Chapter 402: Xinghua Native Chicken
Yesterday I drank coffee codeword, I couldn't sleep all night, I opened a bottle of wine at nine o'clock when I was too uncomfortable, and it was already night when I woke up! Don't be afraid, I'll write all night! There is an update at half past six in the morning, everyone wake up and see!
……
Here's the thing.
Tang Hai's plan for Rose Farm is a high-end route, and it can be as high as it can be, and he knows too well what the chain reaction will be once something becomes 'high-end'.
To take the simplest example, the prices of the three major staple grains in China fell sharply last year, and the average price of corn fell by 20%.
Many laymen don't know what the concept is, and think that the corn that costs 2 yuan in the market becomes 1 yuan 6, and it seems that there is still a ......
In fact, the price of corn purchased by many grain bases is less than 4 cents, and last year it was 3 cents and 5 cents in many places.
The purchase price of rice and wheat has plummeted, and the selling price of 10 acres of land products for ordinary farmers can reach 8,000, of which 6,000 is actually a variety of consumption costs, and agricultural economist Lao Ma said that the average annual income of an acre of land was more than 80 yuan, and last year's grain purchase price fell to more than 30 yuan, a drop of more than 50 yuan, and the loss of peasants in the whole country can reach a total of 100 billion yuan......
In fact, the figures are not so exaggerated, just like the optimistic estimate of the number of wealthy people in the country by the president of a bank, Lao Ma also made overly pessimistic calculations in order to make people pay attention to agriculture.
But in fact, Lao Ma's starting point is very correct, that is, the cost of primitive agriculture and small-scale peasant economy is too high, and the interest rate is too low.
A farm with too low an evaluation of 4 cents for an egg will have 3 cents for the cost and 1 cent for the profit, while in fact, the cost of an egg for a high-end farm can reach 1 cent. The profit is 7 cents, which is 7 times. Of course, this is not an exact number. Prices vary from place to place, but the reason is the same.
Not only qualitative improvement can increase revenue rapidly. The increase in quantity can also make the yield difference between genetically modified corn and non-transgenic corn several times, and the cost is actually about the same.
Tang Hai has already made up his mind to make it high-quality and delicious, instead of taking the GMO route, so the forage grass of Rose Farm must have high-quality farm fertilizer to assist the growth of soil microorganisms, so cow dung is the first choice.
The unabsorbed forage in the cow manure will be eaten by the chickens, and the chickens will run around, and the chicken manure will become the top organic fertilizer with the forage that has been fermented by the intestinal bacteria again, so that the chickens will run away. Where it will be more fertile, it will be stronger than simply rotating seeds.
Like human poop, it can't work, Tang Hai doesn't know how they did it with the deep fermentation technology on Lao Mei's side, but Tang Hai himself definitely can't do it, once the technology can't be reached, it is illegal to do this. Like high-temperature composting, fermentation of bacterial fertilizer starter culture, etc., Tang Hai knows that the technology is the lowest, at least three or five levels higher than him, and Lao Mei is legal in this era.
The fermentation of poop is the last link in the material cycle of the biosphere. Animals are fine, but improper handling by humans will have a direct impact on humans, for example, many liver diseases are easily affected by sewage sources, so the management is very strict. Many people in the United States have AIDS and lung disease, so they go to check if they have nothing to do. But liver disease is basically not a concern, and this is the effect of high-end fecal treatment.
Tang Hai also learned later that there are big companies in New York every day. Every household in the countryside has large tanks and drums, and every week there are manure farmers hired by large companies to collect them.
Damn it. The United States even has giant companies?
Tang Hai suddenly realized the cruelty of this world that day......
Tang Haigang told Jennifer about his pasture, cows, and chickens. Jennifer was silent for a long time......
"Boss, chickens can eat grass directly! Many chicken breeds are marked as grass chickens to sell! The fermentation depth of chickens is not enough, but the spread range is very large, and it is not difficult to raise two or three thousand chickens! ”
Tang Hai suddenly felt a kind of crushing in IQ, and he forgot about China's free-range chickens!
Old-fashioned agriculture is no longer profitable, farming is like this, chickens are also raised, and the price of free-range chickens, or eggs, is more than twice that of old-fashioned farming.
