Chapter 360

It's the ninth day of the Lunar New Year when we return to Mushan County, and all the workers at Mushan Ranch have been back to work for several days.

It’s another new year, and it’s started off uneventfully.

After the Chinese New Year, the demand for calves and lambs increased significantly in the cattle and sheep trading market.

The county is supporting farmers in raising cattle and sheep, and providing subsidies to individual farmers.The subsidy is 100 yuan for a sheep and 800 yuan for a cow.

This subsidy is already very high, but it only targets retail investors.The county hopes that rural areas can develop. Referring to the family ranch in Wushan New Village, although it is difficult to make a fortune raising beef, it can still achieve an income similar to that of going out to work, which is already very good.

You must know that it has been difficult for migrant workers to find jobs outside in recent years.

Chen Mo went back and made future work arrangements with Zhou Hao.

This year's Boer goats will give birth to two litters.The other is the Han sheep. More than half of the more than 1 female Han sheep have given birth, and the early Xiaohan sheep are almost ready to be sold as lambs.

Boer goats are also giving birth.

This year it plans to produce more than 50 lambs.Half of the lambs produced are sold in the market, and half are sold directly to local breeding farms in Wushan, and then they also raise some themselves.

There is also the sale of pasture.

"There is still a surplus of forage in our pasture." Zhou Hao said: "I think we can put some dry forage for sale in the market."

"Yes." Chen Mo said: "silage can also be found in the market. The delivery price for farms in Mushan County is 350 yuan per ton."

Zhou Hao nodded.

350 yuan per ton of silage is not cheap.The sales volume of silage in the market should not be very good.

There is also hay. The hay on sale is mainly sweet elephant grass. It costs 1000 yuan per ton, which is not cheap.

For example, if you harvest corn stalks specifically, you can get 1 ton of dry stalks for three to four hundred yuan.Corn stalks can also be used to feed cattle and sheep. All you need is a kneading machine or a granulator.

Dried sweet elephant grass costs 1000 yuan per ton, which is a bit expensive.But sweet elephant grass is certainly much better than corn stover.

Chen Mo and Zhou Hao were discussing things when someone knocked on the door: "Mr. Chen."

"Please come in." Chen Mo stood up, saw Zhang Weimin, and said with a smile: "What kind of wind blew Secretary Zhang here."

Zhang Weimin smiled and said, "I want to discuss something with you."

"what's up."

"Can you leave some seeds of sweet elephant grass in your pasture?" Zhang Weimin said: "Your sweet elephant grass production seems to be very high. Leave some seeds to promote in Mushan. Our county is encouraging farmers to raise cattle and sheep, sweet elephant grass It’s very good feed.”

Sweet elephant grass has a very good sugar content and is used to feed cattle and sheep, especially grass and hay, which cattle and sheep particularly like to eat.It's also good for fermented ones.

Chen Mo glanced at Zhou Hao, then at Zhang Weimin, and said with a smile: "As much as you need."

"Leave five hundred acres of land for planting."

"Five hundred acres of planting is enough to plant thousands of acres," Chen Mo said.

“If you promote it throughout the county, keep more of it.”

"No problem. The seeds should be left around the end of March or mid-April." Chen Mo said.

Zhang Weimin clasped his hands in his fists: "Thank you very much. How do you calculate the money for that sweet elephant grass species?"

“1000节150元嘛。网上的价格，1000节200元左右，我这里少50元。”

"can."

Chen Mo smiled and said: "Isn't it too little to leave only 500 acres? Otherwise, leave 1000 acres." "How many fields can be planted with 1000 acres."

"Plant more intensively, about four to five thousand acres. If the distance is farther apart, you can plant seven to eight thousand acres, or even more. I have high-density planting here."

Zhang Weimin sat here for a while. After leaving, Chen Mo looked at Zhou Hao and spread his hands.

"Mushan's large-scale planting of sweet elephant grass will have an impact on us?" Zhou Hao said.

"It won't have a big impact, right?" Chen Mo thought for a moment and then said, "It mainly depends on the scale of breeding."

Sweet elephant grass has a high yield.

Even if there is no spiritual spring irrigation, as long as the sweet elephant grass is well managed, it can produce 20 tons of green grass per year.As for higher output, it is more difficult.

20 tons of grass are used to make 15 tons of silage... The price per ton will never be less than 300 yuan.Otherwise, planting sweet elephant grass is not as good as planting corn.

As time goes by, more cattle and sheep are raised here in Wushan, and the sweet elephant grass can still be digested.

Things are well arranged at Mushan Ranch.

It's March, and Chen Mo and the others plan to go to XZ.Lin Feng didn't want to go, and Chen Mo's parents didn't want to go either. They took care of their children at home.

Chen Ye is in kindergarten.In fact, it doesn't matter to Chen Mo whether he can go to kindergarten or not. He still wants to take his children out for a walk and gain experience, but his parents are worried about altitude sickness and don't want Chen Ye to go.

Chen Mo and a group of young people made an appointment.

Chen Mo, Cheng Tang, Zhang Cheng, Zhou Furui, and Zhou Jie set out in five RVs.

Lin Ling left Xiao Ha to her parents to take care of her, and she and Chen Mo lived in a world of two.

Get in the car and go.

Lin Ling sat in the passenger seat and applied lipstick, looking very beautiful.

Set off in the morning, take the highway, and arrive in Lijiang before evening.

The next day we went to Shangri-La to recuperate.Followed to Linzhi...then to LS...to the Everest Base Camp...continued north to XJ, and then came back from Qinghai...

I traveled for two months and came back in May.

Mushan is operating normally and has sold 26 lambs this year.Later, lambs were also sold every day.

The first batch of sheep raised in Wushan New Village has already been sold.

The family pastures are all semi-grazing. At first, there were two, three, or three or four sheep per acre of land... Later, as we kept raising sheep, I felt that raising sheep was quite simple.Moreover, Mushan Ranch has silage and pellet feed. At the back... one acre of land is basically allocated to ten sheep, or even more.

On 20 acres of land, even the smallest one raises 200 sheep.The first batch of sheep for sale has been raised for more than a year, and they are all large sheep weighing more than [-] kilograms.This kind of sheep has a high slaughter rate and a good price.The price of live sheep is basically [-] to [-] yuan.

Big sheep cost more than 3000 yuan each.

Well-raised people get almost half of the profit.

Farmers with little land have already earned 6 to 10,000 yuan because their sheep have not been sold out yet.If all are sold out, if there are no people left to die, we should be able to earn 30+ or ​​even [-].

For farmers in rural areas, sheep sheds are not standardized, and most of them use sheep cot designs. Raising two hundred sheep requires two laborers, which is still very hard.Raising sheep in the countryside seems to be much better than going out to work outside.

With the emergence of the first batch of profitable farmers, the work of promoting cattle and sheep breeding on family pastures in Mushan County has become easier.Even without promotion, farmers are actively cooperating.

The farmers in Wushan New Village have made money, and many young people working outside have also chosen to return to the countryside.Build a new house, jointly build a breeding farm, a new pasture...
