Chapter 182 Gobi Plants and America’s Trouble
Under the wave of rapid development of the Internet, agricultural websites in our country have also sprouted up like mushrooms after a rain.
However, due to the weak position of agriculture and the low return on investment of agricultural websites, the number of agricultural websites is still relatively small.
Moreover, the websites have few functions and similar services, and most of them have come to an end.
Guo Yang’s idea came from Huinong.com, which he had contact with in later generations, and his impression was that he did a pretty good job.
Therefore, Guo Yang also learned from it and was a free chess player for the time being, incubating it first.
The situation of Tianhe is also sufficient support.
I caught Qu Yang chatting all morning, had a meal, and took a lunch break. Qu Yang hurriedly went to inspect the preparations for the corn harvest demonstration meeting.
Yu Xiaochuan also went to receive the inspection group from Chifeng with his face in hand.
Guo Yang was processing documents in the office, looking at the report from Tianhe Production Department asking for instructions on whether to continue signing seed production contracts with farmers next year.
It turned out that his plan was to rotate alfalfa fields with corn seed production.
Now it seems that it will take a while.
Alfalfa No. 1 will produce seeds next year, but crop rotation is not possible yet. There is no seed processing plant in Wuyuan yet.
Damn!
Do we still have to let farmers produce seeds?
The market environment for seed production land is already chaotic enough. Land prices are inflated, isolation belts are unqualified, and seeds from seed producers are prone to cross-selling...
I forgot to ask Qu Yang.
Guo Yang had no thoughts for a moment, so he simply let it go.
Looking at the busy Ning Xiaojing, Guo Yang asked: "How well do you understand the business of the group's subsidiaries?"
Ning Xiaojing raised her head in surprise. A faint blush appeared on her pretty face.
When will the boss care about people?
Routine care?
"It's okay. I basically have a general understanding, and the business department is also very cooperative."
Guo Yang nodded, looked at the sunny sky outside the window, and said: "Notify Luo Xiu , I will go to the Gobi later to have a look."
Xie Shijie just called and said that some results have been achieved in the survey plan.
"Okay."
Ning Xiaojing felt that the boss's behavior of looking out the window was a bit unnatural. After he walked away, she realized that her neckline was a bit low. Looking from top to bottom, she could see a hint of arrogance. People are as white as snow.
Recalling the details just now, the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up slightly, "Pretend, you continue to pretend for me."
At about a little after five o'clock in the afternoon, Guo Yang and Luo Xiu went I didn't take Ning Xiaojing with me when I went to the Gobi. She got tanned and didn't feel good.
The type of Gobi between Jiuquan and Jiayuguan is complex and can be roughly divided into two categories: erosional type and accumulation type.
The overall feeling given to Guo Yang is that the ground is flat, slightly undulating, and mainly composed of gravel and gravel.
The diameter of the gravel is mostly 3-10 cm, sometimes rounded, sometimes with sharp edges.
Under long-term sunlight, the gravel has a paint surface, and the colors appear dark black, oil black, gray, light white, etc.
The car drives carefully all the way.
The vegetation on the Gobi is sparse, mostly desert plants such as scattered red sand and bubble red. The plants are short and mostly in a semi-dormant state.
However, you can also see better-growing ephedra clusters in erosion ditches or small sand piles, and occasionally taller Haloxylon ammodendron, Caragana and other shrubs are distributed.
We arrived at our destination about half an hour later.
Several pickup trucks and trucks were parked in the Gobi. Beside the vehicles were parked equipment and an excavator.
The arrival of the off-road vehicle alarmed the crowd. Xie Shijie took a look at the vehicle and its license plate.
“The boss is here.”
Guo Yang saw Xie Shijie's dark face as soon as he got out of the car, and joked: "You're going to be burned into coal. Your fiancée will dislike you when you take wedding photos!"
"Hey, it's already been taken. ”
Xie Shijie smiled and said he didn’t mind. Although the office environment at the group headquarters is comfortable, it is more free outside.
No one can control him.
What’s more, the boss also promised that after rotating various business sectors, a better position would be waiting for him.
We chatted for a while.
Ma Rui, head of the planning team of Agricultural University, introduced the situation in the Gobi.
“The situation is not very optimistic. Most of them are alluvial Gobi deserts, which are cemented by mud and calcium, interspersed with sand layers, and the gravel accumulation is particularly thick.”
“ Generally, it is tens to hundreds of meters, and the thickest one can reach seven or eight hundred meters. "The investment cost of development is very high, and the economic value is not high."
Ma Rui's face was very confused, but Agricultural University and Jiahe have been cooperating for a long time, and Ma Rui also knows Jiahe's style.
The more difficult it is, the more interesting it becomes.
"If you must buy it, you can consider sea buckthorn and wine grapes."
