Chapter 47 [Harvesting Grass]
The scene was very bloody and brutal, and the old Roosevelt, although he had reached the age of his teens, was almost old. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But the combat power is not comparable to these lower-level bison members, so it is still very easy to fight a few small minions. Roosevelt was killed, almost every bison was crippled, and he was also shed without death, and he could no longer do evil and was completely abolished.
After seeing Roosevelt deal with the traitors among his subordinates, Lefu was like a policeman who would only appear after a shootout. Pacify the enraged Roosevelt, and then command the men to helicopter the half-dead bison back to the Bison Valley. Then let the tribal veterinarian heal the injuries of these bison, but don't let them die, or Lefu will be impeached by the tribal elders' council. Although there is no penalty for it? But the damage to his prestige is not something that Lefu is happy to see, after all, these bison have a high status in the bison tribe, and they are protected sacred beasts.
After all the things were dealt with, Lefu personally rode on Bai Mao, took the father and son directly back to the Bison Valley from the top of the ridge, and then secretly returned to the Bailitu space while the idle people were not there, and used a small jade bowl to hit some spatial spiritual springs. To replenish the body of Roosevelt and Baimao, the father and son, this is an extremely precious spatial spiritual spring, even if Roosevelt saw the spatial spiritual spring, he transformed from a majestic king into a pug. Looking at Lefu pitifully, he wanted to taste the delicacy of the space spirit spring again.
In addition to giving some space spirit springs as rewards, he picked a few fresh apples from the apple trees in the space. The father and son, who had made great contributions to the couple, improved their lives, and then returned to the Chieftain's Castle to rest in Roosevelt.
In the past few days, Lefu has been exhausted, and the workload of accepting as many as four or five alpine pastures every day is terrifying, and I need to take a good rest. Have a good meal and a good night's sleep, and the next morning Lefu took the Minister of Agriculture, Hanks, and other officials from the Ministry of Agriculture. I came to the alpine pasture where the thorn grass was first sown, and prepared to use a large harvester to complete the harvesting of thorn grass for the first time.
In the past, due to the condition of the roads, all the autumn harvesting work in the alpine pastures was done by humans. Not only is it inefficient, but by the fall it will exhaust all the cowboys as miserable as dogs. This time, the most primitive state of harvesting has finally been changed, and with a stone road more than five meters wide, any large machine can follow the smooth stone road to an alpine pasture. Even though this alpine pasture reaches an altitude of more than 2,500 meters, it is difficult to overwhelm the drivers of those large harvesters.
Thorn grass has been growing for twelve days in this alpine pasture, and all of them have grown more than thirty centimeters. Harvesting forage standards have been compounded, and this harvesting of thorn grass has started the history of the use of large machinery in the alpine pastures of the entire Bison Tribe. Since then, it has bid farewell to the low-level production method of manual labor, so it has not only attracted the high-level of the entire tribe to the site to test how effective the harvester is. It also attracted many tribal people to the alpine pasture to see the excitement, the main thing is to see what is the difference between machinery and artificial.
The 650-acre pasture was harvested from the thorn grass, and the alpine reservoirs were used to build the pastures for the winter. After the area of the cowboys' houses, warehouses and other artificial facilities, all 600 acres were planted with thorn grass and an abundant irrigation system to irrigate the water. There was also Le Fu who secretly discarded the amount of comparison recorded according to the dust in those cisterns, and released a large amount of spatial spiritual springs to nourish these thorn grasses.
The thorn grass grows quickly and lushly, and at first glance it is a particularly tenacious pasture species, with an area of 600 acres is not a small number. So ten large lawn mowers were used, and each mower was working at full power to achieve ten acres per hour. Ten lawn mowers work an hour on 100 acres, and it takes six hours to harvest the entire pasture with thorn grass to complete today's workload.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, all the high-ranking tribes gathered, and Lefu gave an order to form a long snake array harvester line. Ten harvesters were at full power, and the thirty-centimeter-tall thorn grass fell down one by one like wheat. After three days of roasting in the sun, the harvested thorn grass will be wrapped in bundles of grass by a large baling machine, and then stored in a hay warehouse for cattle and sheep for the winter.
Everyone will definitely have doubts, Qoros forage retains 25% of the moisture, which is equivalent to a semi-dry state, and is stacked into forage bales in the warehouse. The center of the grass will rot with heat, and then the entire pasture in the warehouse will be infected, so that the heat-rotten grass cannot be used to feed livestock. It will make the livestock sick, and there is no other way to destroy the rotten ones, or burn them to turn them into agricultural fertilizer, or discard them in the biogas digester to produce biogas and biogas residue.
Everyone is right to think so, but that day, the standard of forage drying can only be maintained at about 10% to be a qualified product. These standards are the same as ordinary forage grass, or alfalfa grass, but thorn grass is originally a new variety, and the nourishment of the spatial spiritual spring has already changed the genetic organization of the grass itself. In fact, 50% of the water is maintained, and when the grass is half-dry, it will not produce a state of central fermentation, mold and rot.
Not to mention that only 25% of the water is retained, and 25% of the water is retained, so that the softness and hardness of the grass are moderate. It is more palatable and stronger, cattle and sheep also love to eat this, and it is easy to digest and absorb the nutrients in the pasture when they eat it in the stomach. The ability to retain 25% of the water is the result of testing by experts from the Ministry of Agriculture.
After an hour of working at full capacity on all the large harvesters, the yield of the forage was finally reported. Thorn grass yields a staggering 1 million kilograms of fresh grass per acre, or 100 tons if converted into tons, which is more than 10 times higher than the so-called king of forage. The increase in hay yields was carried out again, and the yield of dry forage with 75% of the water removed reached 25 tons of hay per acre.
If this is calculated, one acre of alfalfa, the king of grass, can raise five beef cattle. And thorn grass is more than ten times the yield of ordinary alfalfa? At this rate, one acre of thorn grass produces enough fresh grass to raise more than 50 adult beef cattle without any problems. It is also possible to breed 200 Boer goats, and thorn grass is harvested more than ten times more often than ordinary alfalfa.
Dry grass can be harvested ten times a year on an acre of pasture, often up to 250 tons. But at least the 250 tonnes of dry forage is enough to cover the needs of 10,000 cattle in a month, and these are conservative estimates. It has already scared everyone out of their hearts, which is terrifying, with these thorn grasses, 100,000 acres of alpine pastures can raise more than 500,000 cattle on a scale of more than 500,000 heads. The annual slaughter volume of more than 200,000 can be guaranteed, and how much return 200,000 Limousin beef cattle should have, and how much money can be earned is crazy to think about.
