Chapter 101: Draw a Rural G-Tractor
The cooperation talks with the Agricultural University went very smoothly.

The planting cycle of a crop is relatively long, so the Agricultural University has many projects going on at the same time, and sometimes it is inevitable that it is unable to take care of them all.

It would be great if someone is willing to help with the planting and allow researchers to observe the characteristics of the varieties as they mature.

Xu Yang’s idea was simpler. The other party provided high-quality seeds but did not want the fruits.

At most, I would take a few grasses back to study their ingredients.

Where can I find this good thing?
The cooperation was naturally discussed.

Now that he had the seeds, Xu Yang began to arrange people to do farm work.

The village tractor driver came soon and was curious about what Xu Yang was going to plant.

Autumn is approaching, which is a good time to grow some vegetables that prefer a cool environment.

For example, green vegetables, Chinese cabbage, rapeseed, spinach and so on.

But these dishes are too common.

Every household in their village starts planting as soon as autumn comes.

They are everywhere and can't be sold at a high price.

I have to say that the cabbages here are of very good quality and are big enough.

As winter approaches, villagers carry sacks of crops home.

It is also the most common vegetable in winter.

Large areas of land were turned over and the grass was cleared.

Cartloads of farm manure were pulled in and spread on top.

It just so happened that the students of the Agricultural University had classes today, so they all came to the farm to watch the fun.

"Mechanical operations are still better. Why don't we ask the teacher to let us do mechanical operations here as well? We can't do it manually anymore!"

"You're overthinking it. The senior is still harvesting rice at school!"

"There's nothing we can do. We are college students and our labor force is the least valuable."

"Pure cow and horse!"

They were wearing white vests, camouflage pants, long boots and straw hats, and looked quite funny.

Xu Yang was staring at the field.

He set aside 8 acres of land for growing forage grass, which is a large area.

It is very laborious to plant the crops by manpower, so we hired someone to plant the crops using machines.

The final work of collecting the seeds, sowing seeds and covering the crops with film is done manually.

"What are you going to plant? So many acres?"

After finishing his work with the excavator, the master asked Xu Yang curiously.

The villagers are all gossipy and like to find out things and use them as topics of conversation with others.

"Just grow some grass, nothing more."

Xu Yang didn't say much.

He was busy checking the construction progress on site?

Planting grass?

The excavator master was a little confused. People here have not been exposed to forage grass varieties, so not many people are planting them.

However, in recent years, all kinds of crops have been grown on this land.

How many greenhouses have been built?

So it's nothing surprising.

Then we started to get busy.

The biggest problem in growing forage grass is weed control.

It is divided into two methods: physical and chemical. The physical method is to clean the weeds before planting, using a rotary weed machine several times, and the chemical method is to spray specific pesticides.

Xu Yang naturally chose the physical method.

After a whole day of hard work, all the grass seeds were finally planted.

The farm is very busy today, with many people and animals.

Although the sika deer did not come, the three little foxes came.

They are now completely unafraid of humans.

To be precise, as long as they see Xu Yang, they are not afraid of anyone else.

When someone came over, the three little guys ran to Xu Yang's feet.

You'll be safe if you follow Xu Yang.

There are also two long-tailed tits, which can be seen sometimes and not sometimes. Xu Yang made a nest for them, but they don't seem interested.

Or live alone in the woods.

Xu Yang just let them do what they wanted.

He never interferes too much with the choices of wild animals. If they want to come, they can come. If they don’t want to come, they can go somewhere else.

Wait until everything is finished.

The originally barren land covered with weeds has turned into a neatly arranged black soil covered with thin films.

It looks very neat.

The live broadcast has been on today, but the sound is not turned on.

The title of the live broadcast room is: Planting forage grass on the farm today
From the audience's perspective or the God's perspective, you can see how busy the farm is.

From time to time, someone would come in and watch for a while. It was quite interesting to see a group of people and machines busy at work.

After he was almost done, Xu Yang took back the drone, turned on the intelligent companion flight mode, then hung the microphone on his chest and started live streaming.

There are more than 2300 people in the live broadcast room.

You can also earn a lot of popularity today.

"The pasture has been planted, and that's pretty much it for this year's farm construction."

“We just have to wait for the crops to mature and see how much we can sell them for and whether we can make back our investment.”

“Maybe we’ll plant something else later.”

"My farm's income is mainly from planting."

Xu Yang said to everyone.

The people in the live broadcast room are all old fans who like to watch his live broadcast.

Many people cheered him on, and Xu Yang expressed his gratitude several times.

In fact, the feeling of live streaming is not bad. The more calm you are, the more interesting it is.

If you are the type who stares at your phone screen all the time, checking the lower right corner from time to time to see if there are any gifts or rewards, it is too utilitarian and meaningless.

Xu Yang had nothing to do, so he squatted down and teased the three little foxes.

