Qin Yi nodded, the Angus cow is indeed not tall, up to the waist of a person.

"How many years has the alfalfa grass grown in the pasture?"

Qin Yi sorted out the information, alfalfa is a perennial forage grass, with wide adaptability, can grow in various terrain, soil characteristics, can generally grow for more than ten years, 6 years after sowing the best growth, is one of the Montana planting area of several kinds of grass. This forage has a high nutritional value and high yield, and is an important source of income for pastures after harvesting silage or hay meal for sale in winter.

"The current alfalfa grass has been growing for 8 years and can be used for two years, but this year's drought has affected the pasture, although there is a sun river, it is somewhat affected."

Qin Yi looked at the stems and leaves of the alfalfa grass, and then squatted down to pick up the leaves to look at the grass roots.

"Ryan, when is the best time to replant grass seeds?"

"You can do it now, or you can wait for spring sowing, and it is enough for alfalfa grass seeds to grow up in more than ten days, but it is not suitable to re-sow now, and the drought may affect the growth of seedlings." Ryan saw that the boss had the idea of replanting the grass, and it was not surprising that the current grass would grow worse and worse in the future, and if the grass was replanted, this year and next year would be the best, because the cattle were now small, easy to place, and had little work.

Qin Yi didn't say anything, and secretly made a decision in his heart.

Next, without saying anything about replanting pasture, Qin Yi learned from the cowboy to wave the horsewhip lightly and drive the cattle to change pastures. Looking at the alfalfa on the grassland that was eaten by the cattle and had a small part of the branches and leaves, Qin Yi was a little curious, how many days will it take to recover, ask Ryan.

"Three or four days, in the past, when the herd was large, they usually came to graze every three or four days. Now I can't eat so much, only a small part is set aside for grazing, and the rest is harvested into forage. Speaking of harvesting, Ryan pointed to the direction of Rocky Mountain and the farm with his horsewhip, "It's the pasture in these two directions, depending on the growth of the pasture, and it will be harvested once every twenty to thirty days." ”

Harvesting grass, Qin Yi was very interested, of course, he was interested in those large lawn mowers, Qin Yi had seen the domineering appearance before, and said to Ryan with great anticipation: "How long will it take to harvest the grass?" I'll go see the next harvest. ”

As soon as Ryan saw Qin Yi's expression, he knew what he had in mind, indeed, the large lawn mower has a domineering appearance, complete functions, satellite positioning and automatic driving, and the cab also has audio and drinks, when harvesting grass, as long as the parameters are set, the driver can easily listen to music and drinks, which saves a lot of effort than small and medium-sized lawn mowers, not only Qin Yi is interested, most people want to drive.

Ryan smiled: "I'll go over tomorrow to see the growth, but I want to wait a few days, and I'll tell you in advance when the time comes." ”

Walking and talking, we soon arrived at another meadow. The cows graze freely, and a few cowboys ride horses and cattle dogs around to prevent the cattle from getting too far away from the herd. Throughout the afternoon, Qin Yi followed the herding and chatted with a few cowboys, the atmosphere was relaxed and the relationship was much closer. When he returned to the main house in the evening, Qin Yi didn't cook, so he went to the warehouse first to get some alfalfa grass seeds, and then returned to the bedroom to enter the space.

When I came to the apple tree, the ground cleared yesterday was bare, this time the fruit was not ripe, and yesterday's vegetable seedlings were still piled aside, but there was no need to clean it again. Qin Yi directly sprinkled the alfalfa grass seeds on the ground, watched the alfalfa grass grow suddenly, didn't rush out, and waited directly for him to blossom and bear fruit and the seeds mature.

After a while, the wheat-sized seeds finally matured and fell all over the ground, which Qin Yi didn't expect, so he hurriedly went out, ran to the warehouse and took out the broom and basket, went back to the space and worked for a while, and finally finished cleaning up, seeing that the small basket was full, Qin Yi weighed it, and there had to be forty or fifty catties.

Almost, let's plant it first and see how this improved grass grows.

drove out the F150 Ford pickup, loaded the shovel and basket into the car, and put a bucket on it, Qin Yi didn't delay, and drove to the depths of the ranch with a fire. When it came to the place where the grazing was in the afternoon, Qin Yi stopped, went to the back seat and picked up the bucket back to the driver's seat, entered the space, and after a while, Qin Yi came out with a bucket of spiritual spring water. I got out of the car again, grabbed a handful of pasture seeds and sprinkled them in the pasture, sprinkled a little spiritual spring water, and suddenly the seeds germinated and swelled, and the original alfalfa grass absorbed the spiritual spring water and the growth was also accelerated.

However, in the end, there is no space for the improved seeds to be fast, and in a few minutes, the seedlings grow, and they grow taller than the old grass, the leaves are large and thick, and they are soft and fleshy to touch.

It seems that the quality of the improved seeds is significantly better.

Qin Yi sprinkled a little more spiritual spring water, and the improved forage grass blossomed and bore fruit after a while, only the old forage grass only had more buds, seeing this situation, Qin Yi knew that the old alfalfa grass could not compete with the improved forage, and most of the spiritual spring water was absorbed by the improved forage.

In fact, in the underground that Qin Yi could not see, the roots of the improved grass were also undergoing huge changes. First of all, the roots have become thicker and deeper into the ground, so that the improved grass can get more water than the old grass, and the current drought has little effect. Maybe after a few days, the old grass will have no room to live, and it will slowly be robbed of water by the new grass and become dry!

Another change, if it were during the day, Qin Yi might have noticed that the roots of the improved alfalfa grass extended far away, breaking out of the ground to generate plants, with the plants grown from seeds as the center, and many side plants growing around, it seemed that there would be no need for so many improved seeds in the future, and they would be able to grow all over the pasture.

