Chapter 281

The sheep in the pasture are usually outside and will not be driven into the sheep house.

Eat grass when you are hungry, sleep when you are full.

The coldest winter here is around zero degrees, and even on the coldest nights, it's nothing to the sheep.

"What are they planting?" Zhang Weimin asked when he saw workers loosening the soil and sowing seeds on the roadside.

"Grow artemisia annua." Chen Mo said, "Artemisia annua can repel insects."

In the mountains, there are many mosquitoes in summer.

Waiting for summer, these artemisia annua have almost started to grow.The smell of artemisia annua itself can repel mosquitoes, and the dried artemisia annua can kill mosquitoes after being lit.

Zhang Weimin nodded and looked at the ups and downs of the mountains, all of which had been repaired and planted with pasture.

The pasture is mostly planted with bermudagrass, followed by perennial rye.Then one-third of the area is planted with other pastures, mixed pastures, and various types of grasses.Things like dandelions, chrysanthemums, etc. are also included.

Bermuda grass is a short grass with a particularly developed root system. When it grows up, it will become a large lawn.

The picture here is like the Swiss countryside seen on TV, with green mountains, blue sky and white clouds, and leisurely sheep grazing on the mountains.

"That's great." Zhang Weimin said.

Chen Mo smiled and said: "Actually, it is good to promote sheep raising in rural areas. Just like in the countryside 20 years ago, every household raised a few big fat pigs..." Chen Mo said: "How to integrate rural land After getting up and redistributing it, each family has a large field... For example, in Lijiagou Village, I have inquired. In that village, a family of three has about five or six acres of land. But the land is one in the east and one in the west... Some people's land is one in the east and one in the west. The farthest distance between the two fields is even 1.3 kilometers."

Zhang Weimin looked at Chen Mo and said, "Hmm," "The land collection and redistribution is already underway in our county."

"If we can gather land, a single piece of land is 5 acres, and grow pasture, it will not be a big problem to raise [-] to [-] sheep." Chen Mo said.

"Five acres of land, raising twenty or thirty sheep?"

"Grow some mixed forage, roll it up, and buy some concentrated feed. It's not a big problem to raise twenty or thirty sheep. Just thirty sheep." Chen Mo said: "If it's Boer goats, if you raise them for one year, one sheep Earning 1000 yuan won’t be a big problem.”

"One sheep earns 1000 yuan, thirty... 3 yuan." Zhang Weimin breathed out.

3 yuan, not much.

But it is not easy for older rural people to earn 3 yuan a year.

Chen Mo said: "One can earn 1000 yuan. I'm talking about those who are elderly and don't have much labor. There is a lot of knowledge involved in raising sheep, and it is much more difficult than raising pigs."

Mutton in Sichuan is expensive, but if you earn 1000 yuan from one sheep, it won't be a big problem.If you gain experience in raising sheep and can raise ewes, your income will naturally be higher.

After the New Year, a new year's work meeting was going to be held in the county. Zhang Weimin had no idea, so he thought of Mushan Ranch.

Breeding is risky.

For Chen Mo, raising sheep is easy.But when it comes to rural areas, that may not be the case.

If raising sheep is easier than raising pigs...then every household in rural areas should have raised sheep, not pigs.

Developing the rural economy is really difficult and difficult, and it cannot be decided by just a few words and a pat on the head.

Mushan is mountainous and has little arable land.

The cultivated land on the Mushan Ranch, even the land in the river valley, is not particularly flat.

But to be honest, Mushan has a small population and a lot of land.Although they are both mountains, if we can follow the example of Wushan Pastoral Area and Mushan Ranch, clear all the miscellaneous trees on the mountains, open up wasteland and spread grass...and then enclose the land for grazing...

沐山县5885平方公里，人口才10,000+。5885平方公里，那就是882万7500亩。

The real population of Mushan County is probably more than 17.This also includes people who live in the county...

Counting the current residents, the per capita land in Mushan County is about 50 acres.But there are many mountains, and then there are forests and bamboo forests.

There are also many bamboo forests in Mushan.

But no matter how you calculate it, as long as you can follow the example of Wushan Pastoral Area, level the land to plant pasture, and then fence it... With the climate of Mushan County, there is no problem at all for one sheep per acre of land.You can even herd two sheep.

Zhang Weimin was just thinking wildly. There was a reason for the large number of trees cut down in the Mushan Ranch, Wushan Pastoral Area, Alpine Pasture and some lands.It is impossible to continue cutting down trees.

How to develop the rural economy is really a difficult problem.

After seeing off Zhang Weimin, Chen Mo got into the Maybach and was about to go for another walk around the ranch. Zhang Cheng drove over in a Tank 500. He braked on the road and stuck his head out: "Brother."

"what?"

"No fishing."

"Forget it." Chen Mo waved his hand and said, "I want to change the pasture."

Zhang Cheng drove the car over: "Wait, I'll come with you and take a look at Mushan Ranch."

Chen Mo got out of the car: "Then take your car, we may have to go off-road later."

Zhang Cheng smiled: "Yes."

Chen Mo got into the passenger seat, and Zhang Cheng turned around and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Let's go to the valley first. Let me take a look at the growth of the sweet elephant grass." Chen Mo said: "Are you driving the pure electric mode?"

Zhang Cheng said 'hmm': "If you can save a point, it's a point."

Zhang Cheng turned on the hybrid mode of the hybrid Tank 500. When he came to the spacious and straight dirt road, Zhang Cheng stepped on the accelerator...

The car became violent and kicked up a cloud of dust behind it.

Zhang Cheng laughed: "How about this motivation?"

"Niubi." Chen Mo said with a smile, "Give me a try."

Zhang Cheng gave up the driver's seat and Chen Mo sat on it. The hybrid car was unfamiliar... It started very softly, and Chen Mo immediately applied the floor oil.After all, it was a dirt road. Although a road roller came regularly for maintenance, the road was still uneven. Chen Mo's floor oil almost caused the car to lose control.

Overall, this car is really good, worthy of its price, and it feels very comfortable to drive.

It's February now.

The roadside is densely covered with sweet elephant grass, the tallest one is six or seven meters high.The common height is more than five meters.

Sweet elephant grass has thick stalks. Those six or seven meters tall sweet elephant grass have straws as thick as sugar cane.However, the moisture content of sweet elephant grass straw is much lower, and the straw is quite sweet.I don’t know if anyone has eaten corn straw. The sweetness here is like grass. The sweetness of the straw is higher than that of corn straw, and it is almost the same as sorghum straw.

Chen Mo came to a depression where the sweet elephant grass grew best. Chen Mo stopped the car and went down to take a look.

The sweet elephant grass has spores growing under the stalks, but the spores are still fine.And this time is not suitable for planting sweet elephant grass...
