American Ranch

Chapter 275
River Valley Ranch has been completely subdivided.

The valley ranch is reserved, and the land it owns includes the Dry Valley and the river valley, the small creek valley and the rolling hills below the reservoir, the Morro River Valley, the Santana Valley, and the Huaxi Canyon, with a total area of ​​1.4756 acres.

The alfalfa planting area includes the Dry River Valley. The area of ​​the Dry River Valley is 2470 acres, and the alfalfa planting area is about 2250 acres.

The Morro Valley, the Morro Valley is a breeding ground, but each feeding area has an alfalfa planting area, and the planting area is about 2300 acres.

The Santana Valley has an area of ​​4500 acres. There are feedlots and a dedicated alfalfa planting area, about 3600 acres.

In Huaxi Canyon, the land is basically covered by alfalfa grass, and there are about 920 acres of alfalfa grass.

All alfalfa, planted area of ​​9000 acres.

Alfalfa can be harvested once every two to three months. Among them, the alfalfa in Huaxi Canyon and Santana Valley has a high yield, with an annual output of more than 25 tons per acre. Fresh grass.In some areas, the annual output can reach about 35 tons.

The land in the Dry Valley is relatively dry, and irrigation is also troublesome.According to statistics last year, the average annual output per acre is about 16 tons of fresh grass.

The yield of alfalfa is not very easy to count, and the difference in water source, soil fertility, etc., yields a difference of one to two times.Space alfalfa has a greater demand for water, and the difference in yield can even reach more than three times in harsh and good environments.

Back at the ranch, Moxi sent the statistics of alfalfa.

There are 7820 acres of alfalfa that can be harvested. In the past, the river valley pastures needed to harvest as much as they needed, and they never thought of selling alfalfa outside.

"Boss, Mr. Bai and Mr. John Mike left early in the morning, here is the key."

"Yes." Chen Mo took the key.

Moxi took out another production list and handed it to Chen Mo: "We need to add 3 large harvesters with grass crushing function and 12 large trailers. The current feed factory still has a lot of room to dig..."

There used to be 2 large harvesters and several spare small harvesters in the pasture.

Two harvesters can harvest 100 acres of grass in one day.

Add 3 more larger machines, and you can harvest about 300 acres in a day.

But it cannot be calculated in this way. To maintain normal production, there must be backup machinery.Besides, it may not be possible to complete the workload on time and on time every day...

Chen Mo now has money in hand, he just sold the shares of Hegu Animal Husbandry, and Chen Mo has US$2.1576 million in his personal account.

Valley Ranch, for good omens, has $988 million in the account.

In addition, in the third-party account there is also a project fund of 1411 million US dollars, which is the construction of supporting facilities such as sewage treatment plants, manure plants, and power plants.

Sewage treatment, mainly sewage from biogas digesters.

According to the standards of the United States Department of Agriculture, the sewage that passes through the biogas tank must not meet the agricultural irrigation standards and must be treated again...

The reprocessed sewage, whether it is discharged or used for farmland irrigation, is fine.

This is a large-scale circulation system, and only the local tyrant ranch dares to play like this.I dare not even think about other ranches, they are fancy and expensive.

"Buy. You are now the CEO of Valley Ranch. You can make up your own mind about some small things." Chen Mo signed the document, pressed his hand, and asked Moxi to sit down and talk: "The 4811 ewes in our ranch, These are about to start being bred. Half of the people have been separated from the research institute, can Kang Si and the others still be busy?"

"Kons said there's nothing wrong with it." Moxi shook his head and said, "It's mainly about the alfalfa. I want to harvest the alfalfa as soon as possible and make it into hay for storage to avoid waste. There is nothing else to do. "

"Take a look around Huaxi Canyon more. Check the bred wagyu cattle, it seems that they are about to give birth soon. There are also calves of the Bright cattle. They were too busy before, and there are still many that need to be registered... These tasks were done by Bright before. , since that guy knew that I wanted to divide the ranch, his thoughts..."

