402 Autumn Farming

Cloud Ranch's adventure park is famous!

On Halloween, many residents in the small town of New Bronfels went to Cloud Ranch out of curiosity. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Some people are curious because of their previous experience of catching thieves; A small number of people were just going to pass by and see what was going on because of the adventure park on top of the town; There are also a small number of people who simply want to join in the fun, after all, in this town, almost nothing happens, and it is finally lively once, how can you miss it?

Of course, more residents stayed at home. They don't want to grab candy with their kids, and they don't want to be embarrassed in Disneyland.

Surprisingly, the residents who went there were all raving about it, saying that it was definitely the funniest Halloween ever.

Not only the children, but also the adults involved, everyone was excitedly describing their experiences, and the hidden surprises, showing off the success or failure of the "trick-or-treat" journey. Even if they fail, they don't care, and they get involved, solve the puzzle, and get back their innocence, which is the most important thing.

Honestly, for adults who are parents, adventure parks are not attractive at all, at the end of the day, it's a park, a park where kids are involved, like Disneyland or Universal Studios, and they're willing to take their kids along and travel as a family, but it's hard for them to enjoy it and they can't feel the excitement again.

But this is New Bronfells, and even a thief can be the talk of the town, let alone a big event like Adventureland? Whether you like it or not, or whether you care about it or not, it is undeniable that the topic has really begun to spread, and the town has once again felt the excitement that has not been felt for a long time.

Halloween seems to have come to life like never before.

If you think about it carefully, the big events that have happened in New Bronfels in the past year have more or less been related to Cloud Peak Ranch. First, a foreigner came and took over the ranch, and he stayed and ran the ranch seriously; Then there are the organic farms and vineyards of the pastures, which have become the hot spots of the town; Then there's the thief incident, then there's the Stampede booth, and now it's Halloween......

Unconsciously, Lu Li is integrating into this land in his own way, establishing a home here that belongs to him; And the residents who have lived here for generations are opening their arms to welcome him to his stay.

Over the next two days, Adventure Park welcomed more guests, and even people who had made a special trip from several surrounding towns; Lu Li insisted on not charging tickets, and a handful of candy was still the key to entering the park, but people spontaneously took out their wallets, five dollars, ten dollars, threw them into the jack-o'-lantern, and "bought" the tickets according to their own ideas.

At the same time, Lu Li did not stop there, and in the next two days, he and his friends came up with more ideas, hiding more surprises in the ranch, and at the same time there were more punishments, which really filled the entire park with the spirit of adventure, but the prize was still candy, continuing the style of Halloween.

In just three days, it is the most special three days of Yunding Ranch. Even Jia Simin, who was about to give birth, came to play, and the whole ranch glowed with unprecedented vitality.

Three days later, according to the agreement, Lu Li began to dismantle the adventure park. After all, a ranch is still a ranch, and after the festival, they still need to return to their daily routines. But in the space of three days, the fame of Cloud Top Ranch spread along with the adventure park in the Austin and San Antonio areas, which was really unexpected good news.

The townspeople have expressed their disappointment and hope that the adventure park will continue to operate. This is true not only for the residents of New Bronfells, but also for several other towns, and after the demolition of Adventureland, even the citizens of Austin and San Antonio made the long journey to see Adventureland.

Such an influence is really something Lu Li did not expect.

There were too many people asking, especially the faces of children who were full of expectations but disappointed, which was unbearable, so that in the end, Lu Li had to make an agreement with everyone, "See you on Halloween next year." The curious, enthusiastic, and simple people left contentedly and waited for Halloween next year.

It is gradually becoming known that Cloud Top Ranch has a warm and kind new owner, a funny Asian with an Indiana Jones sense of adventure; People also know that the organic farms and vineyards of Cloud Top Ranch are unique in the whole of Texas, and not only that, Cloud Top Ranch has also begun to breed thoroughbreds; People also know that Top of the Clouds Ranch is a resort, not simply a cowboy experience resort, but a resort that truly allows people to relax and enjoy.

Cloud Peak Ranch began to become famous in the Texas area.

