Happy Little Mayor - Chapter 1250

After the visit in the town, the two had lunch in the town by the way, and Wang Bo tasted a fruit meal.

A formal visit to the farm began in the afternoon. The bonfire farm is planted with crops such as autumn wheat, beer wheat, rapeseed and green corn. Christine’s farm has a large area and the more types of crops are grown.

Wang Bo marveled, and Christine shook his head and said, “The market is not good now, and you can’t put eggs in a basket, so you plant a few more crops. In fact, this means lower income.”

This is the helpless action of the farmers, the international agricultural food prices are unpredictable, the weather in New Zealand is not good, and the farm’s income is affected.

In the past, farmers would grow one or two crops in one agricultural season, which is convenient for management, large-scale planting costs are low, and more money can be earned.

Wang Bo said: “My farm has harvested well this year. Is it bad?”

Kristan sighed: “My spring wheat suffered a huge loss. In January, wheat experienced drought during the grain filling stage. You also know that there was no rain or snow in the past winter and water was scarce.”

“Later in February and March, we were ready to harvest. Damn it. Late this summer, wheat encountered frost. As a result, the early growth was not good. In the later period, it was not good to harvest the fruit, and the grain was not full.”

Wang Bo nodded silently, and said, “What about autumn wheat?”

They happened to be in the wheat field. A large harvester was humming in the farmland, followed by a large pickup trailer, and the harvester would send wheat into it.

Once the trailer was full, Christan waved it to drive it over, and then took Wang Bo up the ladder and stirred the wheat kernels with his hands to show him.

Wang Bo couldn’t help shaking his head, and the wheat kernels were still not full. According to New Zealand’s classification of grains, this belongs to the third-grade wheat and cannot be sold at a good price.

Kristan seemed worried that so much bad news would hit him, and said, “Fortunately, now the government subsidies are relatively high, and although the wheat harvest is not good, it rarely causes illness, which is not bad.”

Taking Wang Bo to walk in the wheat field, two hundred hectares of wheat are very spectacular. Looking at the stocking, it is clear that the wheat fields are sprinkled with splendor. The bright sun falls down, and the wheat ears flutter in the wind, reflecting the sun like waves.

In this kind of place, he can really smell the scent of wheat. Wang Bo took a deep breath. The smell of wheat and the freshness of the earth mixed together, which was very novel to him.

Several big dogs ran in the wheat field after the harvest. The dogs on the bonfire farm were all big German shepherds, with their ears raised. They ran like a wind. After rolling around in the wheat field for a few times, their bodies were stained. Full of oatmeal.

The farm uses a modern large-scale harvester with the ability to crush wheat straw. After the straw is broken, it will be collected together, and then the government will arrange a cleaning truck to send these things away.

New Zealand strictly prohibits the burning of straw in farmland. After being caught, he will be severely punished on the farm. Wang Bo’s burning of weeds at that time still went to a special public relations office in Wellington to apply, otherwise it would not be possible.

After this harvester, some wheat straw fragments will inevitably fall on the farmland. Because the crushing is very successful, these wheat straw fragments are like small snowflakes. They fall soft in the field, and the German shepherds are crazy.

Behind these strong German shepherds, there is a small side shepherd following in the stumbling.

Christan whistled, and several dogs turned to look at him, but only Xiaobian Mu ran towards him.

He picked up the puppy and laughed. “Look, this kid wants to play with big dogs too, but that’s not the case, they will burn you out, because they are adult dogs.”

After a visit in the wheat field, he beckoned, “Come on, take you to see a beautiful one.”

When he said that, Wang Bo guessed what to see, it must be **** field.

When overlooking the farm from a helicopter in the morning, he noticed the vast field of rapeseed. Although he had missed the season of rapeseed blooming, he still found the rapeseed so beautiful.

Rapeseed is a long-day crop. It has a cool nature or a warmer climate. The entire growth period of rapeseed is completed below the average daily temperature of 22. When the temperature is higher than 3, rapeseed can sprout. As a result, **** can be planted in different seasons, so winter canola and spring canola are divided.

New Zealand’s climate is relatively mild. Its lower limit of winter average temperature is Celsius and the lowest temperature of the coldest month is minus five degrees Celsius. For rapeseed, it can still safely winter.

Therefore, New Zealand can grow winter canola and spring canola. Winter canola is sown in autumn and harvested in late spring. Spring rapeseed varieties are not very strict in low temperature requirements. They can be sown in autumn and summer, and sown in spring and summer.

When the two arrived at the **** field, Mai Lang disappeared and was replaced by a green-yellow ocean.

There are hundreds of hectares of spreading rapeseed. Wang Bo put his hand into a cover and put it on his brows to look forward. The green and yellow are boundless and occasionally mixed with blooming rapeseed, which is still very pleasing.

Christan grabbed a piece of dirt from the ground and showed him, “Look, what’s this?”

Wang Bo also grabbed and looked at the soil, and said in surprise: “Sand? The soil here is very poor.”

Kristan laughed and said, “Yes, it’s the poor soil here, it’s all sandy land. When I bought this farm, it didn’t include these sandy land. At that time, a large area of ​​sandy land was sparse Sparse weeds, so I negotiated with the government and bought them for 1,500 yuan per hectare. “

Wang Bo admired, “You did a great job. This is the purchase of Alaska that belongs to you.”

Rape is not very strict on soil requirements. On sandy soil, clay, red-yellow loam, and other various soil properties, high yield can be obtained as long as correct cultivation methods and reasonable cultivation techniques are adopted.

This topic apparently made Christine proud. He said, “Thank you, it is true, but they can only grow a small number of crops. I chose mustard-type canola, so there is still some gain.”

Brassica napus has a root system, strong drought tolerance, and can be cultivated under conditions of poor soil fertility and arid climate. Northwest China, such as Gansu and Qinghai, have this place of **** cultivation.

Wang Bo asked: “Not planning to harvest these rapeseeds yet? I think they are ripe.”

Christine said: “These two days, the weather has been better recently, you know, I hope to choose a continuous and sunny weather to harvest rapeseed.”

After the rapeseed is harvested, it should be dried quickly, and the grains should be beaten out in time, otherwise if there is a rain, the rapeseed in the ground will be damp, and the grade will drop and affect the selling price. (To be continued.) 8
