Let you go home and raise chickens, what the hell is this confinement center?

Chapter 19: Are there any new varieties for free?
"Hey, as long as I can raise them, how much do you sell your ducks for?"

Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and started picking and choosing in the aunt's box again.

After selecting a few, he paid quickly.

"I'm just curious, do different species taste different? Besides, I have a lot of space where I can raise them."

He has applied to dig a reservoir on the farm, and construction can begin once the procedures are approved.

It doesn’t matter if it’s not approved. You can get an outdoor inflatable pool and raise it there.

Lin Feng left with the basket, not noticing the indescribable look in the auntie's eyes behind him.

"This kid...I'm afraid he has no idea how much feed so many chickens and ducks will eat."

"Ah? What did you say?"

The aunt's husband, who was standing next to her, heard her mumbling and asked.

"Nothing said."

The aunt shook her head. She was just mumbling a few words and couldn't point fingers at others.

Maybe the young man knows what's going on.

When Lin Feng came out of the market, he had collected 103 chickens of different breeds, 35 ducklings, and 16 geese.

Of course, there are also some messy seeds.

He now somewhat understands the joy that girls feel when they shop.

Lin Feng put the little animals in the car carefully and put on an auntie smile on his face.

The little cubs are furry and their voices are soft, they are super cute.

After buying things, he will go to the agricultural supplies station and the animal husbandry station next.

The person in charge of the agricultural supply station was very efficient. As soon as he heard Lin Feng report his number of acres and planting plan, he calculated in seconds how many seeds Lin Feng needed.

Bag after bag of seeds were placed directly on the back of the pickup truck.

Lin Feng paid the money and was about to leave when the person in charge called him from behind.

However, after being called out, the man still looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

This made Lin Feng curious:
"Is there anything else?"

The person in charge cleared his throat and said:

"Well, don't you want to grow grass?"

"Ah."

Lin Feng nodded.

Didn't I just say that? The seeds have been loaded onto the truck.

"I have a batch of new forage grass seeds here. They are the latest research results of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Would you like to plant them?"

Lin Feng looked at the person in charge in confusion.

"……Is such that."

The person in charge took out an A4 paper from under the counter, which was covered with densely printed words.

Lin Feng took it and looked at it. It was the key points and policies for planting new forage grass.

Simply put, it means that farmers are willing to cooperate with the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and plant their new varieties of crops.

The Academy of Agricultural Sciences provides seeds free of charge and will send experts to provide one-on-one remote guidance.

During this period, you can also enjoy the government's support policies.

Of course, to enjoy these conditions, you also have to pay a price.

Cooperating farmers must record the entire growth process of crops and record in detail the data on crop growth diseases and per-acre yield.

If there is a breach of contract, the party must pay the Academy of Agricultural Sciences double the amount of money for the seeds.

"There is no other way."

The person in charge sighed and explained:
“When new varieties come on the market, farmers don’t know whether they are good or not, and they think it is not as stable as planting old varieties.”

“So, our promotion has always been difficult.”

"Especially this time it's pasture."

"In the eyes of the older generation, this kind of thing is not even considered a serious crop."

Lin Feng was also touched after hearing this.

"I know."

If he had not come back to open a farm and had not visited the agricultural machinery station, he would not have known that there are so many types of agricultural machinery and so many functions.

If good things cannot be promoted, they are almost the same as if they did not exist.

"However, what I want to say is that my land is not good land. It is all mountainous land and newly reclaimed land, which is not fertile enough."

"If you are promoting new varieties, wouldn't it be safer to plant them in good land?" Lin Feng felt that this kind of thing needed to be made clear.

What if it doesn’t meet the requirements?

"That's fine. The newer the variety, the more diverse the planting scenario."

The person in charge knew that Lin Feng's words meant there was hope, so he quickly went to look for the contract on the shelf behind him.

For this kind of thing, you have to be happy to communicate with young people.

Unfortunately, the people who bought seeds here in the past few years were either full-time buyers from large farms or some elderly people over 50 years old, and they would not take this kind of job.

"The forage grass promoted by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences this year is called Oriental chicory. It tastes sweet and has higher nutritional value than ordinary forage grass."

"The most important thing is that it grows quickly. It is said that if you plant for one year, you can harvest for eight years."

Eight years?!
Lin Feng immediately captured the key words.

"Wait a minute, this contract won't be for eight years, right?"

His eyes widened, and he thought to himself that he must read the contract carefully after receiving it, so as not to fall into a trap unknowingly.

Eight years? How many eight years can one have in life?
What if his farm doesn’t survive for eight years?
When starting a business, there is always a risk of failure.

"no no."

The person in charge waved his hands and explained:
"The chicory contract is for three years. It's up to you whether you want to continue growing it after that."

Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, the person in charge smiled again:
"In fact, even if you want eight years, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences will not agree to it because the price of Oriental chicory is much more expensive than the alfalfa you bought."

"Here, take a look at the contract."

"I have to remind you that the winter is cold here, and the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is testing the cold resistance of Oriental chicory, so you need to leave the chicory in the ground to see how likely it is to survive the next year."

Lin Feng took the contract and looked through it carefully.

The contract is relatively reasonable, and all the terms are clearly written and easy to understand.

"Then I'll give it a try with three acres of land."

Lin Feng made the final decision.

"Okay, I'll register you."

The person in charge took out the registration book, and Lin Feng saw that there were only two names on it. Including him, there were only three people willing to plant.

Fill in your information quickly.

The person in charge's eyes lit up:
"Are you from Xiong'er Village?!"

"That's great. Experts may come to your house to provide guidance."

Lin Feng was a little confused: "Doesn't it say in the contract that it is remote guidance?"

"Because there is a professor from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences who, together with a group of students from the Agricultural University, opened up an experimental field in Xiong'er Village."

The person in charge had an expression that could only be understood:

"You know what it means to be close to the water."

"Oh."

Lin Feng nodded disinterestedly.

He planned to go back and search the Internet for more information about this Oriental chicory.

If that doesn’t work, you can always ask those students.

Speaking of students, Lin Feng took out the list they gave him and asked the person in charge:
"Look at the fruit trees and vegetables listed above. Are there any of them here?"

The moment the person in charge saw the list, his eyes almost popped out of his head.

"You probably have seventy or eighty kinds of things, right?!"

"Well, young man, the purpose of opening a farm is not to study biodiversity. You don't need to buy so much."

"The key points for growing each plant are different. You're going to tire yourself out like this!"

The person in charge waved his hand and started deleting and reducing things.

He simply crossed out some things that had no local market and were difficult to grow.

"I can help you reserve these, but it will take half a month to get them. Pay the deposit and go back and wait for the call."

Lin Feng was literally kicked out of the agricultural supply station by the person in charge.

However, he knew that the other party meant well and did not care.

Next, he had to go to the livestock station.

The small animals he just bought have not been vaccinated, so he needs to buy some more vaccines.
