I collect gold fingers in the heavens

Chapter 84
in 1974.

Nearly half of the land in Chilechuan Ranch is planted with alfalfa.

Of course, except for the original planting area, the alfalfa seeds in other places are all second-generation seeds cultivated, and the planting effect is only 4%, but even so, under theoretical conditions, the yield can be increased by more than [-] times.

Of course, theories are theories, and the actual situation is not always so ideal.

That year, Wu Siyuan was really too busy to keep his feet on the ground, and the range of pastures he ran with [Detecting Aura] was wider.

Fortunately, Li Xiuzhi is virtuous and supports him.

It's just that the wife is attached to her husband, and occasionally she can't help but say to him, "Even horses miss home, but people don't miss home. Xu Lingjun, you are so cruel." The rear, making the home safe and orderly, became his most solid shield and fortress.

This also made Wu Siyuan feel a lot of warmth, and at the same time feel more pity for Li Xiuzhi!

Alfalfa has mowed the first two crops of pasture, and the output of these two crops of alfalfa pasture has already reached the pasture output of the entire pasture last year.

This is only the calculation of the output of alfalfa planting area, and the pasture produced by half of the chingrass planting area has not been calculated.

The entire Chilechuan Ranch can be said to be in a sea of ​​joy. Even if there is a severe drought in the pasture, there is no need to worry about the horses not having enough food.

The task of raising horses in the army can also be easily completed.

Even Wu Siyuan and the others seemed to have no excuses for going up the mountain to graze.

One person came to arrest Wu Siyuan to "study" with ulterior motives, but was beaten back by the herdsmen who worked together with high-sounding reasons.

"Without Xu Lingjun, you plant grass for our pasture, and you graze our pasture?"

"Can you raise horses like Xu Lingjun's, healthy, fat and strong?"

"Are you responsible for delaying the army's horse breeding mission?"

"What kind of class feelings do you have? What kind of heart do you have?"

Facing the herdsmen who worked together as one, these people had to leave angrily, and no one dared to mention this matter again!

But here, the grassland has a bumper harvest, and the amount of pasture is more than required.

Wu Siyuan approached the heads of several brigades and proposed a plan to expand the alfalfa planting area, further increase the production of forage grass, increase other breeding products, and expand income channels.

The herdsmen don't quite understand those tall things, but Wu Siyuan said that they can give the herdsmen more meat, more eggs, more money, and more food stamps, which is easy to understand.

The leaders of several brigades supported Wu Siyuan's plan after discussing it.

They jointly called the farm department and proposed the idea of ​​building a cattle farm and a chicken farm.

Not surprisingly, most of the field department was paralyzed by those people with ulterior motives, and they didn't care what they were doing.

Therefore, in the name of the ranch, the Chilechuan Cattle Farm and the Chilechuan Chicken Farm were established.

It's not that no one raises chickens and no one raises cattle in Chilechuan Ranch.

But large-scale farming is not so simple.

Whether it is the construction of a cowshed or a chicken farm, the treatment of livestock manure and urine is not a simple matter.

Under Wu Siyuan's request, the cowshed and chicken farm should be built as scientifically as possible.

It cannot be as high-tech as later generations, but it must also make full use of current technology to minimize local pollution.

There is an agricultural science and technology talent near Chilechuan Ranch. Wu Siyuan found out, so he tried his best to dig him into the ranch for "transformation"!
In fact, Wu Siyuan used his influence on the ranch to protect him, and used his agricultural science ability, combined with some later design concepts put forward by Wu Siyuan, to let him design relatively advanced cowsheds and chicken farms.

A digester is a must.

Cows and horses are all manure-making machines. The manure is directly discharged without treatment, which will only pollute the environment.

After anaerobic fermentation, these feces can be turned into treasures, biogas and organic fertilizer.

Organic fertilizers can reduce alfalfa fertilizer expenditures.

The so-called "wealth is ten thousand, hairy ones don't count"!
There are many unpredictable risks in the process of breeding.

Once a disease breaks out, it is often a large-scale culling and burial, the kind of investment that loses everything.

Closed herders do not know this information.

But years of farming experience have made them understand the risks of farming.

Therefore, the initial Chilechuan cattle farm and Chilechuan chicken farm were not large in scale.

The Chilechuan cattle farm only introduced [-] cattle. This number is nothing compared to the tens of thousands or [-] cattle farms in later generations, but it is of great significance to Chilechuan.

As for the Chilechuan Chicken Farm.

The cost of raising chickens is low, so 2000 local native chickens were imported at one time.

Wu Siyuan became busier.

The number one risk in farming comes from disease.

So you need to get vaccinated.

But in this era, in this situation, wanting to get vaccinated is also a problem.

But Wu Siyuan has 【Detect Aura】.

[Aura detection] can let Wu Siyuan see that those scalpers or chicks are in an unhealthy state.

Selecting these can largely prevent the spread of diseases in cattle or chickens.

Cooperating with the management in the later stage, the risk of breeding can be greatly reduced.

However, the occurrence of disease is in a dynamic process.

In order to prevent it to the greatest extent, Wu Siyuan must also be on the move.

He is constantly busy between pastures, chicken farms, and cattle farms every day.

Cattle are fine.

What horses eat, cows can eat.

There are roughage such as pasture and concentrated fodder such as soybean meal.

But raising chickens to eat grass is not enough.

The cost of eating corn and millet is too high.

Wu Siyuan discussed with the agricultural expert for a long time, and pioneered the construction of a small and closed locust farm.

This is a special farm built by Wu Siyuan under great pressure.

The excess pasture on the pasture is thrown into the locust breeding farm to be devoured by the locusts.

The fat and strong locusts entered the belly of the native chicken.

Native chickens also thrive on it.

Four months later.

The first batch of native chickens came out of the cage and were of excellent quality. They were taken away by the non-staple food supply and marketing cooperatives that went to the countryside, and they exchanged a lot of in-demand items, as well as cash and food stamps.

The lives of the herdsmen got better, and each of them got some chicken and a few eggs.

In this day and age, any kind of food is precious.

With the effect, without Wu Siyuan's urging, the second batch of native chicken breeding was quickly put on the agenda.

This time, the scale of farming has expanded again.

Until 1975, the Chilechuan Chicken Farm had established several sub-farms, with a breeding scale of [-] chickens, which became another flagship product of the Chilechuan Ranch besides raising horses.
