Chapter 142 College students are really good at making trouble!
Xu Yang put all the pecans he picked up in the store and sold them there, and gave the proceeds to his parents.

He really doesn't have time to go to the mountain product market.

Moreover, there are too many walnuts for sale in the mountain product market now, and the sales are slow, which is a waste of time for Xu Yang.

He also has a lot going on on the farm now.

Many crops have reached a critical period and need to be weeded and fertilized, which is a lot of work.

There is no way one person can finish it.

This is the case when Xu Yang's farm is semi-automated.

If it were purely manual work, it would take at least four or five people to finish working on such a large area.

Xu Yang was calculating the time in his mind.

Potatoes mature in early October.

There are not many strawberries and dragon fruits planted in half of the greenhouse, and they are estimated to be ripe in mid-October.

The gem corn is in the other half of the greenhouse and is expected to mature in November.

Blueberries are in season around the end of December or January.

Custard apple is in season in February.

That is to say, in the golden autumn season of October, the farm produces agricultural products every month.

Generate revenue every month.

At noon, Xu Yang walked out of the greenhouse and was ready to take a rest after being busy for half a day.

When I turned around, I saw the little sika deer playing with the rope hanging outside the greenhouse.

The personality of the Sika deer is very similar to that of the Fawn Dog, and it also has the attribute of destroying the house.

Seeing this, Xu Yang shouted to Xiao Hei beside him:
"Little Black, look, Bambi is destroying the house. Tell him to stop it."

Hearing Xu Yang's words, Xiao Hei immediately ran over and pounced on the little sika deer with his paws.

The little sika deer was pounced on and immediately stopped removing the rope.

These little guys would do some strange things from time to time, and Xu Yang would say a few words when he saw them.

Just then, the big geese raised in the yard suddenly started calling "ga ga ga ga".

Anyone who has raised geese knows that geese like to call, especially when strangers approach, they will make warning calls.

Moreover, geese are very wary of strangers and may even attack them actively.

It just flaps its wings and pecks at people.

Some farmers even use geese to guard their homes, which is better than dogs.

Among the animals in the countryside, geese are those that are not easy to mess with. Some people jokingly call them the "countryside goose force."

The geese began to call, which meant someone was coming.

At this time, the horse dog also barked a few times towards the outside.

When Xu Yang was walking out, he saw that it was Liu Boliang, his tutor from the Agricultural University, who was coming over.

The two chatted across the farm fence.

"Master Xu, I came to take another look at the growth of the second crop of grass. The grass you planted last time is growing very well. We went back and studied it, and it has reached the level that can be used as a breeding variety."

"I am using it to continue to propagate grass seeds, so I came here to see how it grows."

Liu Boliang said to Xu Yang.

Liu Boliang is a person who specializes in forage research in the school. The academic fields become more and more subdivided as you go further. Undergraduates learn everything, but when you become a graduate student or doctoral student, you find a specific direction for research.

Liu Boliang is the direction of forage.

The forage varieties produced by the Agricultural University are very popular in the market and are high-quality forage. The seeds cultivated every year sell very well.

The forage grass planted by Xu Yang was also grown in cooperation with the Agricultural University, and the forage grass seeds were all provided by the Agricultural University.

"No problem. Some are popping up now. The weather is going to be cold soon, so the growth will definitely be slow."

“Especially after November.”

"Let them grow for another fall, and I'll mow them again before winter. It's better for the grass seedlings to be lower in the winter.

Xu Yang looked at the pasture field and responded lightly.

At this moment, the black horse Jingzhe was eating grass in the pasture.

This guy discovered this treasure trove and comes here to eat when he is hungry, without having to feed him.

This herb is specially grown forage. It tastes better and is more nutritious than ordinary grass on the grassland. Animals will definitely like it.

There was a lot of grass, but the amount for a horse was minimal, so Xu Yang let it eat as much as it wanted.

Now, in addition to drinking milk, the little sika deer occasionally comes to the pasture field to eat some grass.

It is also easy to raise.

Liu Boliang came in through the railing and stood next to the pasture.

He took a look at the black horse raised by Xu Yang.

This black horse looks very handsome, tall and mighty. It looks much more intimidating than the animals raised by the students of the College of Animal Science.

If a student from the College of Animal Science can raise such a tall horse, he or she will definitely be a star in the college.

However, raising horses is expensive and requires special living and activity areas, so students cannot afford it.

"It's okay, it's very gentle, except that it doesn't like to get close to people, there's nothing wrong with it."

Xu Yang looked at the dark horse and explained.

Jingzhe is only close to Xu Yang and ignores everyone else except Xu Yang.

Before, when Xu Hongshan came over, he saw Jingzhe was so handsome and wanted to touch him, but Jingzhe dodged very quickly and didn’t let him touch him at all.

