The site of the Dadi Fengshou Farm was chosen in a deserted wasteland, but all the workers on the farm were not panicked at all and did their work in an orderly manner. Although many people did not seem to be very skilled in their work, they worked very hard and seriously. This was the content of their training before leaving for Sijiu City, but they did not have much opportunity to practice.

Zhang Zili found He Yuzhu who was planning how to build a farm camp. "Deputy Director He, all the materials we brought have been unloaded from the truck. What do you think we are going to do next?"

"Then let someone find the tools for ramming the earth. Except for the workers who are setting up the tents, everyone else will start building the rammed earth wall according to the previous plan. By the way, has the bulldozer been unloaded?" He Yuzhu asked.

"Yes, it was unloaded along with the supplies." Zhang Zilii nodded and replied.

"Then let's get started." After saying that, He Yuzhu walked out. He wanted to join everyone in the construction of the rammed earth wall.

So 8 bulldozers were responsible for shoveling soil into wooden molds, and someone immediately came with a bucket to pour water on it. After pouring the water, someone immediately started tamping with a rammer. In this way, with the close cooperation of everyone, the construction of the 1000-meter-long and 1-meter-high wall was successfully completed before the chef in charge of cooking finished lunch.

After lunch, He Yuzhu took advantage of the time when the teams were leading their members to separate their tents to call all the cadres together for a meeting. "After such a long journey, we have finally arrived at the location of our farm. Next, we will paint a picture on the land of our motherland and turn this desolate land under our feet into fertile soil for harvest. After the lunch break, let everyone have a good rest. After 2 pm, the tractor driver will drive the tractor to plow the land, and the others will continue to build the wall."

"After the wall is built, Chief Zhang, go to the material station to bring back the remaining coal from our farm. By the way, ask Station Chief Wang if there is a coal mine nearby. If there is a coal mine, we can get coal from the coal mine and make bricks to build houses. It is not convenient for so many people to live in tents all the time. It is better to build the house as soon as possible. However, while inquiring about the coal mine, the workers have to continue making adobe bricks. If there are no blue bricks, they can use adobe bricks to build the house first. Well, let's stop here for today's meeting, and everyone can go back and rest."

So in the following days, all the employees of the Dadi Fengshou Farm were busy according to the cadres' plan. 200 tractors were galloping on the barren land, and acres of wasteland were reclaimed every day. By the end of March, the entire Dadi Fengshou Farm had reclaimed 3 acres of land along the Santun River.

While reclaiming farmland, the 1.25 tons of urea that Dadi Fengshou Farm applied for from the Ministry of Agriculture and Reclamation were also gradually transported from the inland to Dihua Railway Station. In order to quickly transport so much urea to Dadi Fengshou Farm, the Ministry of Agriculture and Reclamation coordinated with the trucks of the Western Region Construction Corps to help with the transportation. Finally, after 10 days of intense and busy transportation, all 1.25 tons of urea were successfully transported to Dadi Fengshou Farm.

Because urea arrived late, some of the reclaimed wasteland was not spread on the ground before plowing, so He Yuzhu hurriedly arranged for tractor drivers to spread it on the farmland with seed drills. By the time all the land was raked and leveled to be ready for wheat sowing, it was already early April.

After entering April, with the rise in temperature where the farm is located, it is time to start sowing spring wheat. So Dadi Fengshou Farm started the first wheat sowing. 4 tractors with seeders began to sow spring wheat. After the sowing was completed, farm workers immediately laid sprinkler equipment in the fields.

This is why He Yuzhu was reluctant to separate the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant from the Red Star Steel Plant. Only by being tightly tied to the Red Star Steel Plant could they easily obtain the steel pipes used to lay sprinkler equipment on such a large scale of land. Otherwise, it is hard to say how many connections they would have to make to apply for the steel pipes used to lay sprinkler equipment. Although it might be possible to get the application in the end, it would waste a lot of time.

After the sprinkler irrigation equipment was laid, the workers immediately started the diesel engine at the other end. Driven by the diesel engine, the high-lift water pump began to pump water from the water channel in the middle of the field, and then the spray gun connected to the water pump began to spray water droplets evenly. When a piece of land was irrigated, the workers hurriedly opened the pipe valve on the other side. In this way, with the help of 200 diesel engines, the irrigation of all cultivated land was completed the next day after the sowing of 50 mu of wheat was completed.

大地丰收农场购进这多设备不是没有代价的,代价就是农垦部给大地丰收农场协调来的200万元软妹币根本不够用。不说其他的,光1.25万吨尿素和50万亩农田播种所需的1500万斤小麦种总价值就超过了200万元软妹币。

Fortunately, after Minister Wang of the Ministry of Agriculture and Reclamation learned that Dadi Fengshou Farm had reclaimed 50 mu of land in less than half a month, he immediately allocated the materials needed by Dadi Fengshou Farm. He really didn't expect that Dadi Fengshou Farm, under the leadership of He Yuzhu, would reclaim 50 mu of farmland in the first year. He made a preliminary calculation and found that if one mu of land could produce 500 kilograms of wheat, 50 mu of land would produce 2.5 million kilograms of wheat.

Minister Wang became more and more excited when he thought of this. If the Great Earth Harvest Farm continued to develop at this momentum, he believed that within a few years, the problem of insufficient grain production in the Western Region would be solved. By then, the Western Region would no longer need to rely on imported grain, and could even support other provinces. All he had to do next was to wait patiently and see the grain production of the Great Earth Harvest Farm this season.

Minister Wang decided that as long as the total wheat output of Dadi Fengshou Farm can reach 2.5 million jin this year, he will increase his support for He Yuzhu and fully support He Yuzhu's plan to reclaim 1000 million acres of farmland.
