Chapter 1010 995. Profile Analysis (15)
The farm area Wang Bo chose is far away from the pasture. He chose the south of Highway 8 to build the farm.
As for the construction of a farm, it does not mean that choosing a piece of land and putting it in the heart of the farm is over, the work has just begun.
The first is to delineate the farm area, which is relatively simple, just mark it in four directions along the control range of the heart of the ranch.
Knowing that he was going to develop agriculture and build a farm, Hani was puzzled: "Boss, why do you think it's a good idea? Why do you want to build a farm all of a sudden? Wouldn't it be better to build a ranch?"
The ranch in Sunset Town is now well-known, and there are frequent big orders coming in. It seems that expanding the ranch is a serious matter.
Wang Bo knows this, so now he also hopes to draw more Hearts of the Ranch.
But this luck is too fucking bad, he didn't want the ranch before, the heart of the ranch came one after another, and now he wants to build a ranch, but the heart of the ranch can't see it.
However, building a farm is also good. After all, agriculture is the foundation and food is the most important thing for the people. It is also very important for Sunset Town to achieve self-sufficiency in food.
"It's going to be winter soon, boss, are you sure you want to start the farm now?" Kidd asked.
Hani shook his head: "You don't understand boy. If the boss wants to build a farm, he has to start construction this season. Because building a farm from a piece of wasteland is not a job that can be completed in a few days."
"To build a farm, weeds must be removed first. Weeds wither in winter, and the workload is much smaller than that in spring and summer when a fire is lit and machines are used to eradicate the grass roots."
Yes, Wang Bo has had the heart of the farm for two months, but he has not used it all the time, just waiting for the season when the weeds wither to clean up the farm.
Hani discussed this matter with him, and said: "If you want to build a farm, I mean a determined investment, that's fine. There are so many plains in Sunset Town, and it's always a good thing to use them."
As we all know, New Zealand is small and sparsely populated, and its land resources seem to be extremely abundant.
But that is for the North Island, which is low-lying, with discontinuous mountains, many plains and fertile soil.
This is not the case in the South Island. There are many and high mountains here. The mountainous area accounts for 70% of the entire island, the hills account for 21% of the land, and the plains account for only 9%.
Sunset Town has an area of 1,000 square kilometers. In fact, the Southern Alps in the north has an area of 200 square kilometers. In addition, the rest of the land is mostly hills.
Fortunately, the hills can be used as pastures, because Wang Bo adopts the method of grazing, and the hills are more suitable for cattle and sheep to live in.
After picking out nothing for a day, Wang Bo went to the grocery store to buy a lot of fence poles and ropes, and took Atulu and others to measure the land.
The area of 40 square kilometers is nothing in numbers, but in reality, the land area is too large. It took Wang Bo an hour to drive around!
Of course, this has something to do with the rough and uneven terrain in the wasteland, which makes the speed of the vehicle very slow.
"The area of this farm is so big that it would take an hour to drive around." Kidd, who came to help, exclaimed.
Atulu said: "You mean, we should change cars, right?"
The farm area was carefully selected by Wang Bo. The plain in Sunset Town covers an area of two to three hundred square kilometers, but the vegetation is chaotic, and some places are very laborious to develop.
Since the Mesozoic Era, New Zealand has been separated from other continents for a long time, so New Zealand's plant species are relatively unique, with relatively few species, but a large number.
This is related to the climate of New Zealand. The South Island has long sunshine hours and abundant rainfall, which creates good natural conditions for the growth of various plants. The plains are overgrown with weeds and ferns, as well as kauri, conifers, and laurel trees. , New Zealand hemp and other trees.
It's relatively easy to get rid of weeds, but harder to get rid of trees.
Wang Bo is not familiar enough with agriculture. Hani suggested that he find a professional team to help him develop and build this farm. Although it will cost a little money, it will save him a lot of detours.
Elizabeth said: "I think I can help in this regard. When I was in school, I took professional courses in the Agricultural College, and I know some tutors. The postgraduate team they lead will take this kind of work."
The brand of Otago University is loud enough, and Wang Bo asked her to help contact them.
Elizabeth worked vigorously and quickly, and soon had results. A professor of agronomy and environmental science named Brandt Hamilton accepted their invitation.
This Professor Brandt is quite well-known in New Zealand. He is a pattern design expert hired by many large farms in the South Island. He is very good at matching species according to the environment style, and he can give Wang Bo good advice in this regard.
From accepting the employment to the final completion of the farm, Brandt charged a fee of 400,000 yuan, which Wang Bo felt was not much.
At the end of the middle ten days, Brandt arrived, and he immediately let Wang Bo know that his money was not in vain.
Brandt brought two postgraduate students to Sunset Town. They brought an analysis report on the soil quality, water resources and climate resources of Sunset Town to guide the construction of the farm.
The soil in New Zealand can be roughly divided into three main types: zonal soil, recessed soil and pan-regional soil. The soil type in the South Island is a typical zonal soil, but the soil in Sunset Town is an exception.
"We collected soil in Sunset Town many years ago for analysis, and found that the soil here was affected by pumice and volcanic ash. This is rather strange, because there are no volcanoes around here, isn't it?"
Professor Brandt is a middle-aged man who looks like a farmer rather than a professor. He was wearing rain boots when he came to see Wang Bo, which is standard equipment for a farmer.
Wang Bodao: "There should be no volcanoes around here."
Professor Brandt shook his head: "I used to think so too, until when I investigated the situation in Sunset Town, I learned that you recently discovered a hot spring."
The hot springs in Sunset Town are quite famous, especially Wang Bo chose to invest heavily in the construction, which has attracted the attention of many people.
"There are hot springs, which prove that there is geothermal energy. During this period of time, I investigated the geology of the South Island. In the end, I think that there used to be a large volcano here, and the volcanic eruption formed Lake Hawea."
This news made Pharaoh a little anxious: "Are you sure there is a volcano in our town?"
Professor Brandt smiled and said, "Maybe you misunderstood me. This volcano existed in history. It happened hundreds of thousands or even millions of years ago. I was analyzing the soil quality of Sunset Town."
Old Wang was stunned and motioned for him to continue.
After analyzing the soil quality, he introduced water resources.
The water resources in Sunset Town are still abundant. The strong warm and humid westerly wind brings a lot of rainfall to the whole of New Zealand, but the westerly wind from the mountains parallel to the coast has a greater impact on the east, so the overall rainfall distribution in New Zealand is more in the west than in the east.
The location of the town is in the central region, with average rainfall, and the surrounding area has an annual rainfall of about 2,000 millimeters, which is enough for the farm.
