994. Farm investment (5/5)
Wang Bo chose the farm area, which was far away from the ranch, so he chose to build a farm south of Highway 8.
Building a farm does not mean that choosing a piece of land is over and putting it into the heart of the farm. This work has just begun.
The first thing is to define the farm area. This is relatively simple. Just mark it in square order according to the control range of the heart of the ranch.
When Hani learned that he was going to develop agriculture and build a farm, he was puzzled: "Boss, why do you think about it? Why do you suddenly want to build a farm? Isn't it better to build a ranch?"
The ranch in Sunset Town is now famous and has many large orders to access. It seems that expanding the ranch is the most serious thing.
Wang Bo knows this, so he hopes to win more of the ranch heart now.
But this luck is so fucked. He didn't want a ranch before, and the heart of the ranch came one after another. Now he wants to build a ranch, but he can't see the heart of the ranch.
However, it is also good to build a farm. After all, agriculture is the basis and people are responsible for food. It is also important to achieve self-sufficiency in the Sunset Town.
"It's winter soon, boss, are you sure you're here to start a farm now?" Kidd asked.
Hani shook his head: "You don't understand boy. If the boss wants to build a farm, then it will have to start building this season. Because building a farm from a wasteland is not something that can be completed in a few days."
"Building a farm requires first removing weeds. In winter, we have to wither. With a fire ignited and a machine to remove grass roots, the workload is much smaller than in spring and summer."
Yes, Wang Bo has been getting the Heart of the Farm for two months, but he has not used it. He just waited for the season when the weeds are withered to clean up the farm.
Hani discussed this with him and said, "If you want to build a farm, I mean a determined investment, that's great. There are so many plains in Sunset Town, it's always a good thing to use."
As we all know, New Zealand has a small land of scattered people and its land resources seem to be extremely abundant.
But that's for the North Island, which has a low terrain, discontinuous mountains, many plains and fertile soil.
This is not the case in the South Island. It has many mountains and high mountains, with mountainous areas accounting for 70% of the island, hills accounting for 21% of the land, and only plains, with only a few 9%.
Sunset Town has an area of 1,000 square kilometers, but in fact, the southern Alps to the north must have 200 square kilometers. In addition, the remaining land is mostly hills.
Fortunately, hills can be used as pastures, because Wang Bo uses free-range methods, hills are more suitable for living for cattle and sheep.
After picking for a day, Wang Bo bought a large number of fences and ropes at the grocery store, and took Astulu and others to measure the land.
The area of forty square kilometers is nothing in numbers. In fact, this land area is too large. Wang Bo drove around and took an hour!
Of course, this is related to the rough and uneven terrain in the wasteland, which leads to a very slow vehicle speed.
"This farm is so large that it can't be transferred in an hour." Kidd, who came to help, exclaimed.
Asulu said: "You mean, we should change the car, right?"
The farm area was carefully selected by Wang Bo. The plain area in Luo Sun Town is two or three hundred square kilometers, but the vegetation is chaotic, so it is very difficult to develop some places.
Since New Zealand has been separated from various continents for a long time since the Mesozoic era, New Zealand's plant varieties are relatively unique, with relatively few species, but very large in number.
This is related to the climate of New Zealand. The South Island has a long sunshine and abundant precipitation, which creates good natural conditions for the growth of various plants. The plains are overgrown with weeds and numerous ferns, as well as kauri, conifer, laurel, New Zealand hemp and other trees.
It is relatively easy to clean weeds, but it is difficult to clean trees.
Wang Bo is not familiar with agriculture enough, so Hani suggested that he find a professional team to help him develop and build this farm. Although it costs a little money, it can help him avoid many detours.
Elizabeth said: "I think I can help with this. When I was in school, I took professional courses from the Agricultural College and met some tutors and the graduate team they led would take on such a job."
The Otag University brand is loud enough, and Wang Bo asked her to help contact her.
Elizabeth was decisive in his work and soon came to an end. A professor of agronomical and environmental science named Brandt Hamilton accepted their invitation.
Professor Brandt is quite famous in New Zealand and is a layout design expert hired by many large farms in the South Island. He is very good at matching species according to the environmental style, which can give Wang Bo good advice in this regard.
From the time of acceptance of the employment to the final completion of the farm, Brandt charged 400,000 yuan, and Wang Bo felt that the money was not too much.
At the end of the middle of the month, Brandt arrived, and he immediately let Wang Bo know that the money was not spent in vain.
Brandt brought two graduate students to Sunset Town, and they brought an analysis report on the soil, water and climate resources of Sunset Town to guide the construction of the farm.
The soil in New Zealand can be roughly divided into three main types: sectarian soil, hidden soil and pan-domain soil. The soil type in the South Island is typical sectarian soil, but the soil quality of Sunset Town is an exception.
"We collected soil in Sunset Town many years ago for analysis and found that the soil here was affected by pumice stones and volcanic ash. This is strange because there are no volcanoes around here, right?"
Professor Brandt is a middle-aged man who looks like a farmer rather than a professor. When he came to meet Wang Bo, he was wearing rain boots, which was the standard for the farmer.
Wang Bo said: "There should be no volcanoes around here."
Professor Brandt shook his head: "I thought so before, until I investigated the situation in Sunset Town, and learned that you have recently discovered the hot springs."
The hot springs in Sunset Town are quite famous, especially Wang Bo’s choice to invest heavily in and build, which has attracted a lot of attention.
"There are hot springs, which prove that there is geothermal energy. During this period, I investigated the geological conditions of the South Island area. Finally, I think there was a large volcano here, and the volcanic eruption formed Lake Haweiya."
This news made Lao Wang a little anxious: "Are you sure there are volcanoes in our town?"
Professor Brandt smiled and said, "Maybe you misunderstood what I mean. This volcano exists in history. I am analyzing the soil conditions of Sunset Town from hundreds of thousands or even millions of years ago."
Lao Wang suddenly realized and signaled him to continue.
After analyzing the soil quality, he introduced water resources.
Sunset Town is still very abundant in water resources. The strong warm and humid westerly winds have brought a lot of rain to the whole of New Zealand. However, the westerly winds along the coast have a great impact on the east, so the overall rainfall distribution in New Zealand is more in the west than west and less in the east.
The town is located in the central area, with average rainfall, and the surrounding area has an annual rainfall of about 2,000 mm, which is enough for the farm to need.
