680. What to plant in the coming year (1/5)
However, it is not easy for him to rent out the farm, and there are no big farms in the South Island.
The reason for the imbalance in agricultural productivity in the North and South Islands is that the South Island has many mountains and high mountains, and the area of the mountain can account for 70% of the island, 21% of the hills, and the plains are only 9 percentage points, so there is no natural conditions for carrying out large farms.
When he heard that the farm might be rented out, someone's eyes lit up, and someone immediately asked:
"Hey man, what price are you going to rent it out? Some or all of it? I'm your neighbor Clark, I think we can talk."
Luo Bo smiled and said, "You are really active. Everyone knows that the king's farm has the best soil quality, right? But if you really want to rent it out, I'm interested."
Hani whispered: "Boss, don't rent your farm out, they will ruin your farm."
Wang Bo knows what's going on. The land in New Zealand is cultivated for a long time, which means planting one or two plants year after year, and the nutrients in the soil have long been squeezed out.
Therefore, in order to improve the harvest of crops, various ranches had to desperately use chemical fertilizers and nutrients into the farmland. If chemical products are used more, the soil quality will decrease, and even form a kind of earth plague.
Wensi’s farm is well protected in this regard, which is one of the reasons why they carry out multi-species cultivation and can better protect the land.
Unfortunately, the old man's children do not like the farm environment, otherwise their farm could be passed on from generation to generation.
So, he smiled and said, "Isn't it better for us to talk about this privately? Today isn't a farm rental auction? I remember discussing this year's planting season."
Mengduo nodded and said, "Yes, continue to discuss the crops we want to plant. I suggest everyone grow crops anyway."
"In the past ten years, the world's grain consumption has exceeded its production in nine years. That is to say, in these nine years, all countries have been paying for their capital. You know, right? So, you will definitely not lose money by growing food."
A middle-aged man wearing a cowboy hat sighed, "Who doesn't know? But Old Mengdo, why don't you tell everyone why the grain consumption exceeds the output? It's not that there is a problem with the global climate!"
"Yes, if there is such a damn drought next year as this year, we will all have to pay. If you pay for it, I won't even have money to find the ladies!"
Because he bought a farm, Wang Bo is now very concerned about the world's agricultural and food issues. As Mondo said, the world's grain stock has been less than the consumption in the past few years and has continued to decline.
To put it seriously, that is, the whole world is facing a food crisis, but this crisis is not due to weather, but the inflated population, changes in dietary habits and the impact of biofuels, which has led to the global food supply becoming tight.
He did not plan to grow food, so he quietly listened to the discussion on the side.
Kulao is a traditional agricultural planting area, and the varieties grown are relatively single, mainly barley, wheat, beer, corn, oats, soybeans, and peanuts.
It is not bad to engage in agricultural cultivation in New Zealand. This country lacks sufficient excellent arable land, so it is under pressure to supply and demand for food. It has not been able to achieve self-sufficiency so far and needs to be imported from Australia.
Someone walked to Wang Bo with a coffee cup and asked with interest: "Wang, if you want to grow vegetables, what kind of variety do you choose? Peas, Marisa, onions, sweet corn?"
Someone next to him turned around and shouted happily: "Ha, sweet corn? I like this thing, Bick, how did you know I brought sweet corn?"
Bick, who was holding a coffee cup, rolled his eyes and said, "I don't know. I'm not interested in discussing economic issues with foodies."
"Then you have the will of not eating my roasted corn later!" the man said dissatisfied.
Bick quickly smiled: "I'm kidding, Bob, when did you become so serious? By the way, do you want to roast corn today? That's amazing, I love your roast corn to death."
The topic changed, and people around them began to discuss how to roast corn to make it delicious.
Lao Wang was so amused that he didn't learn much about agricultural planting choices later, but he learned how to roast delicious corn.
The man listened very seriously, and from time to time, he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. The people around him didn't notice it at first, but they laughed:
"Can you understand what we said? You hear this is useless. You can't roast corn. Look at this guy, he looks the same as Bob, he is a foodie!"
Seeing that the focus of the discussion was shifting to himself, the strong man became crazy and proud. Lao Wang was afraid that it would be two-part, so he quickly dragged it into his arms.
The discussion was very free and continued until noon. At eleven o'clock, Mondo clapped his hands and said, "Okay, guys, next is meal time. Go to my restaurant and see what good things everyone brought!"
"Oh yeah, it's time to eat!" the group shouted.
Luo Bo looked at Wang Bo with some embarrassment and said, "I should have notified you yesterday that it would be better to bring some food to come over, right?"
Wang Bo shrugged and said, "No, you didn't tell me, but we in China have many polite people who don't blame them, so I brought some things."
Hani went to lift the trunk, and there was frozen beef and mutton inside. Because the weather was cold, it didn't need to be put in the refrigerator.
"This is the beef and mutton produced from my own ranch. I hope everyone can enjoy it. I think it tastes pretty good."
"Do you still have a ranch? Is Wensi's ranch farming?" someone asked curiously.
Wang Bo said: "No, I'm in a small town next to Ao City..."
"Sunset Town?"
Wang Bo didn't expect that someone else knew his town here, so he smiled and said, "Yes..."
"Shete, are you the king of China?" Someone immediately shouted, "You are the mayor of Sunset Town? The Sunset Ranch belongs to you, isn't it true?"
Wang Bo spread his hands: "To be honest, this is true."
Invisibly pretending to be a pussy, the people around him suddenly became amazed, and many people were in awe and came up to submit their business cards.
Luo Bo was also in it: "I have been in touch with you for so long, but I didn't expect you to be the king of China!"
Wang Bo couldn't help laughing. It seemed that he still had some energy in the hearts of these farmers and ranchers.
He underestimated the reputation of Sunset Ranch. Sunset Ranch has become a label in major cities, and the livestock products produced are the most popular, all of which are high-end goods.
In other words, Sunset Town is a small place, and Wang Bo doesn’t pay much attention to this information, so he doesn’t know how famous he is.
