand in the market?"

"The market is certainly in demand. But if we want to occupy more markets, we need to accumulate slowly. ”

"Maybe you can start now, and next year the kelp harvest in the new sea area will start and the market will open. If you are worried about the problem of funds, you can take out a loan from Ozette Bank. ”

Brad shook his head and said, "What we mean by that is that our total production next year will probably triple what it is now. That kind of production would put a lot of pressure on our marketing. If we expand the scale of operation, of course, we can manage it, but the risk will be relatively large. ”

"Interest-free loans!" Link knew their concerns. He revealed the news. "I might have a pharmaceutical company this year. He revealed some of the things about Springs Pharmaceutical, saying. "This pharmaceutical company is definitely going to expand in my hands. Don't know if it's in your existing customer base?"
