Chapter 573: Investigation Results
Catherine jumped onto the helicopter agilely, looked down at him, and said with a provocative look: "Since you're not afraid, come up."
Fu Song's face turned dark. If he had known he would take a helicopter, I would have stayed in New York and let her come alone.
When he was in a dilemma, suddenly, he reached in front of him with one hand. Fu Song looked up and saw Catherine looking at him with a smile, "Are you really afraid?"
Damn, I took the initiative to do it, gritted my teeth, grabbed Catherine's hand and climbed up.
"Here's just like a man!" Catherine handed him a pair of headsets.
Fu Song gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you!"
Catherine smiled pursed her lips, twisted her head to the other side, and her shoulders shook violently.
Fu Song: “….”
Soon, the helicopter slowly soared into the air. After the initial tension, Fu Song finally realized that looking down at the autumn land from the helicopter was indeed a pleasure.
Hess had already prepared information and maps of nearby farms for them. At this time, Catherine pointed to a pasture diagonally below and said to Fu Song: "It should be Daniel Ranch, with an area of 1,200 acres, and is currently in the hands of the Western Bank."
Fu Song looked in the direction of her finger and saw that the green pasture was dotted with bushes of low shrubs, yellow wild flowers all over the mountains, and the cows eating grass were looking up at the sky, obviously curious about the uninvited guest of the helicopter.
"Looks good." The urgent thing is the natural beauty, which makes people feel refreshed. Fu Song quickly picked up the pencil and circled Daniel Ranch on the map.
Catherine smiled and said, "In Texas, the ranch is the 'Texas' place. After the work is done, I will take you to ride a horse and eat barbecue."
"I can't ride a horse, but eating barbecue is still good." Fu Song was in a good mood and didn't care if she would be laughed at.
Catherine looked at him with contempt and said, "A farmer who can't ride a horse is not a qualified farmer. Well, for the sake of my friend, I will teach you in two days."
Fu Song said perfunctorily: "I will talk about this later, and I will talk about it later."
The helicopter continued to fly southwest, and looked at a few more pieces of land on the road, including pastures and farmland. Fu Song thought each piece was good, so he circled it on the map every once in a while.
After passing the Canyon Lake, San Antonio was not far ahead. The helicopter sided slightly and flew towards the west.
Fu Song asked Catherine: "Where are we going next?"
Katherine's slender fingers point on the map: "Bandra Town, Central Texas is known as the "Cowboy Capital", and Bandra is the most 'Cowboy' place."
Fu Song said in surprise: "You are quite familiar with this place."
Katherine Zhanyan smiled: "I was originally from Texas. I lived in Dallas for more than ten years and moved to New York when I was in high school."
“No wonder….”
"No wonder what?"
No wonder you are violent, and only places like Texas can raise women like you.
"Nothing." Fu Song coughed gently, afraid that she would ask, so he quickly changed the subject and asked, "We will have dinner in Bandra at noon?"
"The answer is correct, after dinner, we will take a break, and in the afternoon we will go to Prairie County and fly back to Austin in the evening."
Catherine arranged her daily itinerary and spent a week like this. The two of them moved all over the central and northeastern Texas. As for western Texas, it was either a plateau or a drought that was dying, and there was no value for investigation.
On the night of the investigation, Hess held a bonfire dinner on a farm near Austin, live music, grape wine, delicious barbecue, and even a few cowgirls who were rarely dressed...
Catherine completely let go tonight, and she was so excited that she danced and sang, just like a lunatic.
But Fu Song couldn't get any interest, and sat alone on the grass, staring at the orange-red bonfire in a daze.
Seeing that Fu Song was not in high spirits, Catherine came over and asked, "Glenn, you don't look happy at all, what's wrong?"
The temperature was a little low at night. Fu Song wrapped his coat tightly, shook his head and smiled, "It's nothing, you keep going, don't say, you're dancing very much... well, full of wild beauty."
Catherine sat down beside him, supported her hands, leaned back, turned her head to look at him, and curled her lips, "Glenn, are you not satisfied with the results of the investigation?"
Fu Song nodded calmly: "It's a little different from my expectations. What I want most is farmland, but you also see that half of the farms are ranches. What do you think I want so many ranches for?"
Catherine immediately sat upright, put her forehead on her hands, and said speechlessly: "Oh my God, Glenn, I really can't figure it out, why do you want so much farmland?"
Fu Song said for granted: "Of course it is to produce grain."
"What?" Catherine asked with a smile.
“Then there is deep processing.”
"What's the matter?" Catherine smiled even more weirdly.
Fu Song finally felt something was wrong, but he still said stubbornly: "Then it will be made into food and sales."
Katherine couldn't help laughing, "Glenn, I always thought you were smart, but now it seems, huh, you're stupid sometimes."
Fu Song was not angry and asked in confusion: "Is there any problem with what I just said?"
"The problem is big." Catherine shook her hair aside and raised her legs without any image. "Texas agriculture is originally based on animal husbandry, supplemented by grain cultivation. The crops with the largest grain planting area are two types of drought-resistant crops, cotton and sorghum. Texas agriculture has three treasures, namely beef, cotton and sorghum."
Fu Song kept nodding. Through these days of investigation, he knew that what Catherine was talking about was the facts.
"For a long time, these three have cooperated well and promoted each other. Sorghum is grown to adapt to local drought conditions. The best way to use sorghum is to feed cattle, especially beef cattle. Use whole sorghum for hay or silage, and the cattle can be used all of them and converted into meat and milk. Short-season drought-resistant cotton varieties are also suitable for local natural conditions. Cotton seed powder is rich in protein and is an excellent supplementary feed for beef cattle. Moreover, cotton is suitable for rotation with sorghum, which can reduce pests and diseases. The cow's manure is a high-quality organic fertilizer for cotton and sorghum, which can improve soil fertility."
Fu Song was stunned when he heard this, as if he had known her for the first time, "How did you know so clearly?"
Catherine blinked at him and said, "I never fight unprepared battles. After I decided to work with you, I began to collect various information on this."
Fu Song sighed: "I think you have been engaged in agriculture before. I understand what you mean. Texas' natural endowment is more suitable for animal husbandry and not for grain cultivation. No matter how much farmland you buy, you can only grow cotton, sorghum or corn."
