American Ranch

Chapter 86

A total of 19 workers, Chen Mo briefly interviewed them and signed a temporary employment contract.

Casual labor on California farms is paid less than workers in Montana.Most of the temporary workers here are illegal immigrants, and many of them have no skills...

Chen Mo is looking for employees with many years of working experience in farms and ranches. Two of them have veterinary licenses, 6 are junior veterinarians, and others have other licenses.Although it is a temporary employment contract, the wages of regular employees are paid. The half-monthly salary is 2650 US dollars (before tax). After three months, the workers have to buy family medical insurance, accident insurance, and unemployment insurance.

During the temporary employment period, if the employees perform poorly or according to the needs of the ranch itself, these people can be fired directly.

A monthly salary of more than 5000 is a high salary, especially for farm and ranch employees.But there is no way...

In Montana, regular employees can be found for about [-] yuan. For employees with special skills, except for those with a veterinary license, a monthly salary of about [-] yuan is enough.

Not in California...

Illegal workers on farms and ranches in California are cheap, and unskilled workers are also cheap.

The location of the River Valley Ranch is too remote, it is not easy to find workers near the ranch...

If you want cheap workers, you can only find black intermediaries. Chen Mo is a newcomer, and this time he has a relatively high positioning for the ranch. He directly focuses on the top beef market and mutton market, looking for professional and reliable workers.And these workers have to live on the ranch, or live near the ranch.

Americans, who are not married and play casually, are mostly very open.After getting married, especially when they have children, everyone attaches great importance to family... Basically, where people work, their families will move there, and reliable workers cannot be found without high salaries.

"Boss, what is our current job?" John said when he saw that everyone had signed the contract.

"No hurry, let's take a look at the place where we work." Chen Mo picked up little Lolita, sat in John's car, and went to Moon Valley first.

There are dozens of large and small valleys in the pasture mountain area, all of which are slightly flat land, ranging in size from a few acres to dozens of acres.

Moon Valley is shaped like a crescent moon, with more than [-] acres of flat land, it is considered a large valley.

There is a small ranch here, with three workers' houses, a cowshed for 200 cows, and a planned cowshed.

For those grazing cattle in the cowshed area, there is pasture that submerges the ankles.The cattle pen area here is different from the cattle pen area of ​​the large ranch... the cattle pen area of ​​the large ranch is like the cattle pen area of ​​the Snow Mountain Ranch, and it takes half a year to drive cattle into it.

The cattle pen area here is mainly a place for cattle activities. It has 20 acres and is divided into four places.Each cowshed has a cowpen area, and each cowshed can only raise 50 cows, which is a small and exquisite breeding.

"This is the Moon Valley Ranch, a part of the River Valley Ranch. The Moon Valley Ranch also needs two warehouses, a machinery warehouse, and a grain warehouse. In addition, how to deal with the cow dung in the ranch, I hope to have a clean and tidy environment. It stinks as soon as you walk in..."

"Are you going to raise Wagyu?"

Chen Mo nodded: "Some Wagyu. By the way, you are all from San Joaquin?"

"Yes."

San Joaquin is in the Central Valley, and River Valley Ranch is fifty or sixty kilometers away from San Joaquin in the Central Valley.This is a straight-line distance... If there is a straight-line road directly to San Joaquin, fifty or sixty kilometers is not too far away, and you can drive to and from get off work.

California average commute time (one way): 27 minutes.

Commutes of more than 60 minutes: 154 million (9.9%)

Areas with longer commutes: Areas with average one-way commute times higher than 50 minutes include parts of Los Angeles, Bute, and Madera counties…

If there is a direct road, the one-way commute time of fifty or sixty kilometers is acceptable to many people.The problem is that there is no direct road. The two closest roads to the Central Valley are about 130 kilometers from River Valley Ranch to San Joaquin. Both roads are about the same distance...

"The ranch currently has 13 workers' houses." These 13 workers' houses do not count the farmer's houses...

"Each worker's house is equipped with two bedrooms as standard, and there are a few houses with three bedrooms. You can arrange the house allocation... Let everyone have a place to live at night."

"Okay. But we haven't made the preparations for living yet. Can we allocate accommodation and wait until we come over tomorrow? Let's first understand the future work and the main tasks that each will be responsible for, and then we can arrange a place to live."

"Row."

Dry Valley Ranch, there is a small town in the north of the valley.

It's a very small town, with only a few families living in it, and a gas station... the gas station also sells some things.

The small town has a large area, and there are dozens of families in the whole town, with a population of more than [-].Each of them lives in a very remote place...

Due to the environment in Montana, especially in remote areas, it is common for low-income people to live in the employer's home.In California, most employers do not offer residency, except in very remote locations.

As long as the job is stable, most of the employees' families in Hegu Ranch will move to a new home along with the job.And it is not easy to settle here...

Chen Mo took people to Shanxi Valley, a narrow and long valley, there is also a pasture farm here, with cowsheds and stables, which can raise more than 100 cows.

The entire river valley ranch, the existing cowshed can only raise 335 cattle.200 cows are raised in Moon Valley, and 135 cows are raised in Xiaoxi Valley...The cowshed building and mu fence facilities are relatively luxurious and artistic.

This... is pretty much the outline of River Valley Ranch.

Now, River Valley Ranch needs one or two large breeding areas, where the breeding cattle are raised.

At least 900 Bright cattle, and other cattle breeds should be purchased.Such a large-scale breeding area, in the current situation of the river valley ranch, can only be built in the Delai River Valley, or the valley where Chen Mo's villa is located...

Chen Mo wants to develop a high-quality ranch, the environment is very important, and he will live here.If the breeding area is built here, it will look too out of place, and it will be built in other places. Now there are Morro Valley Ranch and Belk Ranch in the small town of San Beni. These two ranches have relatively complete facilities. At least 900 Brett cattle can be raised directly after they are bought...

Taking John and his team to see the general situation of the ranch, Chen Mo asked the 19 new employees to go back first, and they were going to come to work tomorrow.Then I took John to the Morro Valley in the small town of San Beni to see the Morro Valley Ranch and Belk Ranch.

These two pastures are intensive breeding pastures, each of which has a breeding scale of more than 1000 head, but the size of the pastures is small.The Morro River Ranch is 750 acres and the Belk Ranch is 900 acres.Both ranches have been troubled by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) for polluting the environment by raising too many cattle, and they are still burdened with huge fines and are unable to pay back.

The small town of San Beni is a mountainous pastoral area, with dozens of households and dozens of pastures. Many pastures in this small town are larger than the Morro River pasture and Belk pasture.The reason why he targeted these two ranches was that Chen Mo saw that they were fined on the community website.Secondly, they are close to the river valley pastures, just behind the hills to the west of the Dlai River Valley, the straight-line distance is less than 4 kilometers, and it takes only six or seven kilometers to take a road and make a detour.

Chen Mo told John about the future planning and development of River Valley Ranch: "What do you think?"

"I think..." John wanted to say, 'I think you are too rich', and then said with a smile on his lips, "Very good, it should be developed into a good holiday ranch."
