After the tour in the town, the two of them had lunch in the town, and Wang Bo tasted a fruit meal.

The farm was officially visited in the afternoon. The bonfire farm planted crops such as autumn wheat, beer, rapeseed and green corn. Christan's farm is large in area and the more crops it grows.

Wang Bo was amazed, and Christine shook his head and said, "The market is not good now, so you can't put eggs in one basket, so you have to plant multiple crops. In fact, this will lead to lower income."

This is a helpless move by farmers. International agricultural and grain prices are unpredictable, the weather in New Zealand is not good, and the farm's income is very affected.

In the past, farmers would plant one or two crops in an agricultural season, which would facilitate management, have low cost of large-scale planting and make more money.

Wang Bo said: "My farm has a good harvest this year. Is it a bad one?"

Christine sighed and said, "My spring wheat is losing a lot. In January, I encountered drought during the wheat grouting period. You also know that there was no rain or snow in the past winter and the water source was scarce."

"Later, it was time to get harvested in February and March. Damn it. It was late this summer. The wheat encountered frost. As a result, it did not grow well in the early stage. In the later stage, it was not good to harvest fruits and the particles were not full."

Wang Bo nodded silently and said, "Where is Qiu Xiaomai?"

They happened to walk to the wheat field, and a large harvester was running in the farmland, followed by a large pickup truck, and the harvester would send the wheat into it after harvesting the wheat.

When the trailer was full, Christine waved and asked it to drive over, then took Wang Bo to climb up the ladder, stirring the wheat grains inside with his hands to show him.

Wang Bo couldn't help but shake his head. The wheat grains were still not full enough. According to New Zealand's classification of grain, this belongs to third-level wheat and cannot be sold at a good price.

Christine seemed to be worried that so much bad news would hit him, so she said, "Fortunately, the government subsidies are relatively high now, and although the wheat harvest is not good, it rarely produces diseases, which is not bad."

Taking Wang Bo to stroll in the wheat fields, the 200 hectares of wheat is very spectacular. When you look free from stocking, you can see that it is full of wheat fields. The bright sunshine falls, and the wheat ears flutter with the wind, reflecting the sunshine like waves.

In such a place, you can really smell the smell of wheat. Wang Bo took a deep breath. The aroma of wheat and the fresh smell of soil were mixed together, which was quite novel to him.

Several big dogs ran in the harvested wheat fields. The dogs on the bonfire farm were all big German shepherds, their ears were raised high, and they ran like wind. They rolled around the wheat fields for a few times, and their bodies were covered with broken cereal.

The farm uses a modern large harvester with the ability to crush wheat straw. After the wheat straw is broken, it will be put away together. The government will arrange cleaning trucks to send these things away.

New Zealand strictly prohibits burning straw in farmland, and after being caught, the farm was severely punished. Wang Bo burned weeds at that time and went to Wellington to apply for it, otherwise it would not be possible.

After the harvester, some straw fragments will inevitably fall into the farmland. Because they were crushed successfully, these straw fragments fall into the fields like small snowflakes, and they fall into the fields softly. The German herds were excited to go crazy.

Behind these strong German shepherds, there was a small border herder stumbled and followed.

Christine whistled, and several dogs turned their heads to look at him, but only the little border herder ran towards him.

He picked up the puppy and laughed: "Look, this kid wants to play with the big dog, but this doesn't work. They will exhaust you because they are adult dogs."

After visiting the wheat fields for a while, he waved and said, "Come on, take you to see a beautiful one."

After he said this, Wang Bo guessed what he was going to see, it must be the rapeseed field.

When he looked down at the farm from the helicopter in the morning, he noticed the vast rape field. Although he had missed the season when rape flowers bloom, he still saw that the rapeseed was so beautiful.

Rapeseed is a long-lasting crop. It likes a cool or warmer climate. The entire growth period of rapeseed is completed below 22 days. When the temperature is higher than 3, rapeseed can only sprout and emerge. Due to the differences in climate between regions, the rapeseed planting seasons are different, so there are winter rapeseed and spring rapeseed.

New Zealand's climate is relatively mild. Its average winter temperature limit is degrees Celsius, and the coldest monthly average temperature limit is minus 5 degrees Celsius. For rape, this can still be safe to overwinter.

Therefore, New Zealand can grow winter rapeseed and spring rapeseed. Winter rapeseed is sown in autumn and harvested in late spring. Spring rapeseed varieties do not have strict requirements on low temperatures. They can not only sow in autumn and harvest in summer, but also sow in spring and summer and harvest in summer.

When the two arrived at the rapeseed field, the wheat waves disappeared, and replaced by a green and yellow ocean.

There are hundreds of hectares of rapeseed. Wang Bo put his hands on his eyebrows and looked forward. The green and yellow look was boundless, and occasionally mixed with blooming rapeseed flowers, which was still very pleasing to the eye.

Christine grabbed a handful of soil from the ground and showed it to him, "Look, what are these?"

Wang Bo also grabbed a handful of soil and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Sand soil? The soil here is very poor."

Christine smiled and said, "Yes, the soil here is relatively poor, and it is all sandy land. When I bought this farm, it did not include these sandy land. At that time, there were only sparse weeds on a large area of ​​sandy land. So I negotiated with the government and bought them for a hectare of 1,500 yuan."

Wang Bo said admiringly: "You did it so beautifully. You bought your Alaska."

Rapeseed does not have very strict requirements on soil. In various soils such as sandy soil, clay, red and yellow loam, high yields can be achieved as long as the correct cultivation methods and reasonable cultivation techniques are adopted.

This topic obviously made Christine feel a little proud, and he said, "Thank you, it's true, but they don't have many crops to grow. I chose mustard-type rapeseed, so there are still some harvests."

Mustard rape has a strong root system, strong drought tolerance, and can be cultivated under conditions of poor soil fertility and arid climate. In northwestern China, such as Gansu and Qinghai, there are places to grow this rapeseed.

Wang Bo asked: "Aren't you planning to harvest these rapeseeds? I think they are already cooked."

Christine said: "It's been happening these two days. The weather is better recently. You know, I hope to choose a continuous and sunny weather to harvest rapeseed."
