The sudden visit of John Brown and his three companions did not affect the Locke family’s schedule. After visiting the farm at Meridian Farm, the group continued to fly to Alvin’s farm.

In addition to the two Airbus H125s, there was another Bell 47 Dragonfly helicopter in the flight formation, in which Bill and Arroyo were both sitting.

Bell 47 Dragonfly Helicopter

When the farm was purchased before, three small helicopters were added.

Meridian Farm had a Bell 47, but it was a bit old, 12 years old, so it was disposed of.

Only two helicopters were left at Alvin Farm, a 5-year-old Bell 47 and a 3-year-old Robinson R22.

The Bell 47 that Bill is currently driving was originally from Alvin Farm, and the other Robinson R22 was assigned to Hubble Farm.

When Susan Hubble escaped from Lebec, she took away another Bell 407 from Hubble Farm.

A few minutes later, the three helicopters landed on a farm adjacent to the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

Because this farm is next to the mountains, it is different from the flat plains of Meridian Farm. It is half plain and half hilly.

The farm has a total area of ​​4,065 acres, and the cultivated land accounts for most of it, with 3,200 acres, and the remaining 500 acres are orchards and 365 acres of pastures.

When we arrived at this farm, Bill became the one who explained it. Compared with Arroyo’s previous restraint, Bill was much more casual.

After briefly explaining the current situation of the farm, Bill said: “Because the farm mainly grows fruits and vegetables, the demand for water is very large. At least ten wells need to be added to meet the needs of the farm. Because the cost of drilling wells is a bit high, the previous farmers have not added wells…”

Bestfield has developed agriculture. Although there is the Kern River, groundwater is still over-exploited, resulting in new wells having to be drilled deeper.

The cost of an agricultural water well ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands depending on the depth.

This farm is close to the Nevada Mountains and has hard geology. It can be foreseen that the cost of drilling wells will be higher than other places.

Jester replied directly: “Contact the well-drilling company to come and explore!”

Arroyo interrupted: “We can apply for subsidies for water wells, and we can probably get 15%-20% subsidies…”

Jester nodded and praised: “Arroyo, we are not good at planting, so make good use of your expertise. The Locke family will not treat anyone unfairly!”

Arroyo hurriedly said: “I will definitely cooperate with Bill’s work with all my heart!”

Yes, he knows his position very well.

Locke glanced at Arroyo and had to say that Jester was still very good at judging people. The reason why he left this Mexican in charge of Meridian Farm should be that he saw that he was more honest.

At this time, Li Bo asked, “Can our farm pass the organic certification?”

Arroyo shook his head and said, “Meridian Farm is not good. The organic matter content of the soil does not meet the standard. Fertilizers and pesticides were used more heavily before. I don’t know about Alvin. It needs to be tested…”

Li Bo said, “I suggest that the farm be turned into an organic farm. Although the use of organic fertilizers will increase the cost of planting, once it passes the organic audit, the price of our agricultural products can be increased by at least 50%. Maybe the vegetables grown on the farm can enter the Whole Foods Market!”

Marian echoed, “Todd is right. We should transform to high-end agriculture!”

Jester pondered and said, “You can discuss it with Henry and Lacey later!”

After visiting Alvin’s farm, the Locke family left. This time Bill and Arroyo did not accompany them.

Because the next destination of Locke and his group is Gosford, the Locke family bought 40 acres of land in Gosford to build Locke Manor.

Gosford is located on the outskirts of Besquefield, only 25 minutes’ drive from the city center.

Although this piece of land is only 40 acres, it cost more than 3 million US dollars. Just because it is close to the city, the entire city is radiating outward step by step.

Locke’s plane did not land, but just circled twice over this 40-acre square farm and left.

Because there is nothing to see, most of the farm is barren.

There are only green plants in the southeast corner, where there is a typical farm villa with a construction area of ​​about 400 square meters, just like other farms and manors around.

Besquefield Farm Manor

Li Bo asked: “What do you think?”

Locke replied while operating the gear lever: “I don’t have any ideas. Let’s take a look at the designer’s plan. However, the house feels like it’s built on the farm, so it’s best to use all of this land to build a manor…”

Locke Manor Expected Picture

Li Bo was shocked: “Isn’t this too big!” Locke replied: “Dad, this time next year, we will be different again!” Such a large manor will take at least a year to build. By next year, both he and the Locke family will be several times more powerful, and it will not be a problem to own a 40-acre manor in a fourth-tier city like Besquefield. Locke and his friends returned to Locke Farm before noon and just caught up with lunch. As soon as Locke entered the house, Aunt Lacey asked: “When will your friend come?” “Hasn’t he arrived yet? ”

Locke was a little surprised. When they talked on the phone in the morning, Skye Spears said that he would be there around 10 am.

He immediately took out his mobile phone and prepared to call Skye. At this time, the roar of a helicopter came from outside.

“It should be them…”

Locke put away his mobile phone and saw that the familiar Sikorsky S76 had already flown over the farm. He immediately went to meet it.

Sikorsky S76

He planned to let Deborah fly over the Houghton Manor for reconnaissance.

But when the plane landed, Locke saw that the person flying the plane was Solomon, and Juliet was in the co-pilot seat. He was stunned for a moment.

Could it be that Skye, this woman, said the wrong thing!

He asked her to bring his bald eagle pet over, not Miss Greenberg!

As soon as the plane stopped, Locke bent down to meet it. The rear door of the Sikorsky S76 opened immediately. He saw Daisy Greenberg in a black dress at a glance. and the huge bird cage placed in the aisle on the other side.

The bald eagle, who was a little airsick, immediately chirped when he saw Locke, and regained some vitality.

Fortunately, the two Miss Deborahs came together.

Locke extended his hand to Miss Greenberg and asked with a smile: “Why didn’t you tell me in advance…”

Daisy Greenberg had a cold face. Seeing that Locke still had no joy on his face, she naturally put her hand in his.

Locke led Miss Greenberg off the helicopter, and then looked at Skye Spears, who was sitting upright on the other side. Next to her was a middle-aged woman in her thirties with black hair, dressed very professionally, and should be from a banquet service company.

Seeing him looking over, the woman squeezed out a smile.

Obviously, being in the same cabin with Miss Greenberg was not a pleasant journey for them.

Well, it could also be because of the other Miss Deborah.

“Welcome to Rock farm!”
