Chapter 1133 1181. Those Sheep Oil That Year (45)
If it only serves the ranch, it would be a waste of the heart of this second-level farm, so Wang Bo mainly grows food that humans can eat.
Not only does he want to grow food, but he also wants to grow fruits. Although this is just the heart of the farm, there are often patches of fruit forests on farms in New Zealand, so the heart of the farm should be able to cover it.
The main reason is that he has never drawn any Heart of the Fruit Forest or Heart of the Orchard, and the fruits in the town are always purchased from outsiders, which makes him very unhappy.
A successful super town should be self-sufficient.
Wang Bo grows wheat, barley, oats and malt for brewing.
However, the first batch still needs to plant corn, but not only green corn, but also fruit corn and yellow corn.
He revised the plan and returned it to Motak, who just glanced at it and became weird: "Boss, it's okay if you want to grow corn, but why do you want to grow fruits? Especially you want to grow white cherries? !"
Yes, Wang Bo wants to grow cherry trees, which are one of the most profitable fruits in New Zealand.
New Zealand white cherries are famous all over the world. No matter in which country, including New Zealand, the origin of white cherries, the price of white cherries remains high.
This is mainly because the yield of white cherries is not high, and because of their sweetness and brittleness, their skins are relatively fragile. During the process of picking and transportation, they are prone to loss, resulting in defects in appearance and affecting prices.
Because of this, the sales price of plump and undamaged New Zealand white cherries in some countries and regions can be calculated in "pieces". .
New Zealanders and Australians like to enjoy and have strong consumption power. Most of the high-quality white cherries are consumed domestically. If they can be sold abroad in good condition, the profits will be astonishing.
And because the seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres are opposite, when New Zealand white cherries were on the market, it happened that many countries in the northern hemisphere had no fruit, which made their value even higher.
When Wang Bo checked the prices of seasonal fresh fruits on the Internet, he found that white cherries can be sold for fifty dollars a pound in the United States, and the best Rainier white cherries even cost hundreds of dollars a pound!
This is definitely a good business with huge profits!
In terms of white cherry selection, Wang Bo also chose Rainier.
There are several different "small varieties" of white cherries in New Zealand, the best of which is Rainier.
This is a variety with a history of more than 60 years. It was first researched by Harold Fogel of the University of Washington in 1952. It is named after the Rainier Mountains. lubricating.
Just like kiwifruit, Rainier cherries are also immigrant fruits. After they were introduced to New Zealand and planted, they formed the unique quality of New Zealand cherries under the unique natural conditions of the Otago region of the South Island.
Sunset Town is also located in the Otago region, where the latitude is high, the soil nutrients are abundant, the sunshine is strong, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, which is very suitable for the growth of Rainier cherries.
So from this point of view, the cultivation of white cherries in Sunset Town is a matter of course, and Motak shouldn't show such a strange expression.
So Wang Bo asked: "Yes, I want to plant white cherries, what's wrong?"
Motak smiled bitterly: "Boss, white cherries are difficult to grow. The trees are prone to diseases. Cherries are delicious, but they are easily damaged by birds and insects. It is too difficult to protect them."
Yes, this is the reason why white cherries are so rare, otherwise, they would be so delicious and expensive, farmers in New Zealand would have rushed to plant them.
New Zealand’s fruits are free from pesticides. This is a characteristic and a rule. Many people buy fruits and eat them without washing them. If the fruits contain pesticides, accidents are easy to happen.
In this way, it is easy to understand the damage caused by insects to white cherries.
There are also wild birds in New Zealand. They also know that white cherries are delicious. Many finches use white cherries as their staple food.
The cherries are too small, and once they are bitten by insects or pecked by birds, they have to be discarded, but for birds, farmers have nothing to do.
Chinese farmers like to use anti-bird nets to prevent wild birds from destroying food or fruits, but this tool cannot be used in New Zealand, otherwise they will face the penalty of imprisonment.
Wang Bo knows this, but he still wants to grow white cherries, he has the heart of a farm, so he is afraid of this?
Seeing that he was determined to go his own way, Mortak could only shrug his shoulders and go ahead to carry it out.
The next step is purchasing. The company run by the handsome guy in Mexico has a supply department, and all the purchases in Sunset Town are made by the company.
Soon, various corn seedlings and white cherry saplings were delivered.
Coincidentally, these seedlings came from MC Plant Breeding LLC, the supplier of ginseng seedlings.
It's a pity that there is no policy support this time, and the Maori identity is useless. The last time I bought ginseng, Atulu saved Wang Bo 35,000 yuan, and bought the ginseng back for less than 20,000 yuan.
It can be seen from this that the New Zealand government's policy support for the Maori is strong, and even so, the Maori still live at the bottom of society.
The farm has started construction in full swing, and the ranch is not idle.
When Wang Bo invested in the construction of the slaughterhouse, he also built a small sheep oil collection field by the way, which was attached to the slaughterhouse and opened two sheep oil collection production lines.
Like white cherries, New Zealand lanolin has a global reputation.
In particular, the lanolin produced in South Island is very popular because of its excellent quality, delicate texture, lubricating, moisturizing, and very mild nature. Almost no one is allergic to it.
Many people think that suet is the fat extracted from lamb or lamb belly viscera during the slaughter process, which is completely wrong.
Lanolin is refined from natural wool, so the cleaner the wool, the higher the oil content, the easier it is to extract, and the extracted quality is also high.
In the past few years, Sunset Town has accumulated a large amount of sheep wool, and now in spring, it is a good time to shave the sheep twice a year, and it is also a good time to extract sheep oil.
The previous sheep wool was digested by the town, and the sheep wool produced by the Sunset Ranch is extremely clean, and the woolen sweaters made are beautiful and warm.
Since last year, Wang Bo intends to expand the sheep population, so this spring, there is enough sheep wool for sheep oil refining.
It’s a pity to say that the purpose of Lao Wang’s expansion of the sheep population is to extract sheep oil. He didn’t expect his own wool to be so popular that it even became a gift for tourists to buy from the next country.
He couldn't waste the sheep oil extraction production line he invested in. These two production lines cost him half a million yuan, so he expanded the scale of sheep production.
