A good time for farming through the ages

Chapter 83 [083] Buying fry
In the end, Zhuo Dajun bought about 400 grass carp and crucian carp. This is the total amount. One carp costs an average of 5 cents and costs 20 yuan.

I didn’t buy ducklings after all. Firstly, the movement was too loud, and secondly, there were no extra people in the family to feed so many ducklings, so I chose fish that didn’t need much care.

However, only Zhuo Lin knows that fish farming in rice fields is actually a technical job, which is not as simple as Zhuo Dajun imagined.

But she can also see that Zhuo Dajun is ready to let them fend for themselves. In fact, not only fish, but even the rice in the rice fields depend on the sky. In the era without pesticides, farm manure alone is far away. Far from being enough, rice field diseases and insect pests are quite serious, which is also the main reason why the production has been unable to increase.

Although the output of later generations has increased, humans will eat more pesticides indirectly. These additional costs are actually equal to the harvest.

Although the rice flower fish is fresh and tender, it has a different flavor, but in the process of breeding, it also needs to overcome the contradictions with traditional rice cultivation, such as drying the field, fertilizing, spraying pesticides, etc., and it takes about a week to grow rice. 'Without water, what will the fish do?
Moreover, chemical fertilizers cannot be used in paddy field fish farming, and agricultural machinery fertilizer or farmyard manure is used, which has relatively high requirements for pesticide application. Ditches, fish pits, and drainage ditches greatly increase the difficulty of mechanization.

Therefore, fish farming in rice fields was gradually replaced by crabs, loach, and ducks in later generations. Of course, this is also a model of rice field farming, and it all depends on how the owner wants to do it.

There is no need for Zhuo Lin to say these extra words when the reality cannot reach them. You may have heard of pesticides and fertilizers with them, but the reality was not gradually known to farmers until the end of the 70s. , No one even used it at the beginning, thinking that the price is high and the benefits are not comparable, so everything needs a gradual process.

400 fish is not a small amount, and they are released to an average of [-] mu of land, with an average of [-] fish per mu of land. If these fish can survive, they can be sold for a lot of income at that time.

Someone saw their house buying fish fry, so they came to ask, and Zhuo Dajun told the villagers in the same village the news he inquired from the agricultural technology station.

Common people like to follow the trend, but not everyone has the conditions to breed like this, so some people buy it, and naturally some people choose to wait and see.

Before Zhuo Dajun went out to work, their savings dropped to more than 40 yuan.

But the days are getting better and better. Now that he has a formal job, the villagers envy him, his family is at ease, and he has also worked hard to save more and more money.

Around June 6th, they gradually began to pay public grain. The output of their six mu of land is 28 catties, but they have to hand over 1560-40% of the public grain, which is six to seven hundred catties. You can save the rest of the grain yourself, or you can hand it over. Go to the grain station, but when you hand it over to the grain station, you have to charge a certain handling fee every time you go to pick it up. This is the way of the later 50s, but I didn't expect it to be applied to the 90s.

But the only advantage is that there is no deposit (agricultural surcharge, used for the construction of the village) in this empty place. If you have to pay the deposit, the farmers have worked hard for half a year, and they may barely be able to fill it up. Stomach, but there are six people in their family, and the remaining 800 catties of grain are not willing to store it in the grain station, put it under the nose, and have to pull it out to dry from time to time, for fear of getting bugs and breaking it, life is no problem, If you want to eat enough, I am afraid that the output of the wasteland will be enough.
