Rebirth of the New Farmers in the 1980s

Wearing an apron, Liu Jiu was making feed with several hired pig farmers.

The popular explanation is to crush corn stalks.

These straws are crushed into powder and blended into bean cake and fish meal according to a certain ratio, and then salt and premix are added, and the feed is made.

The stalks are not all corn stalks, but also soybean stalks.

These straws were collected with money, and a tall and large haystack was piled up on the open space in the north of the pig farm.

This reminded Wan Feng of his previous life when he worked on the dairy farm in Lanshan Township, the dairy farm also had such a huge haystack.

Liu Jiu, who was working, turned his head and saw Wan Feng, and explained to the workers a few words, and then walked out of the straw-crushing shed where he worked.

He took off his hat with a shawl, patted the dust off his body, and walked towards Wan Feng while smoking a cigarette.

"Uncle Liu! You didn't make that kind of bagged feed?"

When Liu Jiu walked in front of Wan Feng, the cigarette had already been lit, curling green smoke under the sunlight at 8:30 in the morning.

"We haven't done it yet. Shengguang and I decided to do a one-year experiment today. We made feeds with various raw materials, and fed a group of pigs with one feed. We recorded in detail the cost of feed, the growth and disease resistance of pigs, etc. After a year of breeding, we will have first-hand information, so next year we can sell the feed besides our own use.”

This idea is more realistic.

It is a safe way to do it when you have a bottom line in your heart, which is more in line with the characteristics of farmers' investment.

After Liu Jiu explained, he took Wan Feng to the outside of a pigsty.

There are five pigs in this pigsty, and they are relatively small, about one hundred catties, which is a bit beyond Wan Feng's expectation.

This pig that has been raised for six or seven months is so small? Is it too late for such a small pig to be slaughtered during the Chinese New Year?

The pigs in the pigsty had just finished their breakfast, and now they were lying in disorder in the pigsty one by one. When they saw someone coming, some raised their heads and grunted a few times, staring at the dead fish a little bit, and some didn’t even look at them at all. Lie down on the concrete floor and pretend to be dead.

"The seven pigpens here are all the piglets caught more than two months ago. They are experimental pigs other than the 200 pigs we raised at the beginning. They have been fed feed from the beginning. This pigpen is made of a No. 1 feed is fed, and we mix No. 1 feed in this way: 60 catties of cornmeal, 20 catties of bean cakes, 18 catties of fine bran, 5 taels of salt, 1 catty of bone meal, 1 catty of shellfish powder, 5 taels of premix, one day Feed three times."

Then he went to the next pigsty: "The five pigs in this pen are fed with No. 2 feed, which is another formula feed. The formula is as follows: 50 catties of cornmeal, 30 catties of straw powder, and 10 catties of bean cakes. Eight catties of fried soybean powder, one catty of bone meal, one catty of shellfish powder, five taels of salt, and five taels of premix."

Wan Feng nodded.

Feed different groups of pigs with feeds of different formulas, so that it can be tested which formula feeds the pigs with short growth period and high slaughter rate.

Then Liu Jiu introduced the remaining five pig pens. The pigs in each pig pen were fed the same feed separately. The size of the pigs was not the same. catty.

"The thirty-five pigs in these six pens are purely for experiments to see if we can reach the number of catties for slaughter in four months. Now it seems that the pigs fed on the third and fifth feeds will be fed by the New Year. It is not a problem to reach more than 250 catties, and the rest is more than 200 catties."

Two hundred catties of pork is relatively tender and tastes bad, and most people don't like it.

But there are also people who like to eat this kind of pork, which can be regarded as reaching the weight of the slaughter.

Wan Feng appreciated their approach of step by step.

"Through experiments, we plan to focus on launching No. 3 and No. 5 feeds next year. Pigs can reach the level of slaughter in four to five months, and there should be a market."

"There must be a market. Go ahead and do it. Maybe after two years you will be able to specialize in feed and even pigs."

The price of pork has risen steadily in the past two years, and the pig industry will soon become a shortcut for farmers to make a fortune.

However, it is impossible for the pigs to be slaughtered in four or five months by the traditional method of raising pigs. If the pigs are to be slaughtered quickly and the turnover is fast, feeding feed is the best choice.

In the north, Liu Shengguang and Liu Jiu are the ones who have taken the first step. As long as they can manage well, they will do it. As for the scale of development, it depends on the fate of each person.

After watching these little pigs, Wan Feng went to see those big pigs that had been raised for more than half a year.

These big pigs are generally around 230 to 40 catties, and it is estimated that they will reach 2780 catties by the end of the year, and the big ones may exceed 300 catties.

"Have you pigs come to order now?"

"Yes! It's not enough! The chain factory in Dongshan ordered five, the rim factory in Nandawan ordered five, the axle factory ordered six, and your uncle's factory ordered four. Dinners, almost all booked out now, gone."

These foodies didn't even leave some for him.

A small factory is good. In Wan Shuiming's small factory, there are more than a hundred people, and it is enough to know how to feed four pigs at a time.

And if his Nanwan Group had dinner now, forty pigs would not be enough.

After visiting the pig farm, Wan Feng said goodbye to Liu Jiu and Liu Shengguang as he was leaving for Black Reef.

It was already past nine o'clock when the car arrived in Heijiao Township. Wan Feng first went to the township government to find Zhang Wencai.

Zhang Wencai, the mayor of the township, also served as the head of the development zone, and Wan Feng of course turned to him if he wanted to know about the development zone.

Unfortunately, Zhang Wencai was not in the township government. Someone told Wan Feng that Zhang Wencai had gone to the Wuquan Development Zone.

Wuquan Development Zone is not too far from Shanatou, where the Heijiao Township Government is located. It takes more than ten miles to reach Wuquan by car.

Zhang Wencai's task years ago was to let people in the resettlement area know about the relocation policy and prepare for relocation.

The government arranged uniform housing for these relocated households in neighboring Yushan Village and Yutun Village, and compensated for the loss of land and houses.

The house is valued according to the appraisal, which is usually much higher than the house cost at that time. How much is the compensation for one mu of land.

If some of them want to work in the enterprises in the development zone in the future, they will give priority to them.

People in the 1990s were relatively simple-minded, and there were no people who jumped out to hinder relocation after the state compensated the land.

Zhang Wencai's work is relatively smooth. His current job is to provide homesteads for these relocated households in the relocation areas designated by the government.

After the homestead is completed, these relocated households will lay the foundation before the freeze, and start building houses next spring.

When Wan Feng found him, Zhang Wencai was gesticulating on a piece of land in Yushan Village with his hands behind his back.

Here is a foothold for these relocated households.
