Chapter 60 Seeing Hope
After more than half a month of worrying, I was worried every day that I would be blocked by those speeding gangsters when I woke up.During this period of time, George didn't say that he would come here every day, and occasionally he would bring some dishes for him to cook.Even if he was worried about what might happen to him, Liu Heming was very grateful in his heart.

After getting up early today, I made a fool of myself, put the brats in the car, and drove to George's side.Today is the day when the wheat in his pasture is harvested. Even if there is mechanical harvesting, there are some places where people are needed to help.

He thought he came early, but John and Lewis came earlier, and even Anderson came to help George.

"Dexter, hurry up and let us see the cubs, we haven't seen them for many days." Seeing Liu Heming get off the car, Lewis shouted loudly.

"You came here so early, George, just tell me what you need to do later." Liu Heming said with a smile after taking the brats down.

George gave him a hug, "Today's work is actually very simple. The harvesters rented this time are very efficient. One can harvest 8000 bushels a day. Although I only rented two machines, I can harvest these wheat fields in one day. complete."

"By the way, let me introduce you. This is Ms. Jones from the Wheat Association. You will also join the Wheat Association in the future. They will help us grade and sell our wheat, which will make us a lot easier."

"Hi Jones." Hearing what George said, Liu Heming hurriedly greeted him.

"Hello, do you have any wheat harvest this year?" Jones looked at Liu Heming curiously and asked.

"Uh... not yet, my wheat hasn't been planted yet. I missed the sowing period after coming here, but I still need your help next year." Liu Heming said with some embarrassment.

"It's okay, this is my business card, please keep it, and you can contact me if you have any questions." Jones said with a smile.

"Haha, let's see how my harvest is this year." After George finished speaking, he sent a signal to the person in charge of driving the harvester.

The roar of the engine sounded, and Liu Heming finally saw what efficiency is.

This big harvester just goes "boom, boom, boom", harvesting, threshing, drying, and loading, all done.He also understood why so little fertilizer was used for farming on George's side, and all the straw was crushed and buried in the ground.This is also a good fertilizer when replanting in winter.

To his surprise, just after harvesting for a while, the harvester stopped, and the transport truck behind it drove up to everyone.

"Why aren't you harvesting?" Liu Heming asked, poking John lightly.

"Now the yield is about one acre, and Jones will grade it based on the wheat harvested now." John said with a smile.

Liu Heming nodded, thinking that the rating would only be done after the entire harvest, but he didn't expect his side to be quite efficient.

A large wooden basin was brought over, and the wheat on the cart was filled into the basin, and then weighed.There are more than 38 pots of wheat in the car, and the net weight of a pot of wheat is about 58 pounds.

When weighing, Liu Heming also knew that this wooden basin is the bushel measuring tool, and I am used to using this to measure the output of wheat here.

"George, is the yield high or low? How much money can you make from your wheat this year?" Liu Heming asked curiously.

"The current yield is considered a normal yield, but it is a high yield in our Xiangshui Town. It is the highest yield in recent years. Otherwise, I would only be 35 bushels per acre here." George gave Liu Heming a Hugging, strangling him a little out of breath.

"Without your lake water, I would have been able to produce 25 bushels this year, thank God. Dexter, you are really the lucky star of our Xiangshui Town."

Embarrassed by George's praise, Liu Heming rubbed his nose, but he was more concerned about the income from the wheat. After all, he is now a hunchback -- money is tight, and his only hope is this year's winter wheat sowing.

"Haha, Dexter, the price measurement of wheat needs Jones' help. Now she is grading the wheat, and I think I will have a good harvest this year." Hearing Liu Heming's question, George said with a smile.

This evaluation is really a meticulous job. Jones worked hard here for more than half an hour before giving the result.

"George, according to my preliminary estimates, your wheat can be sold for $273 a ton this year. Congratulations, it's a good harvest year." Jones said to George after recording it in his notebook.

"Haha, did you hear that, our Xiangshui Town can finally make money by planting wheat again." George roared excitedly, then hugged Liu Heming in his arms and started circling around.

It made Liu Heming a little dizzy, and he was a little surprised that George, a little friend, was so old and still so strong.

In fact, he still doesn't understand. At this price, George doesn't seem to be earning a lot per acre.And the yield doesn't seem to be very high. Although the family didn't grow wheat before, it is estimated that the yield of one mu of wheat should be about [-] catties.Converted into acres, the output should be about two tons.

After thinking about it for a while, he finally figured out the obstacle.The main reason is the problem of land area.

There are few people in the United States, and they are all mechanized planting, which belongs to the rough type.There are many people in the country and little land, and the common people all count on those lands, which are intensively cultivated, so there is a difference in output.And if it is converted to per capita output, the per capita output in the United States is still high.

George was very happy here, and the two combine harvesters started again.Liu Heming was also very happy in his heart, not only because it was a small bumper harvest for George, but he also tasted the joy of harvest.More importantly, he saw hope, the hope he would gain in the coming year.

I am a person covered by the system. In the coming year, my wheat will be much better than George's in terms of yield and quality, and the corresponding price will be much higher.At the very least, I haven't made any fuss this year to prepare for farming in vain, and I will always make money in the coming year.

At the same time, he also felt a little bit of emotion, whether it is the farmers in the United States or China, they can be regarded as the ranks of suffering.In order to obtain the joy of harvest, the whole process requires countless hard work.

I really want to let my ranch make money for me quickly, so that I can pay back Sasha's debt.But farmers are digging food from the soil, no matter what you plant, it has a growth period.
