Chapter 264
After a few days, Chen Mo and Zhou Hao took a rough look at the ranch.

There are 3.3 acres of flat land, including 6100 acres of river valleys, 8300 acres of hilly fields, 4000 acres of terraced fields, and 4600 acres of nooks and crannies.The rest is all barren land, these barren hillsides, these barren hillsides can be reclaimed into hilly fields, which are relatively flat.

Chen Mo plans to plant corn on 6100 acres of land in the river valley.

A total of 1.69 acres of hilly fields, terraced fields, hills, etc. will be planted with corn.

The remaining land that can be used to cultivate the imperial city's hilly fields is relatively flat. Some plots can be planted with corn mechanically without leveling, which is about 1 acres.These plots of land are relatively scattered, and Chen Mo and the others selected several large plots to build breeding centers.

"The first task is to set up the planting department, dig out the land and plant grass." Chen Mo said.

"I know. When will the tractor come back?" Zhou Hao said.

"The day after tomorrow." Chen Mo said.

Zhang Cheng and the others also wanted to purchase equipment, and Chen Mo asked Zhang Cheng to help him purchase it.

Four high-horsepower John Deere tractors are the same model as those used in Valley Ranch.

There are also 12 medium-sized tractors equipped with 16 high-grid trucks.And a rotary tiller, the kind with thickened fenders.Mudguards can help level the ground...

In Heizigou, there is black soil. Generally speaking... the soil fertility there is relatively high.The soil at half a meter depth and the surface layer are almost the same.

But on the Qingshui River side, especially the newly reclaimed soil, the fertility is basically on the surface. To preserve the fertility of the surface soil, deep plowing is not possible.A little deeper, and the bottom is raw soil.

So for the land here, you can just use a rotary tiller.There is one rotary tiller for each tractor, three additional sets as spares, and some replacement blades. After subsidies, the total cost is 610 million.

Chen Mo brought a contractor over to build a breeding center, which was much easier than building a warehouse.

Moreover, the winter here in the Sichuan Basin is not particularly cold, so there is no need for sandwich colored steel tiles, so the cost is cheaper.

However, the summer in Sichuan is hotter than the summer in Heizigou, so the height requirements of the sheep house are higher, and then there are the ventilation requirements.

Zhou Hao explained the construction requirements of the breeding center to several contractors. Chen Mo saw wild fruits on the roadside, picked one, and saw a car approaching in the distance.

Three cars.

One was Zhang Cheng’s Panamera, and the two behind were black Volkswagens.

The car drove up the dirt road.

The terrain on the top of the mountain is flat, and there are hundreds of acres here.

"Brother." Zhang Cheng shouted.

"Oh." Chen Mo looked at the car behind him: "How was the discussion about the forage harvester?"

"There are two types of Claas forage harvesters suitable for use here. One is a large one, priced at 155 million yuan. The other is slightly smaller, priced at 85 yuan." Zhang Chengdao.

The last car opened and Zhang Weimin got out of the car: "Secretary Zhang." Chen Mo shouted with a smile.

"Oh." Zhang Weimin smiled and introduced the person next to him: "This is our Mayor Li of Dongshan City."

Chen Mo stepped forward: "Hello, Mayor Li."

Mayor Li smiled and stretched out his hand, shook hands with Chen Mo, and said, "I heard that a large ranch is going to be built here."

"Similar." Chen Mo said: "We are finalizing the construction plan for the breeding center."

"Our city is very supportive of your project, but will it be difficult to develop hundreds of thousands of acres of pasture?"

"There are difficulties, but this difficulty is not great." Chen Mo said: "It is a bit troublesome to grow more than 2 acres of grain." Chen Mo and Zhang Weimin had said this.Zhang Weimin said he would find a way and asked the leader for instructions...

If we meet today, let’s just say it.

"Food production is the top priority..." Mayor Li frowned: "If you don't grow food, all of it will be used for grazing?"

"The existing land in the pasture is only suitable for large-scale planting of corn. Corn is used as feed grain here. The only land that can be planted with waterways is the river valley, but to plant waterways on the river valley land, further land leveling is needed... I It is going to be used to grow pasture. Plant more pasture and you can raise more cattle and sheep," Chen Mo said.

"How large are you planning to build it?"

"If all pastures can be planted in the three pasture areas, conservative estimates can ensure that there are more than 15 sheep in the pen. That is, the overall scale is 20 sheep...the number of cattle is more than 5." Chen Mo said.

"With so much, will it damage the environment?"

"No. We will accept supervision at any time..." Chen Mo said: "If we have sufficient funds in the future, we will build our own organic fertilizer factory."

"You can try it first." Mayor Li said, "But when we need to grow food in the future..."

Chen Mo nodded: "If we need to grow food, we will definitely do it."

If there is no compulsion to grow food, the rest will be easier to handle.

Zhou Hao also became happy after knowing the news.Corn can be used as silage fodder, but in the south, it is not cost-effective to use corn as silage fodder. It is better to plant pasture.

The tractor came back a few days later.

Zhou Hao also recruited good people and started training and land reclamation work.Training and land reclamation are carried out at the same time.

Chen Mo drove Zhang Cheng on the way to Chengdu: "Have you made any plans there?"

"Not yet." Zhang Cheng said: "The land here is precious, only [-] acres. I'll think about how to get it."

"Make it more refined. Part of it is raising sheep, and part is raising cattle. We can set up a dedicated Angus cattle breeding farm. Our climate conditions are good, and Angus cattle can still be raised."

"You don't grow corn anymore?" Zhang Cheng said.

Chen Mo shook his head: "Plant some alfalfa and barley grass. Then mainly plant sweet elephant grass..."

"Sweet Elephant Grass as Green Reserve?"

"You can make green storage or yellow storage." Chen Mo said: "Sweet elephant grass grows fast and has high yield. The straw of this grass itself contains some sugar, and if you add a little bit of protein, it will be enough... "

"You share my [-] acres. If the flat land is reclaimed, it is estimated that we can cultivate [-] to [-] acres... at most [-] acres." Zhang Cheng said: "Do you want to sell the pasture over there?"

"If you have any extra, sell it. If you don't have any extra, you will definitely not sell it." Chen Mo said: "The large flat land over there must be opened up and planted with sweet elephant grass to consume the dung water in the pasture. Otherwise, your How to consume the excrement and water on the side?"

Zhang Cheng made an 'hmm'.

Manure is usually used to irrigate the grass in pastures, but not in pastures.The pasture sheep in the pasture eat green grass directly. If they eat pasture watered by manure, there may be insects...

"In the future, if you want forage, please come to me in advance to reserve it." Chen Mo said: "I will arrange it in advance. If there are many, they will definitely be sold at a cheaper price."

Zhang Cheng nodded with a smile and said: "Will you still take measures in the future?"

"We will discuss how to operate it specifically when we all get together." Chen Mo said, "I also want to take the pledge, but I don't know if it will work."
