Like corn stalks, after the rice is harvested, the rice seedlings will be crushed into powder and sprinkled into the rice fields. They will be turned up and into the soil along with the fertilizer thrown by the rotary tiller.
After continuous fermentation and decomposition, this becomes a natural fertilizer, which can increase the organic matter of the soil, thus improving the fertility of the soil.
Also due to time constraints, Wu Hao and the others couldn't stay here long, so they took a quick look at it and then rushed to the next area.
This time they came to a pasture planting area, and what came into their view were endless corn grass and bamboo grass.
Both types of grass are excellent fodder. Especially the emperor bamboo grass, it is known as the "Emperor of Grasses", so it has such a noble name because it has a tall and mighty figure and an unparalleled high yield among many forage grasses.
More than a dozen large forage harvesters and balers are galloping in the vast ocean of forage. They are like devouring giant beasts, constantly devouring the tall forage in front of them.
After the forage is swallowed, it will be compressed and packed into square bales, and then a completed bale square will be released at each distance.
The bale wrapping machine at the back will automatically identify the position of each bale, then find it, pick it up and wrap it.
After the film is wrapped, it will be transported to the flatbed truck behind and stacked neatly, and then transported and stored.
The entire process is run autonomously by an intelligent system without human intervention. In this way, the cost of planting and producing forage can be greatly reduced, the efficiency can be improved, and the production capacity of forage can be increased.
Immediately afterwards, everyone came to a sugar beet planting area to see the automated harvesting of sugar beets.
Looking at the sugar beets everywhere and the unmanned sugar beet harvester at work not far away. As well as the round red beet heads that were pulled out of the sand and whose stems were removed, everyone's faces couldn't help but reveal the joy of the harvest.
Du Xiuming casually pulled up a beet plant, patted the sand, and introduced it to everyone.
"Although the beets grown in the sandy land of our farm are not as big as the beets grown in the black soil of the Northeast. However, because there is sufficient sunshine and a large temperature difference between day and night, it is conducive to the accumulation of sugar, so the sugar yield rate of the beets here is higher. high.
Furthermore, compared to the soil in the northeast, the soil here is sandy, so harvesting and cleaning is easier. The beets in the Northeast are all muddy when you pull them out.
A large amount of water is needed for cleaning. As for the beets here, there is very little soil when they are pulled out. If you pat them, there will be no sand or soil.
After being transported back to the factory, it only needs simple cleaning, which saves a lot of steps and thus a lot of costs. "
Having said this, Du Xiuming took a fruit knife from his assistant and quickly cut the red beet knot a few times to remove the skin. Then he rinsed it with clean water and then cut it into small pieces and handed them to everyone.
"Everyone has a try!"
After Wu Hao and the others heard this, they immediately looked at the bright red beet sticks. Curiously, they picked up a piece with their fingers, rubbed it carefully, and then put it in their mouths.
"It's very crisp and refreshing, like a radish, but it doesn't seem that sweet." Xu Xiaoya took a bite and then said to everyone.
Wu Hao nodded and said, "It tastes good."
In Eastern Europe, locals like to use beets to make beet soup, which is the favorite of people in Eastern Europe, which is what we often call red cabbage soup. Zhong Xiaoling explained to everyone.
"However, in most areas outside Eastern Europe, people are still accustomed to using it to make sugar, and it is also the main raw material for sugar production in the north."
Watching a truck full of beets leaving the field, Wu Hao immediately smiled and said, "Let's go to the processing factory."
After hearing his words, Du Xiuming couldn't help but persuade: "Mr. Wu, not far ahead is our 100,000-acre sunflower planting area. Do you and Mr. Xu want to go there first and then we go to the processing plant?" .”
After hearing Du Xiuming's suggestion, Wu Hao and Xu Xiaoya looked at each other, then nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the sunflower planting area."
Sure enough, not long after walking, everyone finally saw the endless sunflowers. But now everyone sees sunflower cakes whose flowers have faded.
These huge sunflower cakes are covered with densely packed black sunflower seeds, and the plump and plump sunflower seeds have bent the sunflower cakes.
“We cannot wait until sunflowers are fully mature, otherwise the seeds will fall off, causing unnecessary waste and loss.
Therefore, we generally choose to harvest the sunflower seeds when they are plump and just ripe, and have not yet dried out.
Automated machinery will harvest these sunflower cakes, load them into trucks, and then send them to the drying field in the field for sun drying. After the sunflower seeds are soaked in moisture and dried, they will then be threshed in a special machine.
These threshed sunflower seeds will be dried again, and after they are completely dry, they will be bagged and sent to the warehouse for storage. Or it will be directly dried and pressed, and then the pressed sunflower oil will be transported to the mainland for sale. "
Just when Du Xiuming was introducing it to everyone, he saw several huge machines working in the sunflower field.
Huge sunflower cakes are loaded into trucks one by one and then transported to the huge drying yard at the farm.
Zhong Xiaoling on the other side continued to introduce: "About 80% of these sunflower seeds are used to squeeze sunflower oil.
Our sunflower seed oil is a purely natural, pollution-free, non-GMO food. Coupled with the brand operation of our Sarawak Farm, our sunflower seed cooking oil is currently considered a high-end non-staple food product in the market.
As for the remaining 20%, we will directly correspond to a nut processing factory here. They purchase it, fry it, bag it, and sell it all over the country.
However, due to the strong market demand for sunflower seed oil, we have been reducing or even stopping the supply of sunflower seeds to nut processing plants.
This year, almost all the sunflower seeds have been used for crushing. Despite this, the market demand is still very strong.
Therefore, we plan to expand the scale of sunflower planting next year from the current 100,000 acres to 150,000 acres, which is 10,000 hectares. "
Hearing Zhong Xiaoling's words, Xu Xiaoya nodded with a satisfied look: "No problem, let alone 10,000 hectares, even if it is several times larger, we can still eat it.
The sunflower seed oil produced on our farm is very pure. Even though the price is much higher than similar products on the market, sales are still booming.
Therefore, I agree with both hands to expand the scale of planting. "
After speaking, Xu Xiaoya looked at Wu Hao.
