When the calendar turned to the end of November, the minimum temperature in the Jinghu area had reached about 5 degrees Celsius, especially the frost conditions at night were quite severe, which brought a lot of trouble to the production of Jinghu Ranch and Xiaojia Farm.
Jinghu Ranch is okay, after all, the space forage nourished by the Space Spirit Spring has been enhanced in terms of cold resistance, and it can still provide enough green fodder for the cattle in the pasture at low temperatures.
However, as the person in charge of the ranch, watching the sky and eating is not Ma Wanli's style, so when the temperature began to drop, he was already arranging for the harvesting of forage and the collection of green forage.
Ma Wanli has done a test, after the pasture is harvested, except for the moisture drop, most of the nutrients are not lost much, which ensures that the green forage can continue to provide enough calories and nutrients for the cattle in winter.
For many large farms, the cost of winter feed undoubtedly accounts for a considerable part of the ranch's operating costs, and the high-quality forage of Jinghu Ranch solves this problem. According to Ma Wanli's judgment, with a small amount of corn, wheat bran, soybean and other concentrate feed, there is no need to worry about the decline in milk production and beef cattle loss in Jinghu Ranch this winter.
Therefore, in the past two days, Ma Wanli has been inspecting the pasture, looking for a suitable place to prepare for the harvesting and production of green storage fodder, and asked the employees to debug the forage harvesting and crushing machine, the green storage feed baler and the hay baler, etc.
Before the grass turns yellow and the first snow falls in the Jinghu Valley, all the green fodder and hay must be prepared to ensure that nearly 20,000 cattle survive the winter.
It can be said that this is the biggest test that Jinghu Ranch has faced since its establishment, and it is also the heaviest period of work! As long as it can complete various tasks smoothly, it also indicates that Jinghu Ranch has measures and means to deal with winter, which plays a vital role in the exhibition of the ranch.
…………
this day. On the weekend, the ranch wants to start the harvesting and fermentation procedures of green storage fodder, and Xiao Feng naturally has to go to the scene to record the big action of the ranch. But in the end, it turned into an autumn outing for all ages, including the old lady and the old lady, dozens of people entered the Jinghu Valley.
Now, the Xiao family is also clear. The foundation and core of the entire Jinghu system is actually the well-known 'Jinghu Ranch', and only when the ranch is running well can the entire Jinghu system develop smoothly. Therefore, everyone wants to take a closer look at some of the specific operations of the ranch.
"Little wind, so many cows. How troublesome is it to go out to graze every day?" Standing on the mountain bag of the pasture, looking at the ant-like cattle under her feet, the old lady sighed a little.
Since the establishment of the ranch, the old lady came to the ranch for the first time, and tens of thousands of cattle brought him a huge impact.
Before the liberation, the family's horse gang was only three or four hundred horses, and when they got together, they all felt unusually large. But today, the ranch is nearly 20,000 head of cattle, and the scale is unimaginable.
In the old lady's impression, Xiao Laosi had only raised 180 sheep before, and when the sheep were herding, the father and son worked together and were sometimes in a hurry. Today, there are nearly 20,000 cattle and 3,000 black goats raised on the pasture, so isn't there hundreds of workers grazing herds?
Think about the fact that you have to spend tens of thousands of dollars a day to hire people to herd cattle, even the largest rancher in the old society can't be compared, right?
"Grandpa, the herd naturally has a cow. We only need to hang a bell and wireless paging equipment on the head cow, and we can use electronic signals to graze, and we need very few people!" Xiao Feng introduced to the old lady and several other old people with a smile: "Now there are less than 5o workers in the pasture dedicated to grazing, and more workers are working in the milk production workshop!"
Since Jinghu Ranch is located in the closed Jinghu Valley, there is no need to worry about the cattle getting lost, and you only need to train and control the head of the cattle, and grazing becomes much easier. In general. Cowboys on the ranch are only protected against all kinds of accidents, such as bull fights, cows giving birth, and so on.
In addition, due to the abundant nutrients and good growth of pasture grass in the Mirror Lake Pasture, grazing does not require a long trek. It is still very helpful to reduce the workload of denim.
"The current ranch production has really opened the eyes of our old antiques, and it has achieved large-scale, automation, and greatly improved efficiency!" Xue Fugui also sighed when he heard this, and said: "If there is such a ranch at home, how can we know that large-scale animal husbandry works like this?"
Xue Fugui has worked in factories all his life, and as soon as he learned a little about the operation of Jinghu Ranch, he felt a very familiar industrial force rushing to his face. In a sense, Mirror Lake Ranch is also a huge factory, except that its products are milk and beef.
