Leisure life: I have 10,000 mu of grassland

The ripening of Jiang Feng's corn was originally a trivial matter.

But a professor from the city's agricultural research institute insisted on coming to see what was going on.

This professor is called Ruan Yuanwu, and he has a good relationship with the old professor at the Kyoto Agricultural Research Institute.

They are very interested in the crops grown by Jiang Feng.

Such as pumpkin, white radish and so on.

But strangely enough, experts used the rhizomes of these crops to replant them. Although the finished products were good, they were not as good as those grown by Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng also asked the system about this.

The seeds for the system lottery will work best if they are only planted for the first time.

Afterwards, either new seeds will not be produced, such as seedless watermelon; or the seeds produced will be high-quality crop seeds on the market and will not achieve the effect of the first planting.

Ruan Yuanwu took two researchers to the corn field, picked a corn, and examined it carefully.

Jiang Feng was also broadcasting live on the side.

Netizens found this scene very strange.

Why is there still an old man tinkering over there?

Jiang Feng explained:

"He's a professor from the Agricultural Research Institute. Come here to take a look at my corn varieties."

“When I grow corn, I always use my own farmyard manure, which is very good.”

"The varieties of corn are also good, so the quality of the corn grown is relatively high."

At this moment, Ruan Yuanwu observed the corn carefully. The grains were full and the color was uniform. Even the corn silk was clean brown.

Just holding it in your hand, you can feel its heavy weight.

The effect of this corn is simply perfect.

"Professor Ruan, the corn here is really different. I can't even tell what kind it is."

"Like Lianchuang 839, but also like Jingke 968"

One researcher looked at the corn and marveled.

There are many varieties of corn in the country, all kinds of varieties.

Counting at least hundreds of species.

Farmers in various places choose different corn brands, and they also look at rankings every year to choose suitable corn varieties.

Competition among corn varieties is still fierce.

Therefore, the Agricultural Research Institute is very interested in corn varieties. If there are corns with excellent characteristics, they want to investigate and understand them.

Ruan Yuanwu held a piece of corn and asked Jiang Feng with a smile:

"Master Jiang, what kind of corn is yours? It looks like yellow sweet corn. The cob shape is also large, arranged neatly, and the capping ability is good."

Hearing this, Jiang Feng replied:

"I got it from a friend, from a research institute, I don't know."

"It was said to be the best model, so I planted it."

"There are two types. One is this, yellow sweet corn. There are ten acres of land over there growing white waxy corn."

Hearing this, Ruan Yuanwu was quite surprised.

"It comes from the Agricultural Research Institute, but it's rare to grow it like this."

"The corn is growing very well and is plump."

“I’m afraid the yield per mu will not be low.”

“It’s amazing to be able to grow corn like this on the grassland.”

Ruan Yuanwu said with sincere emotion.

"The farmyard fertilizer I use is better. I also pay attention to the health of the corn seedlings and add some nutrients."

“I have always liked growing things, including fruits and vegetables.”

Jiang Feng said politely.

Jiang Feng's cultivation level is truly impeccable, and he has real abilities.

Someone was paying attention to Guo Jiangfeng’s videos of growing vegetables and fruits before. They were all very professional and expert.

Moreover, the crops grown are also exhibited at the Agricultural Research Institute.

"Master Jiang, do you want to consider participating in this year's agricultural exhibition? There should be a corn variety test ranking, and at least dozens of corn varieties will be selected to participate."

"It shouldn't be a big problem for your corn to enter the top five."

Ruan Yuanwu suggested.

Hearing Ruan Yuanwu's words, Jiang Feng smiled and shook his head:

“I grow corn that I eat myself and then feed to the animals.”

“The corn lasts longer and the grassland is dry.”

"At least we can eat until winter."

Hearing this, Ruan Yuanwu said nothing more, just took two corns and went back to study the starch content of the corn kernels.

Then, Jiang Feng figured out how to harvest corn.

Netizens gave him a bad move.

[Owner, hold an event at your tourist ranch. It costs 10 yuan per person to experience picking corn at the farm. All the corn picked cannot be taken out of the farm! 】

[Paying money to do work for others? This is worse than capitalists! 】

[Hahaha, you can have it, the important thing is to experience it! 】

[Isn’t it just 10 yuan? I go! 】

Seeing everyone's comments, Jiang Feng couldn't help but laugh.

That is to say.

Tourists are not stupid.

The next day, Jiang Feng called the ranch employees to come here to pick corn.

By the way, I also called the people at the tourist ranch.

A few dozen acres of cornfield is not too much. A group of people worked together, and soon the corn was picked, put on the cart, and pulled back one cart at a time.

Jiang Feng was also among them.

I came out today and brought the dogs out too.

These dogs were having a great time shuttling back and forth between the corn stalks.

For them, this is equivalent to following their master on an adventure.

The whole process of picking corn is also broadcast live.

Although it is ordinary farm work, it is quite relaxing when viewed from a bird's eye view.

Many people think of the time they spent picking corn in their hometown as children.

Pick the corn and put it on the tricycle.

Finally, the tricycle was filled with a cart full of corn, which was loaded very high.

The man sat on the corn pile and went back with him to prepare to unload the corn and lay it out.

