Chapter 404: Vegetable Harvest Season
* Greetings are hot, blessings are fragrant, the wind is cold, I wish you no worries! Happy New Year's Day, big guys!
The affairs of the vegetable garden are all handed over to Susie, production, harvesting, packaging, sales, it can be said that in addition to the financial power, she is responsible for the rest of the work!
Qin Yi didn't care about these things, only Susa and Kolo would occasionally go over to take a look, which could be regarded as the supervision of the vegetable garden.
Although there is no need to ask, there is always a debriefing on things.
In the past few days, he has also heard Susie mention that the first batch of vegetables on the farm are basically melons, fruits, stems and leaves, and they can harvest more than 100,000 pounds.
This yield is not very high.
Because of the need to certify organic vegetables from the Ministry of Agriculture, the planting density of vegetables is relatively small, coupled with fine management, no pesticides, no chemical fertilizers, only organic fertilizer fermented by pasture cow dung, so there is a big gap between the yield and those cheap vegetables.
In fact, this yield can be achieved because there is a water source irrigation that dilutes the spiritual spring water, otherwise, I am afraid that this yield will not be reached!
However, it also happens that the certification of organic vegetables also has requirements for yield, if the yield is too high, the Ministry of Agriculture will generally not pass the organic certification, this regulation seems to be a bit strange, but it is also to ensure the quality of the product.
This batch of vegetables has basically been booked out, but it is not possible to harvest it all at once, so many vegetables, is a lot of work.
In the past few days, after Susie consulted Qin Yi, she recruited dozens of temporary workers at a price of eighty dollars a day, most of whom were housewives with leisure in Augusta Town.
These boring and gossipy women are the disseminators of gossip on weekdays, and they often play a less glamorous role.
Often spreading rumors, how can it be glorious, of course. Everyone's mind is not bad, it can only be said that it is too boring!
But for the Sun River Ranch, for Qin Yi's family, these housewives have to praise a few words, because of Qin Yi. Jobs and income for too many people in the town!
Therefore, with tangible benefits, who would say bad things about Qin Yi!
Augusta, like other Montana towns, is a typical farming and animal husbandry town, and the standard of living seems to be good, but in fact, most people have little savings in their hands.
But nowadays, tourism is booming in Augusta, bringing jobs to a lot of people. It has also increased the income of many families, which is a good development prospect, and it is definitely a good year for the town!
Even many people in the town proposed to award Qin Yi a special medal for the town at the end of the year to commemorate his contribution to the development of the town!
Well, medals are not medals, housewives don't care too much. What they want to praise the most is the job opportunities provided to them by Sun River Ranch!
Just like this vegetable harvest. The housewives are heartily grateful.
The salary is one thing, but most importantly, Sunriver Ranch provides them with the opportunity to earn money with their own hands, instead of staying at home all day worrying about making ends meet, or getting together to chew on the root of their tongue!
They also have small things that they like. I also want to buy a small gift for the children, not to mention these, even if it is just to buy more vegetables for the family, it is also a very face-saving thing!
So, if there is a serious opportunity to make money. No one wants to miss out.
And now, Sun River Ranch, which provides them with opportunities, has naturally won their support.
This is also Qin Yi's purpose.
In the United States, capitalists do stand at the top of society, but at the same time, it is also a relatively democratic and legal country.
Therefore, if you want to develop steadily and in the long term, you must win the support of local residents. And if you want to gain the support of others, you must bring certain benefits to others, this is what Qin Yi has always thought.
For now, he's on the right track, as evidenced by Sunriver Ranch's reputation at Augusta.
Regardless of this, it is said that the reserve price of this batch of vegetables scheduled for sale is set at $50 a pound, which is almost a few million dollars in revenue!
Susa and Kolo were shocked when they saw this approximate number before, growing a piece of vegetable has millions of dollars?
It's too easy to get this money!
But if you think about it, it's not outrageous, after all, the reserve price of vegetables is there, and the 1,000-acre vegetable garden, this continuous vegetable planting area, is counted in the surrounding towns!
However, the two girls still sighed.
Susa remembered that when she ran the farm, she was happy to save $10,000 a year, but now, not to mention vegetables, tourism can bring in more than $300,000 a month!
In addition, there are more than a dozen franchised farms such as Walker Farm and Jones Farm, and each farm can also provide a share ranging from one to thirty thousand dollars per month!
These small farms that follow the meat can be said to be die-hard members of the Sun River Ranch!
But sighing and sighing, I am also happy and happy in my heart, well, this is all the credit of her man!
Kolo also feels like this, thinking about making movies before, he was tired and tired, and he has only been paid millions in recent years, but Qin Yi simply planted a vegetable, and when he harvested a crop, he casually put millions into his account
People are really incomparable!
At that time, Kolo's eyes were full of adoration when he looked at Qin Yi, and let this guy hug her and kiss her a few times!
In the morning, Qin's mother warmed the buns, a few slices of lettuce and some shredded pickles per person, plus freshly ground soy milk, so that everyone could eat very comfortably.
After the meal, each of them nibbled on half an apple, and after Walker brought Becky in, they went to the vegetable garden together, where Susie was making a final deal with the purchasing staff who had arrived last night.
Qin Yi's family is going to go, Betsy and Sara are two sisters, a pickup truck can't sit, and GMC is not suitable for running around on the farm, so Qin Yi drove a tractor trailer and drove towards the farm abruptly.
This kind of board car, other people have sat many times, but Qin's mother is a little strange, I didn't expect that in this country where everything is beautiful, she can still run around in a board car, plus the surrounding idyllic scenery, which reminded her of the busy scene in the farmland of her hometown, and she was in a trance for a while.
Think about the past, you still have to work in the fields under the scorching sun, and there is nothing to say about the hardship, but now, you can enjoy endless blessings every day!
It's only been a few years, how can it change so much?
In a trance, Qin's mother felt a little unreal
"Grandma!"
Angel's call woke up the distracted Mother Qin, and she laughed at herself in her heart: Some of the blessings, and those who think about this and that all day long, are just a hard life, and they are simply full of food!
"What's wrong, Angel?" Mother Qin smiled and took the little girl's little hand, holding it and not wanting to let go, this is her baby!
"Grandma, do you want to ride in a calf cart? Little Flower Cow and Little Black Cow are the best at pulling carts, it's fun! The little girl smiled and invited.
It's also because of today's ride on the cart, which makes her remember that she hasn't taken Xiaohuaniu and Xiaoheniu to play together for a long time, and it just so happens that grandma hasn't been in an ox cart yet, so she plays with grandma!
Betsy also nodded her little head: "Little Flower Cow and Little Black Cow are very well-behaved!" We can still race the calves, grandma, do you want to play together? ”
Race the calf, Qin's mother knows that she has seen it on the farm before, and many tourists like to play this.
Now that she received the invitation of the girls, she was naturally willing to play with them, so Qin's mother agreed with the little girls that when she returned to the ranch in the afternoon, she would go to ride the ox cart and race the calves, which made the girls clap their hands and look forward to it.
The adults laughed and watched, several of them had played this game and accompanied the girls!
Regardless, the little girls were comforting to share their fun.
The tractor came to the farm suddenly, and it didn't take long to come to the farm, and they didn't see Susie and them in the living area, and they asked Hobbes to find out that those buyers arrived at the farm, and they didn't even have time to drink a cup of coffee, and ran directly to the vegetable field!
Okay, Qin Yi took everyone on the tractor again, and suddenly rushed to the ground, but there was more curious Hobbs in the team, this guy drove a quad bike, and followed him to watch! (To be continued.) )