Whenever Xu Yang touched them, they started whimpering, and they sounded extremely happy.

Foxes are all crying monsters.

Seeing this scene, the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but smile knowingly.

[Are these three foxes real foxes? They are so cute! ]

[The little fox seduces me, I want to touch it too! ] [Hahaha, it's pretty cute! ]

The atmosphere remains relaxed.

Then Xu Yang strolled around the farm and his day ended there.

After dinner, Xu Yang went to bed early.

He returned to the room and checked the system's popularity value.

The current total popularity value is 12.

Thinking of this, Xu Yang chose one advanced lottery and two ordinary draws.

The draw is always a delight.

[The host selected two ordinary draws and won the draw.]

[Congratulations to the host for receiving two ordinary rewards]

[Neck Massager*1: A neck massager, suitable for people who sit for long periods of time. ]

[Colored potato seeds*300: Potato seeds that can be used to grow potatoes of various colors (referring to potato sprouts that have been cut into pieces). 】

The sounds of two ordinary draws were heard.

Xu Yang was a little surprised.

The neck massage chair is fine, but he doesn't need it because he does outdoor activities every day, so his cervical and lumbar vertebrae are in good health.

But colored potato seeds are quite rare.

At least there are relatively few on the market.

"I have heard of colored potatoes, but will the market buy those fancy ones?"

Xu Yang thought to himself.

When it comes to growing crops, you still have to be down-to-earth.

Nowadays some young people like to try out trendy things, but they are not very feasible in the agricultural field.

Especially large-scale planting.

"Forget it, let's plant it. Autumn potatoes are planted in August and September, so it's the right time."

“Another investment is needed.”

"It's all investment now, and I don't know how much I can get back by the end of the year."

Xu Yang thought to himself.

He now grows blueberries, sugar apples, gem corn, forage grass, and a small amount of strawberries and dragon fruit.

The farm is mainly engaged in planting.

The risk of planting is relatively low, the only risk is that the market is bad and the product cannot be sold at a high price.

Because he grows in a greenhouse, he doesn't have to worry too much about natural disasters.

So the development of the farm is still very stable.

It can be opened.

"If you don't plant, you won't get any harvest. For planting, initial investment is a must."

"This way, we can have a good harvest in late autumn."

Xu Yang made up his mind.

[Host chooses advanced lottery, lottery in progress]

[Get one advanced reward:]

[1 high-quality small tractor: a powerful tractor equipped with accessories such as rotary tiller, plow, and seed drill.]

Then, the sound of advanced rewards sounded.

Hearing this voice, Xu Yang was delighted, but then he felt a little amused and helpless.

"No, I just planted 8 acres of land today. I hired someone to plow the land and sow the seeds."

“Then the tractor came at night!”

he thought to himself.

It's really frustrating.

But there was nothing we could do. The popularity value only reached over 10 that evening, so we could conduct the advanced lottery. We couldn’t draw before that.

Tractors, nicknamed "Rural Big G", come in many varieties.

The cheapest is a walk-behind tractor, which can be purchased for around a few thousand dollars.

The expensive ones are the large tractors, which cost one million yuan each.

There are many large tractors on the black soil side, some of which cost several million yuan each. They move forward in unison when plowing the land, and the scene is extremely spectacular.

The prices of small tractors vary, ranging from as cheap as 30,000 to 40,000 yuan to as expensive as 100,000 or 200,000 yuan.

Xu Yang checked the detailed information. His tractor was the Dongfanghong ME704, a four-wheel drive tractor on the market, and was a top-quality small tractor.

It is all red, has a nice shape, and has no roof, so it can be considered a convertible.

A tractor has only a front part, and farm implements can be added at the back.

It just so happens that the system rewards all the matching rotary tillers, plows and seed drills.

This is perfect. As soon as the tractor arrives, we can start planting potatoes.

There happens to be live broadcast content as well.

Xu Yang checked the weather forecast.

It will rain in three days.

As the saying goes, every autumn rain brings a chill.

It rains for the first time, and it may get warm again in two days.

If it rains a second or third time, the weather will turn cooler and it will be time to wear autumn clothes.

It gets colder here faster, so I guess you should prepare some cotton pants.

The tractor will arrive tomorrow.

Got to work early.

Then, Xu Yang went to the toilet and fell into a deep sleep.

the next day.

Xu Yang got up late and was woken up by the loud crowing of a rooster.

As soon as he heard the sound, Xu Yang knew it was already eight o'clock in the morning.

I picked up my phone and saw that it was exactly eight o'clock, not a minute late.

I was a bit busy yesterday, so I slept a little longer today.

This rooster is also smart. It loves to fly to Xu Yang’s roof and crow. The sound is quite loud and penetrating.

Xu Yang heard it clearly.

After waking up, he washed up and ate something.

Then I sat in the yard, enjoying the cool breeze and daydreaming for twenty minutes.

Then, a busy day begins.
