Chapter 193 Don't be in a hurry

It was late at night.

It was freezing cold outside.

The dog Xiao Hei got out of the car, shivering with cold.When he entered the restaurant, Xiao Hei was still shaking.

Chen Mo took Xiao Hei's rice bowl, filled a bowl of haggis soup for Xiao Hei, fished out a lot of haggis and mutton, and patted Xiao Hei's head.

The tip of Xiao Hei's nose moved a few times, and his tongue stuck out to lick.The mutton soup was very hot. Xiao Hei licked it and it became warm after a while.

Dad and the others also served haggis soup and drank the soup.

A bowl of mutton soup warms the stomach and body.

"Come here quickly." Cheng Tang shouted.

"Here we come." Chen Mo went over and sat next to Cheng Tang, picked up the haggis soup in front of him, and touched it with Cheng Tang: "Have the rest of the work been worked out yet?"

"It's been worked out." Cheng Tang said: "But for the rest of the work, we need to hire people or buy the machines ourselves."

With 6 acres of land, it would take a lot of investment to buy machinery.

Asking people to come over, that is, inviting machines to come over, also costs a lot of money.And if you need a machine, you have to contact us in advance, as you may not be able to find that many.

Depending on the local climate, the corn sowing time is probably around the end of April or the beginning of May, giving or take [-] days.

In the best case scenario, 3000 acres can be sown every day.But considering the actual situation, that is, to reduce risks, we have to sow 5000 acres every day.

Chen Mo and the others had previously discussed whether to buy a machine or a lover.

When buying machinery, the first thing to buy is a tractor.

The choice of tractor determines the output. If the tractor has a small horsepower, then choose the no-till sowing method.Such corn yield is low...

High-horsepower tractors require high investment and high output.

Even if no-till sowing is used, the yield of corn sown by a high-horsepower tractor is higher than that of a small-horsepower tractor.It has high horsepower and power, and can plow a little deeper.

Then high-horsepower tractors can plow the soil in early April. If conditions permit, some organic fertilizer can be pulled in before plowing the soil.Deep plowing was carried out in early April to level the land and ensure moisture.In May, the tractor was replaced with a sowing external machine, allowing sowing, fertilizing and suppressing to be carried out at once.

Actually, generally speaking, the time to apply fertilizer should be in hilly fields, that is, when the soil is plowed after the autumn harvest, it is better to apply fertilizer.

But for Chen Mo and the others, there is no way now.

"Buy machinery." Chen Mo said, "The government provides subsidies and loans for buying agricultural machinery. It doesn't cost much."

Zhang Cheng looked over, and Chen Mo also noticed Zhang Cheng's eyes: "Is there a problem?"

Zhang Cheng shook his head: "Buy John Deere?"

"Well, John Deere 6J-1654." Chen Mo said.

Some things have to be admitted, the quality of John Deere tractors is indeed good.It’s just expensive…

You get what you pay for.

The more expensive it is, the less likely it will go wrong.With tens of thousands of acres of land being cultivated like this, Chen Mo talked to Feng Xuezhe... He said that doing agriculture here is a race against time.

You can make money by beating time.If something goes wrong in some links, you will suffer heavy losses.

"Have you ever asked about the price?" Chen Mo said.

"I've asked." Zhang Cheng said: "The current price of a John Deere 6J-1654 is 56 yuan, and the agricultural machinery subsidy is 5 yuan. After all, it's 51 yuan... Then there are plows, seeders, A set of tractor external carriages costs 70-75. To cover 6 acres, only 5 sets are needed. For insurance purposes, 8 sets are needed. In addition, this tractor can be equipped with forage harvesting, trimming, and external packaging. Machine, 85-100 million."

"Get a loan. The down payment is 300 million, and the remaining loan..." Chen Mo said: "Try to use the best. Use better machines, which can save a lot of manpower." "Now we need to reserve corn seeds. 6 acres, All grown in corn?" Cheng Tang asked.

"Grow all corn. Then it depends on the situation this year. If the weather is good, leave it to harvest corn. If the weather is bad, use it as green storage." Chen Mo looked at Feng Xuezhe: "Master Feng, what do you think?"

Feng Xuezhe, who is from the Northeast, nodded: "Our farm is close to the water source. If there is a shortage of water, we can pump some water for irrigation. There are two wells on the farm... If there is a drought this year, there will be at least several thousand acres of land that can be irrigated." Land that cannot be irrigated can be harvested and used as silage fodder, depending on the situation."

If there is a drought, like last year, the poorer forage will be sold for more than 1000 tons per ton.Good forage costs 1 yuan per ton.Many herdsmen cannot afford pasture, and many sell their lambs in advance.

6 acres, it depends on the planting density.

The planting density does not need to be particularly high. 4 kilograms of seeds per acre will require 1 kilograms.Just the seeds cost about 24 million.

Their company only has a total of 1850 million yuan, which seems like a lot, but it is still difficult to operate a farm of 6 acres.

700 million has been spent on ranches and farms, and another 700 million is owed to the bank.

Chen Mo and his company currently have more than 100 million in their accounts.For machinery and equipment, you will definitely need a loan.The ranch also needs to invest some money...

Calculated this way, their company is not wealthy.

Just pray that this year will go well, especially on the farm.If the weather goes well this year, Chen Mo can secretly give Lingquan one more time to solve the future funding problem.

But if the drought continues this year, it will be difficult.

Chen Mo pulled off a leg of lamb and handed it to his parents.Then I gave my father-in-law and the others a leg of mutton...

This sheep was quite big. Chen Mo continued to cut a piece of meat and shared it with Lin Ling: "Uncle, you guys can eat too, you're welcome."

"You're welcome." My uncle said, "You guys just said that the farm has 6 acres?"

Chen Mo said 'hmm' and nodded.

"All 6 acres are planted with corn. If the yield per acre is [-] catties, that would be incredible," said my uncle.

"Two thousand catties, I'm afraid it's impossible." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Two thousand kilograms is a bit difficult. If the weather is good and the fertilizer is sufficient... a yield of more than 1000 kilograms is relatively normal." Feng Xuezhe said.

As long as there are no natural disasters, it is easy to produce about one thousand kilograms of corn per mu.With better management, it can reach [-] jins.It is said that there are some whose yields exceed [-] kilograms per mu...

Like the farm where Feng Xuezhe worked before, with better plots, the yield per mu in a normal year was [-].The poorer plots have yields of [-] to [-] jins per mu... and the poorer growing plots have yields of [-] to [-] jins per mu, or even less.

There was a drought last year, although water was pumped for irrigation.Calculated, the average yield per mu is just over 400 kilograms.

"How do you dry tens of thousands of acres of corn during harvest?" my uncle asked again.

Tens of thousands of acres, not hundreds of acres.

If the yield per mu is 6 kilograms, 30 mu, that is [-] tons.

30 tons. If one truck pulls 20 tons, it will take 1500 trucks.How to dry corn with so much corn?

This farm has a drying yard and a warehouse... but the drying yard and warehouse are not large. There is also a tower drying tower, but it can only dry more than 200 tons of corn every day.We will definitely expand the drying field later and build several more drying towers and warehouses.Loan as much as you can...

If you still can't digest it in the end, you can sell the corn directly after harvesting.Wet corn on the cob can be sold directly, but it is much cheaper.If it doesn't work, just sell green storage. Selling green storage may make more money than harvesting corn...

Take it step by step, don't rush.

Use the funds at hand to do what you can see.
