I run a farm, what the heck is this post-apocalyptic farm owner system?

Chapter 94 Record-breaking yield per mu, the joy of collecting eggs!

Chapter 94 Record-breaking yield per mu, the joy of collecting eggs!

After returning to the farm, Xu Ran put away the black truffles and then went to look at the wheat field.

The giant panda is resting on this side of the shed.

Once the harvesting machines leave the farm, the giant pandas can go back to their cabins.

The farmland has been mostly harvested, and the harvest is almost complete.

Wang Hai operated the drone, filming and recording the harvest.

This was the task Xu Ran gave him.

Because the sight of harvesting wheat fields from an overhead perspective is particularly relaxing.

Watching the lush wheat grow and be cleared away bit by bit until the ground is flat gives you a refreshing feeling.

Once it's edited and played at double speed, Xu Ran will be able to post another video.

Record the changes on the farm.

"Ran-ge, the wheat has been loaded onto the truck. We'll take it directly to the flour mill in a bit."

"The freshly harvested wheat must be dried in the sun."

"Should we just take it away?"

Upon seeing Xu Ran return, Li Wu immediately reported it.

"Yes, just take it away. The flour factory will handle it."

"The flour mill we sent to is professional and uses large-scale equipment, so we don't have to worry about anything."

"We'll just find a place to store the flour when the time comes."

Xu Ran nodded.

After the combine harvester harvests the wheat, it will be transported to the train through pipelines.

The truck bed was full of wheat, piled up into a small hill.

This is the purest form of grain. In the past, whether a year was a bumper harvest depended on whether wheat could fill the granary.

Even now, our country's reserve grain warehouses are full of fresh wheat.

As a farmer, seeing wheat makes me feel at ease.

"We'll keep plenty of flour on the farm, so we won't have to buy noodles or steamed buns anymore."

Xu Ran spoke again.

Such good stuff should naturally be used on the farm.

At this time, a university professor who had previously visited the farm called Xu Ran.

He exchanged pleasantries first, then asked directly, "Boss Xu, may I ask how many kilograms this type of wheat yields per mu?"

Xu Ran glanced at the wheat field and replied, "I just roughly measured it, it's about 1800 jin (900 catties)."

The actual yield per mu was higher than that, but Xu Ran deliberately understated it to avoid trouble.

Currently, the average yield of wheat per mu in China is about 800 jin, and better varieties can reach 1000 jin.

In Kaifeng, Henan, a rice-growing region famous for its rice cultivation, the highest yield per mu can reach 1800 jin.

And now, Xu Ran's wheat has actually reached this level.

This was completely unexpected.

"1800 jin? This wheat variety is truly exceptional! It's a semi-winter, early-maturing wheat variety with strong resistance to lodging and disease, possessing immense high-yield potential and significant research value."

The professor said excitedly on the phone.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ran immediately explained, "This kind of wheat yields higher per acre when grown here, depending heavily on the growing environment, and the feed I use is also of higher quality."

"Under normal circumstances, it can grow to a maximum of about 1000 jin (500 catties)."

The professor nodded. "We will test the seeds in the experimental field before cultivating them. Mr. Xu, thank you anyway."

"It's nothing."

Xu Ran hung up the phone.

Agricultural universities and agricultural research institutes are very important to agriculture in China.

The crop seed varieties and characteristics chosen by farmers all come from these places.

Xu Ran also hopes that the Agricultural University can develop new wheat seeds to increase yields and produce more food.

After all, having more food is a contribution to society.

Xu Ran looked at the wheat field.

The wheat field has now become flat, and the previous scene of a bountiful harvest is gone.

There were many wheat stalks scattered in the field, making it look somewhat messy.

It needs to be sorted out further.

Agriculture is like that; sowing and harvesting are a cyclical process.

Once one crop is harvested, it's time to prepare for the next crop.

Xu Ran looked around again, but couldn't see the little ones anywhere.

They're probably all playing around in the greenhouse.

The farm is huge.

There are many areas where you can move around.

This is especially true for the animals, particularly the cats and dogs, who live happily on the farm every day.

The farm's animals gradually began to interact with the animals from Nanshan Village.

Little Tabby has recently taken to running into the village, even though the farm and the village are five kilometers apart, which is quite far.

