Chapter 558 Farm Corn Harvest

The next day, two large combine harvesters, plus four matching trucks that could move synchronously, had arrived in the cornfield.

Although they did not continue to work in the field yesterday afternoon, the employees of the farm and ranch, under the leadership of the uncle, adjusted the two large harvesters.

In August, the weather is still very hot, although there is some harmony between the yin valley, but at noon and afternoon, working under the sun is still very unbearable.

So as soon as the morning dawned, the farm and ranch employees drove the equipment to the cornfield.

Without much delay, when they arrived in the field, two harvesters, one here and one on the other, began to harvest the corn planted on more than 8,000 acres of land.

More than 8,000 acres, I don't know how long it will take to harvest it completely.

The late summer sun has dried out the ripe corn, including the corn leaves.

The corn leaves withered one by one.

The corn cob, which was wrapped in fruit coating, was instead standing upright, and it was pulled on the corn stalk.

Two harvesters, capable of harvesting twelve rows of corn at a time.

After harvesting a few meters in advance, after stopping and adjusting again, I immediately started to start the horsepower and carry out a rapid harvest.

Rows of corn stalks are swallowed into the belly by the harvester.

Then, in the harvester, the straw is separated, threshed and crushed.

Corn plants have turned into corn kernels and straw residues.

The corn kernels pass through the pipe and are sprayed into the truck bed on the side.

The straw residue is discharged from the tail of the harvester and laid on the ground smoothly.

The huge harvester, a piece of 120 acres to make, did not take an hour.

In an hour's time, after a harvester harvested the first piece of land, it went to the second plot to harvest twenty or thirty acres of land.

This is equivalent to one hour of harvester, which can harvest more than 150 acres of corn.

When a truck with more than 20 tons of corn is filled with harvested corn kernels, it immediately gets out of the harvester and changes to another large truck that has already been prepared.

The truck, loaded with corn kernels, immediately drove towards the silo not far away.

Then they arrive at the drying plant and unload the corn.

Then it's time for the drying plant.

As soon as the large corn kernels were harvested and arrived at the drying plant, the employees who had already prepared them immediately started the equipment and began to manually dry and then store the corn kernels that had not yet dried out.

[In view of the general environment,

Because the weather was so hot, the harvesting team worked for up to eight hours a day.

It started at half past six in the morning and worked until twelve at noon.

Then have lunch, then rest, until after 5 p.m., then continue to work in the field.

In fact, the hot weather did not affect the employees of the harvesting team.

Whether it is a harvester or a truck transporting corn kernels, there is an on-board air conditioner.

So when you work, you don't feel hot.

But people have air conditioners to blow, harvesters and gadgets don't have it, right?

In order to prevent the harvester from being unable to stand the strike due to the high temperature, the harvesting team still has to stop working when the temperature is at its highest all day.

Wait for the temperature to drop in the afternoon before starting work.

However, although it only worked for more than eight hours a day, the corn was harvested quite quickly.

At the end of the day, two harvesters directly harvested more than 2,100 acres of corn.

According to the speed, these more than 8,000 acres of corn fields can be completed in four days.

On this day, in the morning, Chengxin watched the harvester harvest corn and went to the drying plant to take a look.

I didn't go out in the afternoon, hiding in the air-conditioned room and talking to my little daughter-in-law about the video, and brushing up on the video.

The next day, in order to pass the boring time, he took a drone from the farm and ranch to check the growth of crops, and ran to the cornfield to shoot the corn harvest

video of it.

This farm is harvesting crops on a large scale for the first time, and you have to shoot a video to save it, right?

Not only did he save this harvest scene, but Chengxin also cut the video and posted it to his salted fish account.

In the video, Chengxin also showed off to the sailors.

As a rural person born in a rural area, I have some rural household registration, and I have planted 10,000 acres of corn land this year, and now is the time for harvest.

Looking at the truckloads of harvested corn, I feel a sense of accomplishment.

Hell, when he was planting corn, this kid came over to take a look.

During this harvest, except for the time when he was shooting videos, he posed on the tractor and truck, and he didn't dry his hair!

Water friends express deep condemnation of this salted fish, which is almost forgotten, not singing after making money, not doing a proper job in tourism, and now going to agriculture.

Why do you do this, write some songs for them to enjoy?

Some sailors also said, salted fish, don't you still lack a tractor to farm? I drove the tractor thief six, came horizontally, drove the city vertically, and turned around 360 degrees in place.

Uphill and downhill drifts are OK.

Some asked Chengxin, do you grow rice on that farm, and the water friends said that they were so fierce that they built millet.

After reading these comments, Chengxin felt that the sailors who still had remnants of his account were still so funny.

On the third day, Chengxin did not leave the dormitory directly.

He said that in such a hot weather, what are you going out for?

I've watched the harvesting scene and filmed the video, isn't it cool to blow the air conditioner in the house?

On the fourth day, Chengxin still came out.

This morning, more than 8,200 acres of corn fields will be harvested.

After the harvest is completed, the total output of these more than 8,200 mu of corn will be available.

After eleven o'clock, as the harvester swallowed the last bit of corn stalk into its belly, and finally sprayed the corn kernels into the truck container, more than 8,000 acres of corn were officially harvested.

As the last truck loaded with corn kernels passed over the weighbridge, the total yield of wet corn was weighed.

A total of more than 5,330 tons of wet corn kernels were harvested on 8,200 acres of land.

On average, the average harvest per mu is about 0.65 tons, which is about 1,300 catties.

Of course, this is not the end result.

A batch of dried in the early stage.

The wet corn kernels that are harvested in one meal are dried to the national moisture content standard, and this ton of wet corn will reduce the weight by about 18 percent.

So when converted, these more than 8,000 acres of land can harvest a total of about 4,370 tons.

The average yield per mu has reached more than 1,000 catties.

This yield, for the land on the farm, is very good.

Corn is a small piece of land planted in the southern land, and it is good to harvest 1,200 catties of land on one acre of land, which is considered a bumper harvest.

Generally, 800 to 1,000 catties are normal, and 5 or 600 catties are also available.

I heard that a large area of cultivation in the north can reach 12 to 1,500 catties per acre.

The northeast region with fertile land has more than 2,000 catties.

The first planting on the farm and pasture side can reach 1,000 catties, and Chengxin, including Qiu Dingsheng, the factory director, are very satisfied.

The corn harvest in the field does not mean that it is all over.

At the drying field, three shifts a day, at the end of a day, about 800 tons of dried corn kernels can be dried.

More than 5,000 tons of wet corn were only half dried by the time the harvest was completed.

It is not until three days after the harvest that all the harvested corn kernels are dried and stored in the barrels.

More than 8,000 acres of land, harvesting more than 4,370 tons of corn.

At the current corn purchase price, a meal is two cents and a half.

This batch of dried corn can be sold for about 11 million.

Contrast

The income per mu is much less than that of growing potatoes.

But this is also normal, after all, the potato yield is high.