Moxi patted his forehead: "I also forgot about this matter. But I think that registering cattle and sheep should be left to the regional farm manager."

"Anyway, there's only so much work in the current valley ranch. After you make all the arrangements, you should be very leisurely." Chen Mo laughed.

Valley ranch work, alfalfa, breeding, sheep and cattle, logistics.

The work of alfalfa includes harvesting, fertilizing, and taking care of fruit trees in the Dry Valley and Xiaoxi Valley. It belongs to the Ministry of Agriculture, and the entire department has 26 people.

Kang Si is still in charge of the breeding work, such as breeding, delivery, epidemic prevention and so on.But there is no need for them to carry out breeding work.There are 21 people in the whole department.

For cattle and sheep, there are two field managers. Hanke is in charge of Huaxi Canyon, and the head of the cattle field.The head of the sheep farm has not been formally determined, but a person named 'Brooke' is in charge for the time being.The main job is to be responsible for raising fat cattle, fat sheep, and cattle and sheep in the reproductive period.

There are 30 people in the cattle farm.40 people in the sheep farm.

Logistics, power station, pumping station, digester management, etc., a total of 15 people.

Counting the management department, there are 141 employees in the Valley Ranch.

For now, the job at the Valley Ranch is very easy, for a long time... At least this year, maybe next year, there will be no need to recruit people.

The busiest tasks in the former River Valley Ranch were milking, fresh milk production, and sales.All these jobs are now packaged and dumped... The current Valley Ranch is only engaged in production work.

After the milking factory of River Valley Farming is completed, the milk house of the Valley Ranch will be vacated. The Valley Ranch will still be engaged in the fresh milk business, but it will only be milked. Engage in marketing to the market.At least not anytime soon...

Chen Mo holds 30.00% of the shares of Nestle's San Beni factory. This part of the shares will not change in the next three years, even if Nestle makes additional investment.Or the factory will accept Hegu Animal Husbandry as a shareholder, and Chen Mo's shares will not change... This is what was written in the previous contract.What Chen Mo needs to fulfill is to provide a large number of high-quality goat milk sources for the Nestle San Beni factory... and this contract, Chen Mo also handed it over to Hegu Animal Husbandry.

Moxi scratched his head and looked at Chen Mo: "Well...does the alfalfa business charge the transportation fee of River Valley Farming? I met Brett this morning and talked to him about the transportation fee...he almost didn't Turn against me, I think you should go over and talk to him."

Chen Mo had a dark face: "Is the transportation cost expensive?"

"Transported from the Santana Valley, the longest one-way is 16 kilometers. With a large trailer, it costs more than [-] dollars in gas for a round trip. If you drive full horsepower a day, the cost of shipping is about About two thousand dollars." Moxi said with a serious expression while touching his chin.

Chen Mo was a little helpless: "Let's not be too dark, we pay for the freight ourselves, and we have to leave room for Hegu Animal Husbandry to be profitable. Otherwise..."

"$50 a ton of green grass. It is processed into feed and sold. According to the purchase price of fresh milk from Nestle's San Beni factory, there can be a high profit..."

"The higher the profit, the higher the profit. You can only catch big fish by setting a long line, and the fattened cattle are worth the money..." Chen Mo said, and he laughed a little awkwardly: "You... have nothing to do now?"

"No. Today's work is already... Oh, I remembered, I have to go to Huaxi Canyon, so I'm busy with work now."

This man is really idle now.

Chen Mo stopped him: "Wait."

"What?" Moxi laughed.

"You still live with Brett?"

"Well. Before long, Brett will be moving out..."

Chen Mo rubbed the stubble of his chin: "If I'm not on the ranch, you have to help take care of my pet. Before I was not on the ranch, Brett would help take care of it. Now it's not good to ask him for help."

"No problem." Moxi wanted to slip away as he said that.

"Go back to Brett and get back that set of spare keys..."

"OK, I have nothing to do, I'm busy with work."