But for a domestic shorthair cat, this is no big deal at all.

Let's go there and have a fight every day.

Little Grey's relationship with the Stray Dogs is getting better and better, and sometimes he even joins the Stray Dogs' parade.

Xu Ran would feel a little helpless after seeing this.

It feels like a top student, painstakingly nurtured, has turned into a street urchin.

However, seeing that Xiao Hui was happy, he didn't say anything more.

"Ran-ge, that guy from next door came over again today and stole a few wheat grains."

"That person doesn't look like a good person at all."

At this moment, Li Wu came over and reported to him.

"Ignore him. Let him plant if he wants to, but he has to be able to actually grow it."

Xu Ran nodded, not paying much attention.

This guy is quite annoying; he wears his shrewdness on his sleeve. But running a farm in this place isn't that easy. Just breaking even is already impressive; making money is even harder.

Xu Ran was able to gain a foothold so quickly entirely by relying on the quality of her top-quality crops to connect with high-end channels.

Others may not possess such abilities.

After staring at the wheat field for a while to make sure there were no problems, Xu Ran returned to the farm.

He went to check out the breeding area first.

They happened to run into Wang Ping and Wu Xuan looking for eggs near the chicken coop.

Wang Ping is the farm's cook, and she is also responsible for collecting eggs and feeding the chickens.

Wu Xuan works in finance and has been quite relaxed lately with not much work, so he came to collect eggs with Wang Ping.

For Wu Xuan, the farm was simply the perfect workplace.

The work is easy, and I don't have to act at my desk. I can even move around a bit when I have free time.

Ideal job.

And the whole egg-hunting thing is actually quite interesting.

It's like a treasure hunt.

The two of them, each carrying a basket, searched everywhere.

Xu Ran saw them and greeted them with a smile, "Looking for eggs? It's already afternoon, and you still have eggs?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ping stood up and immediately said, "Boss, our farm has plenty of eggs! Those hens you bought last time, I don't know what's wrong with them, they're laying a lot of eggs!"

"They are also a bit larger than ordinary hens, and they eat more on a regular basis."

"Now I pick them up once every morning and again in the afternoon."

"There's simply not enough to pick them all up."

Xu Ran nodded.

These hens are all egg-laying hens awarded by the system; they are highly productive and in good physical condition.

Making some money by raising them won't be a problem.

In addition, the Divine Rooster can be used as a breeding stock. When the time comes, let the Divine Rooster use its power to grow and produce a batch of fertilized eggs, which can then hatch into new chicks.

These chicks are all laying hens.

The farm's eggs will only increase.

"I was just about to mention this. I've already made contact with the town and we're planning to save up for a while before selling a batch of eggs there."

"They'll still be stored in the warehouse."

"Egg prices are okay right now, so we'll sell as many as we can."

Xu Ran continued.

"No problem, the eggs are all stored in the food storage room. I've left them there. Just go and get them whenever you want to sell them."

"If we don't make it more marketable soon, we'll run out of space."

Wang Ping said with a smile.

Xu Ran, having nothing else to do, also joined the search for eggs.

The area where the hens roam is very large. This whole area is wasteland right next to the breeding area. It can't be developed into farmland, so it became a place for raising chickens.

There are many weeds and dilapidated houses, so eggs can be found anywhere, under the grass, in the nooks and crannies.

The Border Collie and the wild boar are playing in the living area.

Upon seeing Xu Ran appear from afar, it immediately abandoned the wild boar and ran towards Xu Ran.

Then it jumped around next to Xu Ran.

Dogs are always passionate and express their emotions fully.

Xu Ran patted its head and then continued searching for eggs.

Little Gray looked at Xu Ran for a while, seemingly understanding what Xu Ran was doing. Then, it lowered its head and began searching for eggs.

This guy is really intelligent and perceptive.

Seeing its adorable appearance, Xu Ran couldn't help but laugh.

"Little Grey, don't bite the egg, you'll break it."

Xu Ran saw that it had found an egg, so she quickly reminded it and then went over to pick up the egg.

Then, Xu Ran stopped looking and let Xiao Hui look for it, saying she would just pick it up herself.

The joy of finding eggs is entrusted to Little Gray.