Jiang Lingyu participated in all the renovations of the adventure park throughout the whole process, and gave many ideas, and it seemed that he was even more invested than Lu Li. During the three-day holiday, Jiang Lingyu was a little happy, and soon got along with the friends of the ranch, not only experiencing Halloween, but also trying horseback riding, experiencing turning the soil, participating in boating, and even helping to deliver babies - the pregnant Angus cattle in the ranch were successfully delivered.

On the way to Austin Airport, reluctantly looking at the ranch behind him, Jiang Lingyu looked depressed, and the whole person was not interested, until Lu Li sent out an invitation, "As long as you have a holiday, you are welcome to come over at any time." Jiang Lingyu smiled at this time, and counted his next vacation and his next plan.

Lu Li personally escorted Jiang Lingyu into the security check, and watched her back disappear completely, and then turned around and went home again.

After Halloween, the ranch officially entered the busy farming season, and it was also the harvest season, especially after Brandon officially went home to accompany Jasmin, the manpower was even more urgent, and the whole ranch was busy with his feet on the ground and people turning over on their backs.

On the one hand, the organic farm is starting to be fully prepared for scrutiny by the relevant authorities. This is a long process, the United States of America International Organic Crop Improvement Association (OCIA) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) certification is not so easy to obtain, the association will send experts, from the land to the seeds, from the processing method to the storage process, every link will be supervised and tested, the final product can meet the requirements, but also need to exceed a certain time limit to be certified.

At the same time, it will also need to be regularly inspected in the future to check the quality of organic farms.

Before each crop is put on the market, according to the association's judgment, the packaging bag will be stamped with a stamp indicating the composition of the organic product, and the food safety certification is divided into 100% organic, 95% organic processed products, products containing organic ingredients, and products with less than 75% organic ingredients.

The price varies depending on the certification, and the price of crops that can reach 100% organic will naturally rise.

Of course, to be 100% certified, this also means that there is no room for error; What's more, the whole process is very long, not a month or two months can be completed, and it must not be sloppy.

Randy has already made a plan, waiting for the agency's experts to arrive at the ranch for certification, and then start planting kale step by step, with the agency's certification and audit, if the first batch of kale can be harvested and certified, which is naturally great, but if not, there will be a second batch, and the growth cycle of kale is relatively short, which is a positive.

Once you start, you can't take it lightly, and you have to do your best in every step. Randy's goal is to be 100% organic, and he looks forward to the near future, where organic farms can become the pillars of Cloud Top Ranch.

Randy is not only ambitious, but also highly motivated, and is eager to wait for the audit experts to arrive. Although the work is very trivial and onerous, luckily, Randy has a good helper - Tony. Randy had helped Tony with the vineyard before, and now it was Tony's turn to reciprocate. On the organic farm, there is a thriving scene.

On the other hand, the Leylan sheep in the pasture are in the season of harvesting wool again, and the sheep purchased after Lu Li came to the ranch are now in the time to harvest the wool, and the workload is not trivial, just relying on the original manpower of the ranch, it is almost impossible to complete it in a short time, even with Brandon.

So, Lu Li hired two professional wool harvesters, and it took three days to complete the harvesting of all the wool, as well as post-processing.

Compared with the first half of the year, the amount of wool this time has almost doubled, and the average output of each sheep is about 5.2 kilograms, which is only a lot more, which is good news.

In the last two years, the average wool yield per sheep has hovered around 4.5 to 4.7 kilograms in several other pastures near New Braunfels, and the amount of wool produced has been further reduced due to the decrease in precipitation, which has also made the price of wool rise slowly - after all, compared to the United States, Australia and New Zealand are the real wool producers.

But now, Yunding Ranch has ushered in a rare bumper harvest, and the average wool yield is really amazing.

It can be seen that the long-term nourishment of the space spring water is also effective for the sheep, and the accumulated moisture has once again made great contributions to the progress of Yunding Ranch.

Subsequently, Lu Li contacted the factory that had cooperated with them once before, and was ready to sell all the wool to them again, thanks to the previous cooperation, there were almost no difficulties, and the deal was successfully reached! The ranch also ushered in the first harvest season after Lu Li's acceptance!