After it hid several times in a row, Xu Hongshan got angry and wanted to chase it and touch it, but he couldn't catch up at all.

Xu Hongshan had no choice but to give up.

"That's good. Your horse looks quite majestic."

Liu Boliang admired sincerely, but his eyes were still a little cautious. He even walked behind Xu Yang, letting Xu Yang stand between him and the dark horse.

After all, the attack power of horse hooves should not be underestimated. The thighs of this black horse are full of muscles, and the power of its kick is unbearable for most people.

The black horse ignored Liu Boliang. After confirming that it was safe, Liu Boliang squatted down and stroked the grass's secondary growth to judge its stamina and condition.

The grass is still growing well.

Generally speaking, a batch of hay can be harvested four times.

After four times, the grass will not grow much, so the grass roots have to be cleared out and replanted.

This is true for many crops. For example, blueberries can grow for several years in a row. Their growth is best in the third year and starts to decline in the fourth year. However, you can also start cultivating the next batch of blueberries from the fourth year.

In other words, as long as they are planted well, blueberries can last for several years once planted.

"What you have here is quite good, comparable to the varieties we specially cultivated."

"We can have more cooperation in the future. There are still a few professors in the research lab who complain every day that there is not enough land for research and they have no place to plant seeds."

Liu Boliang praised with a smile.

What he meant was not that there was no place to sow seeds, but that there were not enough resources for the seeds to develop and grow perfectly, thus producing excellent varieties.

In fact, breeding is a process of selecting the best from the best.

Simply put, a batch of seeds are planted, some grow well and some grow poorly, and the best ones are taken to continue to produce new seeds.

Or you can crossbreed two varieties of high-quality crops to create offspring with better traits for further breeding.

Regardless of the method, the seeds need to be planted.

But it is easier said than done.

"Next year I plan to expand the farm, add a few more greenhouses, and open up more fields."

“I’m still thinking about what to plant.”

"We can plant more forage grass. Relatively speaking, it is easier to grow forage grass."

Xu Yang responded.

"That's great." Liu Boliang was very happy to hear him say that. "If you need it, we can provide forage seeds. They are definitely the best seeds."

“It’s best suited to our climate here.”

"You can also choose the type of forage."

Xu Yang nodded, "No problem."

The two chatted for a while, and Liu Boliang recorded the data of the forage, took a few photos, and prepared to leave.

"I have to grade the students later. I'm here today to see how their homework is done."

"The sophomore practical course just started, and most of the crops we planted were poor, and many of them failed to produce any harvest."

Liu Boliang said to Xu Yang.

"I'll go and take a look too." Xu Yang immediately became interested when he heard there was something exciting to watch.

"No problem, they are all familiar anyway."

So the two of them crawled out from under the railing and walked towards the fields of the Agricultural University.

The black horse looked at Xu Yang from across the railings.

The horse dog came out immediately and followed Xu Yang closely.

This guy is very smart and responsible. He always barks a few times when strangers come to the farm.

He doesn't bark loudly, nor does he make any extreme movements.

It followed Xu Yang when he came out, and its expression became innocent.

Soon, Xu Yang and Liu Boliang arrived at the experimental field of the Agricultural University.

Liu Boliang took out a list with a table containing various data.

There were two other teachers following Liu Boliang.

Xu Yang was watching the fun from the side.

The agricultural university students he knew were all extroverted, and when the teacher inspected their fields, they started to talk a lot.

"At least half of my peanuts have grown fruits, but I don't know who pulled them all out!"

"My onions were eaten by my fellow villager's cow!"

"The chives have grown too. Teacher, you can see a few of them!"

The teachers in the school have seen these tricks so many times that they are too lazy to deal with them.

Especially the leeks, the teachers don’t want to talk.

The person who grows leeks is Wu Kai.

Xu Yang looked at the chives in the field and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He has the skills of an expert in farming, so he can see it clearly.

The row of leeks in the field were not grown, but were planted one by one.

In other words, Wu Kai went to the market and bought a bunch of leeks. The night before the test, he secretly picked all the whole leeks and put them in the field, pretending that they were well grown.

This is a talent.

College students still know how to do things!
Xu Yang didn't want to laugh so obviously, but he couldn't help it.

It's so interesting to watch the students farming.

In order to pass the exam, I really tried every possible means.

The teacher must have noticed it, so he didn't even bother to pay attention to Wu Kai.

He didn't even get any extra points for being a leek.

However, what surprised Xu Yang the most was the gem corn grown by Wu Kai.

Although a large number of corn seedlings fell down and were lying down, they could still produce corn and be harvested.

Any corn that can grow is good corn.

This shows that applying more fertilizer will also be effective.

Of course, the quality of the corn is not very good, the grains are not full, it can only be said to be barely passing, and cannot be called a good product.

All I can say is take it slow.
