At night, Locke finally arrived here. He didn't come here empty-handed, and brought Alex a box of California hearts.

Liu Heming is an emotional person, and Locke even brought gifts here, and his fifty dollars for food is really hard to collect.Not only was it confiscated, but a few side dishes were specially prepared to entertain Locke at night.The main reason is that my daughter really likes to eat this peach. If he hadn't stopped her, the little guy would have eaten two.

"Dexter, I have already contacted everyone. I hope that everyone can contact here in advance before coming here, so as not to have enough accommodation." Locke said with a smile after eating.

"It's a little bit close this time, and there are still many people waiting to come here to take pictures with the bears. I counted a little, and there will be more than 200 people."

"Lock, why are there so many?" Liu Heming asked in surprise.

Not to mention him, even George and the others were a little curious, and Lewis next to him was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Actually, it's nothing. If you weren't closer to the airport, I'm afraid more people would come here to play." Locke shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Especially there are a lot of small animals in your ranch. If there are more animals in the future, and you arrange vehicles to and from the airport, many families will come here with their children to experience it."

"Lock, I'm curious, do you study business management?" Liu Heming asked curiously.

"No, no, my favorite thing is food and filming. It may be because of my family. My father is an executive of an investment company." Locke said with a smile.

"No wonder you were so eloquent when you came here last time. In fact, I really think you can continue your father's career." Liu Heming nodded.

"I'm not interested at all. Even if I can't become a real film director in the future, I think I can also become an advertising director. It's also very good, and I can also taste the local food." Locke shrugged shoulder said.

"I also want to be a director, and I also want to eat delicious food." Alex on the side raised his little hand and said very seriously.

"You still want to be a director, do you know what a director does?" Liu Heming looked at the little guy and asked.

The little guy thought for a while, and then looked at Sasha for help. He really didn't know what he was doing, but he thought the director could eat a lot of delicious food.

Sasha hugged the little guy in her arms and told her what the director does.

"By the way, Dexter, I just learned that there is generally drought in September this year, so this year's winter wheat planting area may be smaller than in previous years. Maybe we can sell it at a good price next year." George said after chatting for a while .

"Now I'm not worried about the situation of wheat. Even if the drought continues next year, we can handle it. I'm just worried that there will be snowstorms and severe cold in the winter you mentioned. Will our wheat be able to withstand it?" Liu Heming asked with a frown.

My own job is still a rancher, and everything else is small money. It is serious to dig money from the ground.

"Actually, some snowstorms are nothing to us. No one is farming. Even if you have a few cows here, you can still prepare enough food for them." George said with a smile.

"The key is to see if the snow is thick enough. If the snow is thick enough, this layer of snow can protect the wheat seedlings below. If the snow comes late and the temperature drops faster, many wheat seedlings may be killed. .”

"However, our wheat varieties are quite resistant to drought, so we don't need to worry too much. The big deal is that the snow is too heavy, so we will stay in the house and not go out."

"There will be such a heavy snow?" Liu Heming asked curiously.

"When I was the biggest, I couldn't even open the door." George nodded with a smile.

"Montana is like this. When you came here this year, the weather was relatively good. The winter has never been so warm in these years. Otherwise, if you want to farm here, you will have to wait until April or May at least.

"It's because there is too little snow in winter and the summer is a bit dry. Without you to help everyone supply irrigation water, everyone will have a hard time this year."

"Hey, our planting is too affected by the weather. Even if we have enough water for irrigation, the effect of precipitation is not as good as that of nature." Liu Heming sighed.

"Dexter, come on, if next year's income is still good, I plan to pool money to buy a harvester. This will also save some expenses, and it will be more convenient for us." George stretched out Said the lazy man.

He was tired enough today, not only helping Liu Heming grow wheat, but also working as a waiter for a long time.Tired is a little tired, but he is very happy.

"I thought that people with ranches would live a leisurely life, but I didn't expect there to be so many external factors." Locke interjected.

"If it weren't for government subsidies, at least one-third of the ranchers in the United States would go bankrupt every year." George said with a smile.

"The only ones who make money are those big ranchers. People like us are basically making a living. If there is no Dexter, the current Xiangshui Town is no longer ours, and it will definitely be bought by the rich. .In recent years, the rich have begun to focus on the land again.”

"That's true. My father's investment company made a similar investment last year. I think they will do the same in the future." Locke nodded.

"It's just that the investment cycle of real estate like this is a bit longer, but the profits are still very rich. I have read some information about Xiangshui Town, and now it can be regarded as the area with the lowest land price in the entire state of Montana. Naturally, it will attract many people. human eyes."

"No matter where the farmers are, it's not easy. Even those big ranchers earn hard money." Liu Heming said with a sigh.

Although those big ranchers can plant a variety of crops, the price of agricultural products is not controlled by them.With more varieties, the risk is reduced, and the profit will also be reduced. On the contrary, there is no more flexible operation of a small ranch like my own.

It's just that if someone has money, even if they lose, it won't matter much, but as long as they make money, it will be a lot of money.

Several people chatted very speculatively, and they chatted until after ten o'clock in the evening before George and the others left.However, George also left a message. Tomorrow morning, he will first go to the mayor to complete some formalities, and then he can operate for a real fee, without having to worry about pricing issues.