Ma Rui motioned Guo Yang to approach the dug hole and pointed to the exposed soil.
“The Gobi Desert has a hard texture. Judging from the cross-section we excavated, the soil is barren, with little organic matter and serious leakage.”
"Sea buckthorn has strong vitality, wide adaptability, relatively low afforestation costs, and fast forest formation. Its root system is huge, its branches are luxuriant, it retains water and prevents sand, and it has outstanding ecological benefits and can have certain economic value."
"Wine grapes have higher economic benefits, but there is still a lack of freeze-resistant and salt-resistant grape rootstocks. Currently, the School of Life Sciences of Agricultural University has a research plan in this area."
After a while, the planning team of Agricultural University was introduced. They all looked at Guo Yang curiously. Some of them were still students.
I am very curious about the famous Guo Yang.
But after watching it, they had only one feeling: ordinary.
Guo Yang smiled and said: "In terms of cultivation technology, are there any difficulties?"
"Xinjiang Province has experience in planting seabuckthorn in the Gobi, but it has no reference value. Now we have preliminary ideas.
For hard soil, first use machinery to open ditches with wide and narrow rows, and determine the row spacing of 4m to suit mechanical harvesting later;
Arrange drip irrigation, and carry out drip irrigation every 1.5 meters according to the distance between seabuckthorn plants, and dig after the soil is moist. Otherwise, you can’t dig it;
Then plant sea buckthorn in spring and autumn, and configure the male and female ratio.”
Xie Shijie also said: "In this way, there is no need to replace soil or a small amount of soil. The cost of reconstruction is estimated to be reduced to 1,250 yuan per mu, but the technical requirements are higher."
"Growing grass. "What?" Guo Yang asked. According to his original intention, it would be better for the desert to be restored to pasture.
Ma Rui said: "The wind in the Gobi is strong, and trenches must be dug. The grass seeds sown may be killed by stones as soon as they emerge. When the sea buckthorn trees grow up, they can also provide shelter for other vegetation. It’s not too late to sow grass seeds.”
Guo Yang nodded and thought about what they said. Overall, planting sea buckthorn is indeed the best choice.
And he also harvested a large amount of seabuckthorn planting resources from the Xinjiang Provincial Biological Desert Research Institute and the nursery in Qinghe County.
Suddenly, Guo Yang remembered another plant that Liu Tingen took him to collect: Gebao kenaf, a Gobi treasure buried for thousands of years and far away from pollution.
It can also grow on gravel deserts, and it has unique natural green health effects: clearing fat and lowering blood pressure, relieving depression and calming the nerves, and delaying aging.
Gebao kenaf was once on the verge of extinction, but in 2002, Liu Qitang, an entrepreneur known as the madman, chose to go to Xinjiang Province to save the remaining 123 acres of Gebao kenaf.
We also cooperated with a large number of scientists and academicians of the two academies to cultivate experimental sites and establish R&D bases.
We are currently preparing to form a company next year to carry out large-scale no-till bionic planting. Thinking of this, Guo Yang also had thoughts. Anyway, the Gobi area is so large, it would be great to try more crops.
Subsequently, a group of people took Guo Yang to see several other Gobi types of points, and Guo Yang finally knew what they were like.
Guo Yang also named this desert desert Jiahe Desert.
However, the planning needs to continue to be improved.
Guo Yang especially emphasized the need to select a core area for improvement first, so that the group headquarters can be built in the future.
In addition, the planning of nurseries for various plants must also keep up, and their construction must also be given priority.
Just put the rest aside first.
Because Guo Yang’s temporary annual budget for this Gobi is only 30 million.
Working hard until the sun sets in the west and the sunset fills the sky, the group of people go back and find a place to cook.
Guo Yang casually asked Xie Shijie: "Have you discussed the water issue?"
Xie Shijie said with a smile: "There is no unified management department in the Tuolai River Basin now. Agricultural water is still under the management of water conservancy, but water fees are often difficult to collect. If Jiahe uses water, there will definitely be no problem in approval.
That is, the upper reaches of the basin are still under water management for the time being. There is no regulation and storage project, and the water flow is uneven throughout the year, concentrated from July to September. Water disputes are often prone to occur when the water flow is low.
The main reason is that farmland still uses backward flood irrigation, and the utilization is relatively extensive. "
Guo Yang looked at Xie Shijie in surprise and said jokingly: "Okay, it's not in vain. I see you running around in the field every day. I thought you went to find your wife to fall in love with. "
Xie Shijie snorted, "There is another piece of information. Jiayuguan is planning a new urban area on both sides of the Tuolai River and building a new city on 70 square kilometers of exposed Gobi beach. However, the preliminary projects should be around the Tuolai River. Laihe Construction of 'Two Lakes and One River' Ecological Project"
70 square kilometers, or 105,000 acres of land, is really a generous amount.