Xue Fugui and his wife originally just talked about the summer vacation in Ginkgo Village, but Xiao Feng did not let them leave after the start of school, after all, compared with Spring City, Ginkgo Village is far from the air quality and diet level, which is very suitable for the elderly to recuperate. As for the establishment of the most advanced medical institution, after the Ginkgo Hospital was put into use, it no longer existed.
Today's Ginkgo Hospital is not only responsible for the daily health care and treatment of the villagers and tourists in Ginkgo Village, but also the designated medical institution for all employees of the Jinghu system.
Therefore, Xue Fugui and his family lived in Ginkgo Village with peace of mind.
After the exclamation of several old people was over, Xiao Feng took them to the pasture where the green fodder and hay were harvested to observe the large-scale mechanized operation up close.
It is a flat land in the middle of the valley, about 2 kilometers long and wide, with a total area of about 1ooo acres, and is a plot of land dedicated to the cultivation of green fodder.
On this plot, in addition to the space pasture, a certain proportion of waxy corn is also planted, which is one of the best raw materials for green storage feed, after all, it is rich in sugar.
At the head of the field, 1o large combine harvesters are laid out in a row, and the deafening roar of the engine resounds throughout the valley, making people feel the powerful industrial power.
With Ma Wanli's order, 2O combine harvesters started at the same time, heading towards the plot composed of waxy corn and various mixed pastures.
I saw that the grass and corn stalks were cut down and crushed under the action of the harvester, and then turned into bales of green fodder through the guò baler, and transported to the truck that followed.
There was no other person in the whole process except for two drivers and two loading workers, and the efficiency was jaw-dropping!
According to Ma Wanli's introduction, 1 group of harvesters, a total of 4 people, can harvest 15 acres of green storage fodder per hour, and it is 150 acres a day!
Don't look at the fact that this plot has an area of 15,000 acres, it only takes five days to completely harvest, providing enough green fodder for 20,000 cattle in the pasture to survive the winter.
The huge power of mechanization made everyone a little dumbfounded, even Xiao Feng was the first time he had seen such a spectacular scene. Compared to the present, sowing grass at the beginning of the year now seems to be a bit pediatric.
As the combine harvester continues to advance, the rabbits, wild birds, pheasants and other small animals that live in the cornfields flee in panic, but it brings a little fun to the cold atmosphere brought by the cold steel machinery.
Seeing those fat rabbits running in the meadow, the big flowers, white clouds, and black soil could no longer hold back, and they all swooped down from the top of the hill to hunt these prey in the valley.
As for the general who has been soaring in the sky, he will not miss this opportunity, as if today is a hunting feast. I saw it fall sharply from the air like an arrow from a string, and its claws like steel claws accurately grasped the rabbit fleeing on the grass, and in a short time it flew to the top of the mountain, leaving behind the rabbit that had already died.
Seeing that the general had a harvest, the three hunting dogs were not to be outdone, they divided labor and cooperated, chased and intercepted, and after a while, they also had a harvest, so that Bai Yun came back with a rabbit in his mouth to ask for credit.
The table of several animals made the Xiao family quite excited, especially a few dolls, who clapped their hands and shouted, saying that they would let Xiao Feng make braised rabbit meat for them tonight.
It seems that under the temptation of food, the originally cute rabbits will not get the slightest sympathy from these little ones.
While watching the harvester work, while watching the hunting dogs and golden eagles catch hares, the Xiao family's autumn trip today is also very pleasant.
By ten o'clock in the morning, everyone was a little tired, and when it was time to go home, the hard-working Xiao Feng had to carry a dozen fat hares back to the old house.
Autumn rabbits have become unusually fat, smooth and shiny after a summer of nourishment, and it is the season when the taste is the best. In addition, these hares grew up eating all kinds of space pasture grass and waxy corn, and drinking space spiritual springs, which are countless times better than ordinary domestic rabbits or hares.
Xiao Feng didn't plan to make these rabbits into smoked rabbits and sell them on the online store, so he just came to make a rabbit feast tonight to reward himself and his family.
Since the sales situation of 'Jinghu Dairy' has entered a tense stage, Xiao Feng has not bothered to cook, and now that he is relaxed, he naturally has to show his hands.
Yes, as soon as I heard that Xiao Feng was going to cook, the people who had not come out of the house appeared one by one, drinking tea, eating melon seeds and chatting in the yard, waiting for the delicious food to be delivered. In particular, Yang Yuanhang and several high-level executives of Jinghu Dairy came to report on their work under the pretext of not leaving.
These greedy guys are not afraid that their boss will give them small shoes to wear, and they will eat in a grand manner, and they will be justified!
In this regard, Xiao Feng was also a little helpless, and could only secretly sigh that he was unladylike when he met someone!
Two major dishes, braised rabbit head and braised beer rabbit, plus a variety of delicacies made with fresh ingredients from the farm, filled four tables and nearly 50 people gathered to drink.
It's a harvest fall!
