Chapter 200: Grazing in a fence
Chen Mo drove the Volvo, and Lin Ling sat in the passenger seat.

Mother Chen and Mother Lin Ling are sitting in the back row...

There was no words all the way. When they arrived at the hospital, Chen Mo accompanied Lin Ling for a check-up and confirmed that she was pregnant.

Just confirmed, I will check again in a while.

After it was confirmed that Lin Ling was pregnant, Chen's mother seemed particularly happy.

As soon as he got into the car, Chen Mo's cell phone rang. It was Lin Feng calling: "Dad."

"Have you finished checking?"

"The inspection is over."

"How to say."

"She's pregnant." Chen Mo said with a smile.

Lin Feng said 'hmm': "We are at the building materials market in the north of the city with the contractor. We are making cowsheds. Cheap cowsheds can cost less than 1 yuan per square meter. There are also expensive cowsheds that cost four to five hundred yuan per square meter. You Would you like to come over and take a look?"

"Try to get some better. The winter here is cold...the lowest recorded temperature is minus 500 degrees Celsius. In normal years, minus 1 degrees Celsius is common in winter. The cowshed must use thermal insulation materials, otherwise in winter It's too cold. Then there needs to be a sewage trough in the cowshed, just like the cowshed in the valley." Chen Mo added: "Build one cowshed and one sheep house each. Even if it costs 50 yuan per square meter, that's [-] yuan. Yuan. If you don’t have enough money on hand, I have more here.”

"We have more than 10,000 yuan on hand. It is enough to build two breeding sheds, but we need to add more cattle and sheep..."

"We still have money on hand. Let's get the venue ready first, so we don't have to worry about the cattle and sheep," Chen Mo said.

Lin Feng said 'hmm': "Okay."

Chen Mo and Lin Feng chatted for a few more words and started the car.

Returning to Heizigou, when passing Huaxi Farm, Chen Mo saw a tractor plowing the fields from a distance.

"Go over and take a look." Lin Ling said.

Chen Mo drove the car over. John Deere's tractor was very powerful. It pulled the plow and turned out nearly half a meter of soil.

"Can all 6 acres be planted with corn?" Lin Ling said.

"It's not a big problem."

"If you can produce 1 kilograms of corn per mu, or 6 acres, how long will it last?" Lin Ling said, taking out her mobile phone and calculating: "6000 million kilograms... divided by 2000, 3 tons?"

"If we could produce 1 kilograms per acre..." Chen Mo shrugged, started the car, and left.

"The current price of corn is 2359 yuan per ton." Lin Ling said: "1 tons, 3 million?"

Chen Mo smiled: "The money here is not that easy to make... If it were easy to make money, the previous farmer would not transfer the farm."

The price of corn has increased a bit this year, reaching 2359 yuan per ton.In September last year, the price of corn was only about 1 yuan per ton.

However, the current price of corn is not the highest price in history.At its most expensive, the price of corn seemed to be close to 3000 yuan per ton.

Back at the farm, Chen Mo's father and father-in-law also came back, as well as a middle-aged man in his forties.

Chen Mo put Lin Ling and his mother down and went to the valley to discuss the construction plan of the cow and sheep sheds.

The cost of building cow and sheep sheds that can ensure the smooth wintering of cattle and sheep ranges from low to high, ranging from more than 100 to more than 500 per square meter.

The difference in cost is not only the difference in material selection, but also the design.No matter what, the more expensive it is, the better.you get what you pay for……

The floor of the cowshed, which is more than 100 square meters per square meter, is not hardened, but is directly made of dirt.The cowshed is a steel frame structure, with sandwich colored steel tiles used around and on the roof... This kind of cowshed or sheep house is cheap and very common in local rural areas.

A cowshed with an area of ​​more than 500 square meters has the feel of a modern breeding farm.

Seeing that Chen Mo and the others were undecided, the contractor took them out to see some cow sheds, sheep sheds, and the approximate cost.

Both Chen Mo’s father and his father-in-law were interested in a double-row closed house, which means that there are two rows of cow beds or sheep beds in the house. The two rows of cow beds or sheep beds are raised head-to-head, with a passage in the center...

When I came back from outside, my father-in-law drove the car: "In-laws, do you want to raise cattle or sheep?"

"It is said on the Internet that raising cattle is easier." Dad Chen said, "Cattle are also more profitable. The money you earn from raising a cow is equivalent to raising a dozen sheep. And managing a cow should be easier than managing a dozen sheep."

Lin Feng sat in the passenger seat: "The cycle of raising cattle is too long. The calves bought this year can only be sold next year. As for sheep, they can be bought and raised this year and sold at the end of the year..."

"Raise some. Build a small cowshed, and then build a big sheep barn. First raise more sheep, and less cows, and accumulate experience... When you have experience, it will not be too late to expand the scale." Chen Modao : "We just came here and it would be unwise to invest all our money rashly."

Lin Feng said 'hmm': "We can raise a dozen cows first. Several hundred sheep... we can circle some grassland and graze in separate areas."

New Zealand basically has zoned fenced grazing, and that’s because of New Zealand’s climate.New Zealand has a temperate maritime climate and a large area of ​​excellent grassland...

However, in the southern part of New Zealand's South Island, some places are still very cold in winter.In New Zealand, the land can be enclosed for grazing, and so can Chen Mo's valley pasture.

Partitioned fences for grazing have been done before in Inner Mongolia, but how do you put it?A model that is suitable for New Zealand and other countries may not be suitable for China.

It's not inappropriate.

There used to be a mesh fence, but it was later removed.

It was later demolished, but in recent years a fence has been put up again.

It’s not that grassland fences are bad, it just depends on how they are fenced.

The fence is completed to better protect the grassland.And this is also a necessary technical means for modern grassland management, playing an important role in grassland ecological protection, grassland management and grassland animal husbandry development.

The valley pasture is in the Greater Khingan Mountains, not on the prairie. It needs to be fenced, as long as you have money to invest.

"If we have a fence around, do we have to drive the sheep inside the fence every day?" Dad Chen said.

"No need." Lin Feng said: "Drive the sheep into the fenced pasture. Watch the weather forecast. If it's going to rain, drive the cattle and sheep back to the pen in advance. If it doesn't rain and the weather is better, just let the cattle and sheep stay in the pasture. …”

"This is pretty good. We can get a few shepherd dogs to come back and train them. From now on, the dogs will help us drive the cattle and sheep." Dad Chen said with a smile.

Lin Feng chuckled: "I will definitely raise a few shepherd dogs."

The main purpose of enclosing the grassland is to better protect the grassland.As for the valley pasture, there is no way to implement rotational grazing by drivers.If you really want to graze, you have to do fragmented management.That is, the grass circle...

"It's no problem to raise two thousand sheep in a valley of [-] acres," said Father Chen.

"Two thousand will definitely be no problem." Chen Mo said, "Just prepare more hay in winter."

"We still have to cut grass in the winter. How much grass can we cut in the remaining pastures in the valley pasture?"
