Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

Chapter 67 Breaking the Historical Record
"I'm not asking you to manage the sideline group, but to assign duck farming to the breeding group. You have the final say.

I still say, provide the people and supplies, and get the [Duck Farm Symbiosis] off the ground for me."

Zheng Xianfa was still thinking about the 500 ducklings that Secretary Tang had promised him personally. The ducks that the sideline team had previously raised in the fields looked very ordinary and were not as well-grown as those raised in the experimental fields.

Based on the principle of "those who are capable should do more work", the team decided to hand over the duck farming to the breeding group.

[Duck-field symbiosis] is a new production model, so it is reasonable to hand it over to the other party.

"Alright, the team needs to build a new [poultry house] when we get back."

Fang Wei saw that Zheng Xianfa had no intention of discussing with him at all, which was equivalent to giving orders directly.

However, he was not opposed to taking on this task. After all, when the time came, more people would be added and he would just have to speak, and he would not have to do any specific work.

But if he did that, he wouldn't be able to drive the ducks from his home to the experimental fields to graze next year.

Of course, this is not a big deal for him. The ducks at home grow fast and have a high egg-laying rate, so it doesn't matter even if they consume more feed.

But the number of chickens and ducks raised is always a problem. Without a legitimate excuse, he couldn't raise so many chickens and ducks.

"I'll take care of the preparations. Also, before next year's spring plowing, find a chance to sell the ducks you raised. Just keep a few or three to avoid any future grievances."

The team decided to vigorously develop duck farming, and it would be a bit unreasonable for Fang Wei to raise so many ducks by himself.

It’s not that Zheng Xianfa is stingy, but it’s for the other party’s good, so that others won’t catch him in the future.

"Understood! I'll slowly get rid of the ducks at home."

Although Fang Wei felt it was a pity, he would not lose the big picture for the small one.

Before the Spring Festival, he planned to sell most of the ducks to avoid trouble.

In the future, raising three ducks and three chickens at home should be enough.

Time flies.

In a blink of an eye, it was time to harvest the experimental fields.

Zheng Xianfa and the team cadres were all present and sent a group of strong laborers to help.

The 20 acres of experimental field were harvested in one day.

The rest of the work did not require help from other members. Fang Wei and his 16 team members quickly completed the threshing, drying and other tasks.

Then comes the weighing, which is the highlight.

A total of 15 kilograms of rice were harvested from the [Nanguang No. 7020] indica rice planted in a 468-acre experimental field, with an average yield of kilograms per mu.

In addition, 5 mu of land was planted with [Nongken 58] japonica rice, and a total of 2745 kilograms of rice were harvested, with an average yield of 549 kilograms per mu.

As soon as these two data came out, there was an uproar at the scene.

Zheng Xianfa walked over, grabbed a handful of [Nanguang No. 58] rice in one hand and a handful of [Nongken ] rice in the other hand, his eyes a little moist.

Although this is only data from the experimental field, the yield of these two types of rice grown in the field will definitely not meet the current standards.

But a substantial increase in grain production is foreseeable.

Others like Fang Wenshu even shed tears on the spot.

As for the other members, some were singing, some were dancing, and some were even shouting.

Everyone was having fun.

"Captain, everyone, we can start sowing the second-generation seeds of [Nan Guang No. 1] next spring. Currently, the i-genetic characteristics of [Nan Guang No. 1] are very stable and can be promoted on a large scale."

Fang Wei took this opportunity to once again strengthen everyone's determination to plant [Nan Guang No. 1].

However, he did not mention [Nongken 58]. One must eat one bite at a time and not be too impatient. Let's wait until next year.

[Harvest crops, points +7020]

[Harvest crops, points +2745]

Total points: 15560

Please note that the existing [Nanguang No. 600] rice seed is about to reach its upper limit of yield per mu, which is 650- kilograms per mu.

[Please note that the existing 'Nongken 58' rice variety is about to reach its yield limit of 700-750 catties per mu.] [Changing the rice variety may lead to a higher yield per mu.]

The information prompt flashed before his eyes. While everyone was still going crazy, Fang Wei walked to a distance to check.

He now finally knows the upper limit of the yield of these two types of rice.

According to the current actual situation, the maximum yield per mu of [Nanguang No. 650] is 58 jin, and the maximum yield per mu of [Nongken 750] is jin.

The basic variety of [Nanguang No. 1] is the rice seed that the team has planted in the past. After repeated enhancement of its properties, its potential has been fully released.

Even if we continue to plant in the designated area in the future, the yield per mu will not increase at all.

In order to achieve a breakthrough, you can only look for better varieties and then sow them in designated [planting areas] to maximize the superimposed effect of attribute characteristics.

The same goes for [Nongken 58]. The seeds mailed by Wu Maosheng's friend were not the final varieties, but incomplete varieties, so the potential was not very high.

But at the moment, this kind of variety has made everyone in the second team ecstatic.

Half a month later.

The second team started the large-scale rice harvesting work.

Thanks to the surprises brought by the experimental fields, the final output of the main fields has given the members a certain level of psychological tolerance and expectation.

The yield per mu of large fields was 286 jin, a full 162 jin increase over the 124 jin per mu yield of early rice.

Zheng Xianfa felt very satisfied. Although it was not as good as the 325 kilograms per mu of early rice in the experimental field, the difference was not big.

This was a historic breakthrough. He ordered people to beat gongs and drums, and then gave big red flowers to Fang Wei, Zheng Hu and others.

The combined yield of two seasons of rice per mu this year is 448 jin, an increase of about 140 jin over the average level in previous years.

The team decided to distribute the rations immediately after the submitted public grain and requisitioned grain were stored in the warehouse.

This was mainly Zheng Xianfa's idea. He was worried that the longer the night went on, the more trouble he would face, and was afraid that the commune would assign him additional temporary procurement tasks if they found out.

But what he thought would not actually happen.

morning.

All the men, women, young and old in the village gathered in the threshing ground. They lined up consciously with happy smiles on their faces.

"Little scholar, you and the breeding team, come to the front and I'll distribute the food to you first."

Zheng Xianfa is not tall, but he looks very tall when standing there.

The team leader is capable and the members have a bright future.

If Captain Zheng had not fully supported the breeding work, how could we have such a bumper harvest today?
There is also the third son of the Fang family. This guy is really talented. Under the guidance of Wu Maosheng, he actually developed an excellent rice variety like [Nanguang No. 1].

At everyone's request, Zheng Xianfa was the first to distribute rice to the Fang family.

Next was Zheng Hu. This guy walked to the front and couldn’t help but raise his chin, looking very proud.

Fang Wei, Fang Ping and Tian Guihua each carried their loads and walked home.

Warm applause suddenly broke out in the threshing ground. Most people knew what was right and wrong, and this applause was a thank you to Fang Wei and all the members of the breeding team.

When the distribution of rations was halfway through, Tang Ze and other leaders of the commune came to the second team.

"Captain Zheng, you guys are really quick! Go get the account books. We want to see the actual production."

Tang Ze knew very well why the other party was so eager to distribute the rations, but he just made a joke and said no more.

Afterwards, the team accountant, Fang Wenshu and others reported the autumn harvest situation to the commune leaders and took out the account books.

"286 kilograms per mu? Impressive! Where's Fang Wei? Go call the main members of the breeding team over. I want to talk to them."

Tang Ze and others carefully checked the account book, went to the barn to take a look, and stayed at the grain distribution site for more than half an hour.

After verification, they determined that the second team's output was not falsely reported, and the late rice yield of 286 kilograms per mu was real data.
