Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 73 Food Crop Planting
The next morning, after Wang Lu simply washed up and stretched, he started a busy day.

After that John Deere 9620rx consumed tons of diesel, all the land needed to grow sisal on the farm was finally cleared.

The fuel tank of this mechanical behemoth can hold more than 500 liters of diesel at a time. Wang Lu's heart bleeds every time he refuels. The black manager of the gas station in Baria Town almost feeds Wang Lu. !
The ranch receives a batch of sisal seedlings every day. According to Kinook, it will take at most a week to get all the sisal seedlings needed by the ranch.

As for the planting of these sisal seedlings, after so many days of exploration, the black laborers recruited by Wang Lu finally no longer need to keep an eye on them every day.

Wang Lu promoted all the black people who had left a good image for him to roles similar to domestic contractors, and each of them managed close to a hundred people.

This group of black people who were promoted to foremen not only worked diligently, but also mastered the most basic sisal planting techniques, and could even teach some newly recruited laborers to the ranch. In addition, Professor Qin’s team was on hand to guide them. This saved Wang Lu a lot of trouble.

The wages of these black laborers are no longer paid by Parker one by one, but are handed over to these small bosses. Wang Lu gives them great freedom, even some lazy guys, these small bosses can use this deduction from their wages.

Wang Lu will not take back the deducted wages, but will let the promoted black foremen handle it, which also greatly enhances the enthusiasm of those black foremen.

The efficiency has improved a lot compared to before, and the number of black people cheating and cheating has also been greatly reduced.

As for whether there will be situations where foremen oppress the black labor force below them, in Parker’s words:
"Boss, if you focus on these little things every day, I'm afraid you won't be able to spare any other energy to manage such a huge ranch. Believe me, as long as those damn black people don't cause big trouble, there will be no problem at all! "

After hearing this, Wang Lu was convinced, and then smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly:
"I really have the potential to be a capitalist..."

But it has to be said that the current important labor force of Parker's ranch has finally been liberated.

So Wang Lu also planned to lead Parker to plant the rice, which was related to when he could eat the fragrant white rice produced by his own ranch.

Those rice seeds have been soaked in place and can be sown directly.

Even though the paddy fields cultivated on both sides of the upper reaches of the Dome River are only a few dozen acres, it would take too much time and money to complete the planting solely relying on the manpower of Wang Lu and Parker.

So Wang Lu decisively purchased a seeder, which happened to be towed by the Lovol 704, and he could complete the sowing in two days at most.

While purchasing the seeder, Wang Lu also purchased two sets of water pumping equipment, which are a water pump, a motor and a water pipe. They are cheap and very easy to use.

Rice seeds are directly sown. In the early stage, the rice fields do not need to be directly irrigated at all. They only need to keep the soil moist so that the seeds can obtain enough water to draw out the seedlings.

First use a simple water pump to pump up part of the Dome River water to soak the soil.

Otherwise, directly opening the channel between the rice fields and the Dome River will not be able to control the water quantity, and there may be soil waterlogging.

The brother and sister Halafa also followed behind Wang Lu. The two of them worked together to lift a water pump and pull the socket taken from the villa construction site. Fortunately, the construction team was there, otherwise Wang Lu would have wanted to find such a long one locally. I'm afraid it's a little difficult to install the line patch panel.

Fortunately, after the villa is built, the power system of the entire living area will also be upgraded. As long as there is no problem with the main circuit in Baria Town, electricity will be very convenient everywhere in the living area.

In addition to rice, Wang Lu also brought corn, wheat and other staple food seeds from China, and Wang Lu planned to plant some of them.The local climate conditions are very suitable for the growth of these food crops, especially corn. The ugali that Wang Lu hates is made from corn. After all, the main local food is corn.

In Wang Lu's plan, corn will become the main crop in the pasture after rice. As for other crops such as wheat, only a few acres of land will be planted.

Even the sweet potatoes and potatoes were not left out.

If we grow more, there will be a surplus of food.

In fact, with the current scale of planting, the rice production on both sides of the upper reaches of the Dome River alone is completely sufficient for the consumption of pastures.

However, Wang Lu thought that the quality of the rice produced in the black soil of Nagada in the northeastern part of the country was excellent, and the rice produced on the black soil that had been systematically improved on his own ranch would definitely not be bad.

When the time comes, it’s also a good choice to go back home and give it away.

Other food crops are not without their uses. Even if they are not eaten as staple food, sweet potatoes and potatoes can be made into sweet potato vermicelli, potato vermicelli, etc. to change the taste from time to time.

Doesn’t it taste delicious when arranged with pork stewed vermicelli?
When Wang Lu was in college, he followed Wu Dahai to eat at Northeastern Restaurant near the university town several times. It was so delicious that his stomach was full and he didn't even digest it until he returned to the dormitory.

When Wang Lu thought of this, another thought came to his mind.

"We need to raise some pigs in the pasture!"

The main local meat comes from cattle and sheep, but pork is rare. Wang Lu went to the town of Baria several times to buy it and only encountered it once.

Just raise a batch of them in the pasture and that's it!
I just don’t know what kind of local pig breeds to choose from.

Ever since, Wang Lu approached Harris again.

"Hey King, I was just looking for you. I have found a channel for the Boer goats you need. If you need them, they can be transported to your ranch in the next two days! There are also Zebu and Bangsi Mara cattle. I already have an idea, in fact I can even help you contact suppliers of Wagyu and Angus beef if you need it.”

As soon as Harris saw Wang Lu, he immediately reported his progress.

Wang Lu was immediately interested. Can Wagyu and Angus beef be obtained locally?

The names of these two types of cattle are well known even to a novice like Wang Lu who has not had much contact with the animal husbandry industry.

Unlike ordinary beef cattle, the beef produced by Wagyu and Angus cattle is the representative of quality, and its value is far higher than that of other cattle.

However, because of this, the breeding requirements for these two types of cattle are much higher than those of ordinary beef cattle. However, Wang Lu only wants to introduce a small batch of them for internal digestion. It is expected that the breeding cost will not be too high, so Wang Lu has no intention of doing so. After some hesitation, he decided to ask Harris to help him bring in some Wagyu and Angus beef!