"Jiayuguan is really rich. When is the construction expected to start?"
"It is estimated to start around 2008."
"You knew it three years in advance?"< br>
“My wife told me, boss, I think it’s time for you to think about life’s major events. My wife’s workplace has many gentle and lovely girls that she can introduce to you.”
< br>
"You're not married yet."
"It's the same, do you think about it?"
"A woman will only affect the speed of my farming."
Xie Shijie curled his lips.
In the evening, the group found a barbecue restaurant, had some skewers of red willow barbecue and two bottles of beer.
"The red willow barbecue skewers are still good, and the skewers are big and meaty. They should be promoted to coastal cities."
Ma Rui said with a smile: "No, if you promote it, many places will be cut into pieces in the future. , this thing is cold-resistant and salt-alkali resistant, and it is a good helper in preventing and fixing sand, but it grows too slowly."
Guo Yang thought about the red willow barbecue that would be spread all over the country in later generations, which seemed to make sense.
While grilling the barbecue, Guo Yang thought, he could also plant a piece of tamarisk and become self-sufficient in the future.
It’s almost time to take some time to study in retreat and cultivate new seeds.
The breeder's personality must also be maintained.
How can I have time to think about love?
At the same time.
Yu Xiaochuan also led a group of people to have a toast with the inspection team from Chifeng.
A powerful and majestic man from Inner Mongolia came to Yu Xiaochuan with a bottle of Wusu.
"Mr. Yu, Chifeng is located in a golden grassland zone with a vast area..."
...
Island country.
Barnes, with gray hair on his temples, watched the stacks of alfalfa bales being transferred from the warehouse to the truck, but there was no trace of joy on his face.
Just because this bale does not belong to Nitro Company.
Nitro's remaining island customers are also reducing orders since the Dairy Growers Association's last alfalfa order was cut in half.
Those who have not decreased are also constantly bargaining.
I feel more confident.
This reminded Barnes of the news that came back last time, the Chinese alfalfa!
Barnes does not believe in evil.
In order to grow high-quality alfalfa, they often need to select the most suitable land, strictly test the soil, select excellent varieties, and apply fertilizer appropriately...
Step by step, there are strict requirements.
The American grass quality grade system is even more stringent than the race system in this country.
In order to gain huge profits from the export market every year, American alfalfa producers select the best from the best. Only two to three million tons of tens of millions of tons of alfalfa products can be selected for export.
The processing and storage techniques and methods are also top-notch in the world. It can be said that they have reached the limit in all aspects.
How could the Chinese alfalfa be better than the American one!
But the orders were actually decreasing. For this reason, he came to the island country and saw alfalfa from China.
He admitted that from the appearance, the Chinese alfalfa bales were perfect. Not only were there no grass roots, seeds, soil, etc., but there were also very few weeds.
The island country’s consistent rule is that if the weed content exceeds 5%, money will be deducted, which gives people in China a headache.
The canvas of the packaging is also particular.
But what surprised Barnes was the compressed density of the alfalfa bales, which looked very tight to the naked eye.
He couldn't even believe his own judgment. The Chinese people's secondary compression technology was better than Nitro's.
You must know that the degree of secondary compression can not only reduce transportation costs, but also ensure that alfalfa moisture is not easily lost, extend storage time, and reduce nutrient losses.
How did the Chinese do it?
Barnes approached Shintaro Iwata of the Dairy Growers Association who needed to understand what his customers wanted.
"Mr. Iwata, I admit that the alfalfa products from China are good, but if you choose Chinese alfalfa because of its more favorable price, I think Nitro Company can also talk to you."
Iwata He smiled meaningfully, "It's not because of the price."
Barnes frowned, "Is that because of genetic modification? Nitro's products have passed your review."
"No."
"Why is that?" Bass asked in a low voice.
"In fact, the price of Chinese alfalfa exported to island countries is higher than that of the United States."
Barnes stared at Iwata with burning eyes as if he had seen a ghost.
“Because China’s alfalfa is of higher quality than America’s, and its protein, amino acid, fiber and other qualities are two or three points higher than your super-grade forage.”
“Impossible!”
Iwata looked at Barnes who was a bit gaffe-like, but still smiled and said: “There is nothing impossible, this is a fact, after our feeding experiments during this period,< br>
The milk production and milk protein rate of dairy cows eating Chinese alfalfa have increased, and other livestock and poultry have also improved. You can ask about it, it has been spread. ”
Barnes asked Iwata for a nutritional content test sheet for Alfalfa No. 1, and the numbers on it kept irritating his eyes.
America is in trouble!
He wanted to know how the Chinese grew alfalfa of such high quality
