"Ahh

When I opened my eyes, it turned out that Michelle was holding the long hair on the tip of the tail of the mustache and inserting it into her nostrils.

"What time is it?" Liu Yunxuan asked in a daze, yesterday when the three cows and the three calves were cleaned up, the sky was bright.

"It's already more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and my aunt said to call you up, spirits, good dinner." Michelle said.

I didn't expect to sleep for so long, Liu Yunxuan thought to himself, this is three cows, if there are more calves in the future, how can I be busy.

"Are you done with today's work?" Liu Yunxuan sat up, stretched his waist and asked Michelle.

"Now I can only work outdoors in the morning and evening, the weather is too hot, the highest time is over 1oo degrees Fahrenheit, and it looks like this year's drought is going to be prolonged." Michelle said listlessly.

Every summer, Texas has different dry periods, but this year's dry season is likely to be extended. The current rainfall is less than 40% of that of previous years, and some meteorologists predict that the drought could last until mid-to-late August, and if that is the case, it will be a drought.

"It's a good thing there's a small lake in the middle of our two ranches." Liu Yunxuan said happily.

"It's not going to be very good, and the lake is going down more than two feet today. This was not the case in previous years. "Michelle is not as optimistic as Liu Yunxuan, and it is okay at present, which is still more precipitation in the eastern region. If it continues, it really won't be good.

Liu Yunxuan has been busy these days, but he didn't expect the drought to be so severe.

Liu Yunxuan looked out of the window through the window, the grass was all wilted, and there was no wind outside. Fortunately, the grass has not yet died of drought.

After washing his face, he followed Michelle downstairs and saw Alan sitting there talking to his parents.

Some people say it's hard to learn English, but the environment is important. Liu's father and Liu's mother, in order to communicate with their in-laws, have been able to have some simple daily conversations during the time they have been in the United States. At least the two sides are chatting happily now.

"Andy, congratulations, you've got three more calves on your ranch." Alan congratulated Liu Yunxuan when he saw him go downstairs.

"Thank you, Alan. I just heard Michelle say that the drought in Texas this year is very severe? Liu Yunxuan first thanked Allen, and then asked.

Referring to the drought, Allen also officially said, "Yes, Andy, this year's drought has lasted too long. Some cities in western and southern Texas are now limiting their water supply. And now the price of beef and wheat has risen a lot."

"Isn't that great, wouldn't our ranches and farms make more money," Liu Yunxuan said. There are still many farms in Texas that grow wheat.

"No, Andy, it's not what you think." Alan took a sip of coffee, shook his head, and said, "Most of the beef is in the hands of those meat product companies. The price they pay when they buy from ranchers is not that high. ”

"The price of wheat has gone up a bit, but this year the rainfall is very low after Christmas. The yield of wheat is very bad, in fact, at current prices, the income is much lower than every year. ”

"If the drought continues like this, I think a lot of ranchers will go bankrupt."

Liu Yunxuan didn't expect the result to be like this, it seems that being a rancher in the United States is also very risky.

"By the way, Alan, if your pasture is not good, you can come to me and cut some grass, anyway, I don't have enough cattle now. Liu Yunxuan said that his pasture is good for the body of the cattle, even if the amount of activity is smaller, it has no effect, and he does not want his father-in-law to cry when he sells cattle in the future.

"Andy, even if you don't mention it, I'll tell you. Where our pastures meet, some of the grass is mixed together. The cattle that eat grass there now are very refreshed even on such a hot day. The cattle on the other patch of grass were much worse. I'm thinking of buying some grass seeds with you next year. Hearing Liu Yunxuan mention the grass, Alan said happily.

"Otherwise, when the weather is cool, you can bring the cattle to my side to graze, and when the drought is over, you will replant some of my pasture." Liu Yunxuan thought for a while and said.

Listening to Liu Yunxuan taking the initiative to help his family solve the problem, Michelle's heart was sweet, and her eyes were also full of brilliance.

"Andy, you can specialize in cultivating grass in the future. Your pasture is good and will definitely sell for a good price. You can choose another ranch to raise cattle. "Allen is not satisfied with Liu Yunxuan now, he is completely his own person.

"I want to, too, but it's too far away to manage, and there's nothing suitable around us." Liu Yunxuan also had a headache when he mentioned this, his funds were ready, but there was no suitable pasture. I've called Dillanke myself, and there's no good news from his side.

"Andy, what do you think of our neighbor Grizzly Bear Ranch? Can you eat it? Alan thought for a moment and said.

Grizzly Bear Ranch Liu Yunxuan has the impression that it is a large ranch, over 5ooo acres of land, this price will not be cheap.

"That ranch is too big, I'm afraid I can't eat such a big ranch, and as you said, the price of beef has risen this year. Behind the Grizzly Bear Ranch are large companies in New York, which have strong capital to reduce their holdings for a while. Liu Yunxuan said after thinking for a while.

"You may not know that their parent company is in financial trouble." Alan took a sip of coffee and said mysteriously.

"Oh, Alan, this should be a very confidential matter, how do you know that?" Liu Yunxuan asked curiously.

"You should go out and talk to the cowboys when you're fine." "I just heard a couple of cowboys from Grizzly Bear Ranch chatting at a cowboy bar. ”

"At the beginning of each month, someone from their parent company comes over to inspect the grizzly bear ranch, and now there are two times in a row that no one has come. I think you can see what that means. ”

"That's great news." Liu Yunxuan said happily, but not long after he was happy, he said with some frustration, "But my funds are a lot worse." ”

The funds that I can mobilize in the United States are more than 4oo US dollars, and the domestic side can now squeeze out another 1oo US dollars, which is sky-high, but the price of grizzly bear ranch is still much different.

"Andy, if you take over the Grizzly Bear Ranch, will you be able to keep the ranch running? You know, the quality of the grass on their side is worse now. The water for irrigation in the field is simply not enough for grass to grow. Alan asked.

Liu Yunxuan thought about it for a while, it should not be a big problem to maintain the growth of forage, he has space for water, although the area is large, but he mixes it in, and it is no problem to maintain it.

"It should be about the same, you can temporarily cut some from here and take turns feeding those cattle and sheep."

"Then things are much easier, have you ever thought about taking out a loan to take this ranch?" Alan asked.

Hearing Allen's words, the corners of Liu Yunxuan's mouth twitched, taking out a loan to buy such a large ranch, at least $150,000 or more. Let's not talk about whether the bank dares to lend so much to itself, it is a question whether the bank dares to lend to itself or not.

"Allen, with such a large amount of money, can the bank get through?" Liu Yunxuan asked worriedly.

"Anyway, if you have confidence in the ranch's business, we can always give it a try. Even if we don't have a guò, we have nothing to lose, and if we do, you'll have a great harvest in the coming year, won't you? Alan said indifferently.

Liu Yunxuan thought about it for a while, it seems that he can really do it, just like Allen said, no matter what the result is, it will not be harmful to himself.