Tang Hai also wanted to import chicken breeds from China, and Jennifer said that there were large farms in Nebraska that raised Chinese chickens, and that she could try to contact them.
Tang Hai tried to contact it, last year a breeding company made a 100,000 local chicken breeding plan, and now the third generation has come out, but there are some problems with the market, Tang Hai really can't buy them!
Tang Hai ordered 400 hens and 1,500 chicks, 100 roosters, and hired two technicians for takeout......
The other party asked him if he wanted organic feed.
Only then did Tang Hai know that Lao Mei's 'organic chickens' were also fed feed, not purely free-range, but the feed was different from the general.
Domestic forage and grass chicken mixed breeding, generally one acre of land with 400 grass chickens, planting some grass, and planting chrysanthemums and purslane and the like.
Tang Hai simply let people circle another 5 acres of land to raise the 2,000 chickens, and the chicken coop has not been done well, but there are many simple shacks and haystacks that can be used as temporary chicken coops, and the chickens have been sent.
When Tang Hai feels that he needs to apply fertilizer to change the geology of the farm, he can collect chicken manure artificially, or he can open the chicken farm to let the chickens out, and they will come back on their own anyway.
Rose called Tang Hai to tell Tang Hai that the chicks had arrived, and she seemed to like those little things very much.
When Tang Hai arrived at Rose's farm, Rose's family of three was busy unloading the cage with some employees, and as soon as the cage was opened, all kinds of chickens flew out with a scream......
The big was nervous for a while before settling down and striding with his head held high.
A chubby and strong female technician smiled and said to Tang Hai: "This is the introduction of Chinese Xinghua native chicken, which has strong adaptability and is very healthy!" The hens have been screened, and there is absolutely no hen that can eat eggs! These chicks are healthy too! ”
As long as the big rooster settles down, the hen will settle down, and the fluffy chicks who are released out of the cage are chirping, and they have found the hens themselves......
"Don, these chicks are going to find their mother! I once heard a story about a wise man who made it difficult for him to tell which chick was the hen's child, and then he learned to call an eagle, and the chick found its mother on its own! You see, how well organized they are! Rose squatted on the ground to touch a fluffy little yellow chicken, but the other party ran away and hid in the arms of an old hen, who was already very fat, and was round after holding a bunch of chicken cubs, glaring at Rose, the person who wanted to move the baby chicken.
Tang Hai looked at a bunch of little yellow chickens, his face was full of smiles, and he remembered what happened when he was a child.
At that time, there was electricity in the house, but the whole family was reluctant to use electricity for lighting.
Mom didn't know where to get a box of chickens, the carton box was loaded, and another cardboard box was set outside, and the light bulb was enlarged between the two boxes to keep the chicks warm at night.
At night, the mother and son squatted beside the box and watched, oh, the mother and son three, and the younger brother Zhenguo.
Mom said that when the chickens grow up, Tang Hai and Zhenguo will have eggs to eat, and the brothers liked the little chickens at that time, often touching and playing, holding a handful of grass or catching a few locusts to feed the chickens, which is not forgotten every day.
Now that there are so many local chickens running around, Tang Hai suddenly thinks of the happiness he had when he was a child.
But listen to Rose......
"The hen can't recognize which one is her child, and the chick can't recognize the mother, the story is actually a lie!" Tang Hai smiled and touched his pocket, there was a round white thing, which was just taken by the grouse farm, Tang Hai was going to fry it just now and went to eat it.
Gently place this thing on the haystack.
A very calm big hen surrounded by a circle of babies, it saw the white egg, seemed to be puzzled, and then walked over and squatted down......
"See, haha!" Tang Hai said with a smile.
Rose looked unhappy.
Tang Hai was about to take the eggs away, but the hen stinged his hand like crazy and chased him for a long distance!
"Ouch! Can't take it out! It recognized me as an egg thief! I can't even recognize the egg, but I can actually recognize me! Tang Hai couldn't get close several times, and he was stunned!
"This is motherly love! Although it's dumber! Rose was happy again.
"By the way, you got the chili you bought!" Rose said again.