Preserving corn is relatively simple. Just find a ventilated place and put it in an iron basket. The iron basket must be off the ground.

You can also rub all the corn kernels out and put them in the granary.

However, it is easy to cause rats if placed in the granary, so it is better to store them whole first.

At this moment, Jiang Feng was wearing work clothes, sleeves and a hat.

He told netizens:

“The corn in July and August is the best, delicious and nutritious.”

"Regardless of how much corn there is now, if it is eaten by sika deer and black bears when it is eaten by people, it will only last for a month or two."

"I will see the situation at that time. If I don't have enough to eat, I will have to feed the animals less."

After hearing Jiang Feng's words, netizens made up their mind again.

[Owner, please send us a few! 】

【This corn looks so good! 】

【How did this grow? 】

[I am a local from Ximeng. This is the first time I have seen corn grown like this. 】

Seeing that some people wanted to eat corn, Jiang Feng smiled and said:

"Good corn only costs a few yuan per head. You should buy it online. It's too much trouble."

At this time, people from the Maodeng Management Area and the Agricultural Research Institute came over.

The person from the Agricultural Research Institute was Ruan Yuanwu, a professor who studies corn.

They had nothing special to do, they were just weighing the corn and calculating the yield per mu.

Generally, large farms will count the number of crops produced per mu every year.

For example, how many kilograms of corn can be produced per mu, how many kilograms of wheat can be produced per mu, etc.

As a record of a good harvest.

However, Jiangfeng is a pasture, and it is the first time that he has calculated the yield per mu.

"How about Professor Ruan, has the yield per mu been calculated?"

Jiang Feng is also curious about his corn yield.

He was holding a big corn in his hand. The corn was completely wrapped in green corn husks and was particularly tight. The corn is also very big and heavy.

This corn looks like good corn at first glance.

Ruan Yuanwu's face was full of admiration.

"It has been measured. The yield per mu of yellow sweet corn is 1.5 tons. The highest record here is 1.48 tons, which is a record."

"This corn is really big and plump. It's normal for it to break the record."

Ruan Yuanwu exclaimed.

Hearing this, Jiang Feng was also a little surprised.

"Record-breaking?"

"I didn't expect that."

Ruan Yuanwu said again:

"The yield of white waxy corn per mu is 1.3 tons, which is also very good."

"Your cultivation skills are really amazing."

Jiang Feng smiled and didn't say much.

Netizens heard the conversation between the two.

These people were talking next to the corn stalks, with relaxed expressions, and a busyness and leisureliness unique to agricultural people.

[The farm owner’s corn yield per acre broke the record? 】

[You can tell by looking at the corn in his hand. It's usually not that big. 】

[Ordinary corn is smaller than a mineral water bottle, but the one he grew is larger and fuller, so the yield per mu will definitely be high! 】

[The owner of the venue really does great things quietly! 】

There is nothing to say about breaking the record, because corns come in various shapes, and if you focus on the yield per acre, you can produce some big corns.

But taste, texture, and nutrition have to be discussed separately.

Ruan Yuanwu said again:

"The next step is to check the taste. Generally, larger corns will have a slightly worse texture."

"I wonder what this corn is like."

"If it tastes good, I think we can study and improve it. After all, our country's food production is still not enough, and it would be better to have more food reserve resources."

Ruan Yuanwu is considering the general direction of corn development. After all, he is a professor at a public agricultural research institute, so he stands at a higher level.

There are also many private grain research institutes and vegetable research institutes in the private sector, which sell vegetable seeds and grain seeds. They consider economic benefits more.

"This is easy to handle. Just take it back and cook a few sticks later."

Jiang Feng responded from the side.

The people from the Maodeng Ranch stood aside and peeled open a piece of corn. They saw that the corn kernels were large and full, and they said curiously:

"The corn kernels are so big, can they be digested by animals?"

Jiang Feng and Ruan Yuanwu were both a little stunned when they heard what he said.

Obviously, this person does not understand the techniques of corn feeding.

Ruan Yuanwu explained: "When feeding corn to animals, you can't just rub it down and feed it. It must be processed or roughly crushed."

"So, no matter how big the corn kernels are, it doesn't matter."

"Feed chickens and sheep, they are all crushed."

After hearing this, the people at Maodeng Ranch came to understand.

The next step is to taste the corn.

Jiang Feng was not polite and asked Hadan to go back and cook the more than 30 corns he picked yesterday and bring them to everyone to eat.

Everyone can also take this opportunity to have a good rest.

Both types of corn were cooked a bit.

Then, everyone continued to pick corn inside.

Ruan Yuanwu added: "This straw can also be used as silage fodder. Most of the people who grow corn on the grassland are to keep this straw for the winter, but few people eat corn."

Jiang Feng nodded: "It must be dealt with. I plan to sell it directly to the forage company. There is no shortage of forage in my pasture. Straw is definitely not as good as forage, and I won't use it."

"Planning to sell."

The two chatted.

Food is the basis of human life, and food storage is very important for any country.

Corn is a basic food.

Not only can it be steamed and cooked, but it can also be grilled, popped, and made into sweets. It can also be ground into cornmeal to make various pastas.

Corn is also particularly easy to store.

All over the country, people grow corn everywhere.

Corn is indeed a good thing for farmers.