After a while, the mature seeds fell to the ground, and Qin Yi sprinkled the spiritual spring water again, and the seeds began to repeat the phenomenon that Qin Yi had observed just now. Make a mark in the detailed pasture map on the mobile phone, so that it is easy to find a place for watering later, Qin Yi drove into the car with satisfaction, changed the grassland and continued to plant improved grass seeds

After working for a few hours, Qin Yi's physical strength also felt tired, fortunately, the seeds cultivated this time were planted, and he could rest, on the way back, Qin Yi calculated, a bucket of water a night, and watering it every three or five days, a month can almost cover the current pasture.

Qin Yi was very happy, he had designed a big plan when he had laid out the Shennongjia fruit trees before, and the first stage was divided into three steps.

Buy ranch, this has been successfully implemented; improved pastures; Now it is being implemented, and the third step can be carried out after the improvement is completed, and then the second stage, of course, the second stage is still far away, so don't think about it too much, hurry home and cook, it's almost 12 o'clock at night.

After a busy day's work, Qin Yi took a bath and went to sleep after eating a little. At 6 o'clock the next morning, Qin Yi got up on time, after all, his physique and mental strength were there, and he recovered after resting.

Buddy gets up so early, there are not many young people in China, the old man and the old lady will be so early, but people are exercising and maintaining health in the morning, we are working, or we can't compare with buddies, haha, we are hardworking young people! After Qin Yi finished washing, he looked at the handsome guy in the mirror, grinned at him, turned around and went to the living room to pick up his cowboy hat and went out.

What the? Raippi, you say? People are sleeping lazily, and now they can't get up at this point, Qin Yi is worried that if he is thrown into the wild now, this fat guy who is used to enjoying will not be able to survive.

Within two minutes of coming to the horse farm, Ricky was already brushing the horse, this girl is really good, she can get up early every day. Qin Yi said hello to Rui Qi'er, and took out Xiao Hei to brush the horse, Xiao Hei's head rubbed Qin Yi's arm, and looked at him with big eyes.

"What's the matter, you didn't miss me all night?" Qin Yi touched the horse's face, a little puzzled.

"Poof!"

Rui Qi'er couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard Qin Yi's words on the side, "Yi, Xiao Hei wants carrots!" Horses like to eat carrots in the morning. ”

Qin Yi touched his nose, a little speechless, he thought he was thinking about himself, wasting his feelings!

"Well, I really don't know, I don't have carrots there, I'll go and plant some in the vegetable patch in the morning."

"I brought a carrot, this is for Xiao Hei, you take it and feed it!" Ricky looked like she had expected it and took out a carrot from the small warehouse.

In fact, it's no wonder that I just learned to ride a horse and haven't been in contact with it before, so it's normal to not know, and it is not necessary to eat if I like to eat, and it is nothing if I don't feed it, of course, feeding can better cultivate feelings with horses.

Qin Yi took the compliment: "Thank you, Rui Qi'er, you are such a careful girl!" ”

Rui Qi'er accepted Qin Yi's praise with a smile, and went to brush the horse seriously.

After feeding Xiao Hei, Qin Yi also began to brush the horse, first with a hard brush and then a soft brush, and finally dried it, put on the saddle sweat pad or something, rode Xiao Hei and slipped around twice, ran until he sweated, let Xiao Hei eat grass, and went back to cook by himself. After breakfast at 7 o'clock, I was about to ride Xiao Hei to see the improved pasture, the phone rang, and I picked it up to see that it was Ye Fang, this guy may not be idle again!

Qin Yi smiled and shook his head to connect the phone: "Third child, what's the matter?" ”

"Xiao Yizi got up? It's early! Ye Fang's loud voice was very penetrating, and Qin Yi hurriedly took the phone away.

"I got up at 6 o'clock, the air in the morning has an excessive content of negative oxygen ions, and I can still ride a horse and gallop freely, and it is a waste to sleep lazy!"

"It's only been a few days to be able to ride a horse and gallop freely, buddy, you're not busy, I'll go over to play for a few days if you're not busy, I used to ride horses in the horse farm, how can there be a prairie to come to be refreshing!" Ye Fang smiled, and when he mentioned playing, he was very energetic.

"It's nothing busy, it's not a matter of the short term, when you come over, I'll pick you up."

Improving pasture grass and changing farms to pastures are not things that can be fruitful in the short term.

"In a few days, I'll arrange to call you. Did you call the eldest and second over there? ”

Qin Yi thought for a moment, he really should make a call, it would be better to play with Ye Fang this time, "Not yet, I'll call later." ”

"Then it's nothing, you make a list of the delicious and fun things on the ranch, I'll come one by one, haha!" After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Qin Yi shook his head, what to eat? Fruits and vegetables are good, of course, beef is not very good now, and the fun is horseback riding, fishing, boat trips on the Sun River, and by the way, maybe you can also see wild white-tailed deer and birds. Speaking of white-tailed deer and birds, Qin Yi thought of hunting again, and forgot, he hadn't been to the gun shop for a few days, this was Montana, a large area of pastures, and gray wolves and brown bears, but it was not good to protect himself without a gun!

Come on, I'll go to Augusta tomorrow.

called Wang Xixi and Fang Yue, telling them that they had won the jackpot in Shennongjia, and the United States bought a ranch and let them come to play, both of them expressed all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred, but they couldn't come recently, they had to work, and they planned to organize a group to fight local tyrants during the National Day.

Qin Yi showed a look of underplay, and welcomed the two of them to come quickly. An hour of chatting and farting passed, and after hanging up the phone, Qin Yi went out to find Xiao Hei and rode to see the improved pasture.
