Chapter 113 Investigation of Alfalfa No. 1Jiahe Group did not deliberately promote it, but it used practical actions to win the recognition of growers and local governments. The social influence is expanding little by little. Senior officials of the Ministry of Agriculture have also noticed Jiahe’s recent frequent actions. First, he accurately predicted the changes in the soybean futures market, and the amount of funds that could be traced in the domestic futures market exceeded million yuan. Subsequently, Jiahe Agricultural Group Corporation was established. Of the million yuan, at least 4 million yuan was invested in several of its subsidiaries. First, it acquired Shandong Fengkai Agricultural Machinery with full capital, and the Northwest Factory has also been selected for establishment; It also made efforts in the field of deep processing of peppers, and the pepper factory was transformed into a biotechnology company; It was originally thought that the sand control project, which was facing financial difficulties, would slow down its progress, but with the injection of new funds, acres of desert no longer seemed to satisfy the appetite. The management of degraded grasslands in alfalfa farming and animal husbandry is also in a tight order.
But what interests the Ministry of Agriculture most is the results of the management of 200,000 acres of saline-alkali land! "This kid is really capable of making trouble. However, he is a young man with a vision!" After learning about the development trajectory of Jiahe Group, Minister Lin, with his sharp eyebrows and sharp eyes, couldn't help but sigh. "Now we don't have to worry about Muhe going bankrupt!" Zhang Jianjun, who was sitting on the sofa, smiled and said, "Guo Yang is very cunning. He was eyeing me when I was at the Hannover Agricultural Machinery Exhibition." "Ok?" Zhang Jianjun said unhappily, "This guy has been eyeing the agricultural machinery purchase subsidy for a long time. Jiahe just acquired Fengkai agricultural machinery, and he came to ask me when the agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy will be released and what categories will be included. He said he wanted to do research and development!" "This is a good thing. The policy was originally planned to be released this year, so there is no harm in telling him in advance." "I told him to go on his own. Don't bother me with this little shit." "Hahaha……" Minister Lin laughed for a while before saying seriously: "How is Alfalfa Farming and Animal Husbandry's saline-alkali land management going? Can its super alfalfa really control salinity?" "Minister Forestry, I'm really not sure about this. I'll ask someone from the Animal Husbandry Department to come over." "Row." Zhang Jianjun made a phone call and explained the reason. Not long after, Director Chen from the Animal Husbandry Bureau arrived. Unexpectedly, Professor Su Guozhou from the Grassland Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences also followed. "Professor Su is here too?" Director Chen smiled and said: "Huamu No. 1 cultivated by Professor Su has passed the production test and grows well on coastal saline-alkali land. We are currently considering promoting it." Minister Chen said with a smile: "Congratulations, Professor Su."
Su Guozhou also responded with a smile, but it was a forced smile. When I was reporting this matter to Director Chen, I happened to hear Minister Lin asking about the situation of saline-alkali land management in Long Province. Thinking of the super alfalfa mentioned by that arrogant young man, Su Guozhou felt like a thorn in his heart. Then I followed along. Minister Lin doesn't care what Professor Su thinks. To him, what interests him most is the effect of super alfalfa on improving saline-alkali land. This year's soybean crisis served as a wake-up call for the ministry. What should we do if international grain traders take over staple food? If America wields the weapon of food, how should the country respond? All they can do is hoard food, hoard food, and hoard more food, until people can’t figure out the details! This is what China did in history. When the international funds came again with great force and wanted to take action on China's staple food, they were defeated by the bottomless grain reserves of the national grain reserve! However, these are all passive approaches. Expanding the area of available arable land is the most fundamental guarantee for national food security! Minister Lin then asked: "Old Chen, what is the current situation of saline-alkali land improvement in Gansu Province? Can their forage grass varieties inhibit salinity?" Director Chen of the Animal Husbandry Bureau sorted out his thoughts in his mind. "In the past two years, Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry has maintained its investment, returned green manure to the fields, and developed forage processing technology. In the past year, it has applied for a number of patents. In particular, breakthroughs have been made in hay compression technology, reducing the transportation cost of hay bales by at least 50%! ” Minister Lin nodded silently. The achievements made by Jiahe Group are obvious to all. Director Chen continued, "It is said that the improvement of saline-alkali land is also very good, but the salt-alkali tolerance of Alfalfa No. 1 has not been specifically evaluated." Su Guozhou couldn't hold it in any longer at this time and became very emotional. "Ministry of Forestry, alfalfa is indeed tolerant to salt and alkali, but it is impossible to suppress the upwelling of salt and alkali from underground!" "The so-called super alfalfa is simply a species that cannot exist!" "The alfalfa seeds from Alfalfa Farm and Livestock are definitely exaggerated!" Minister Lin's eyes were calm, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. After a moment, he said, "This matter is very important. I still need to verify it in person." "How about this, let the Planning and Design Institute send someone to Long Province again. After collecting so much design fees from others, they should provide the necessary services." "Okay, I'll communicate." At this time, Su Guozhou couldn't help but say, "I'll go to Long Province with you. The development of subsequent varieties of Huamu No. 1 will also take the Northwest region into consideration." Minister Lin nodded in agreement, saying that Su Guozhou and Muhe were always at odds with each other. If Alfalfa No. 1 can gain his approval, the time will be ripe for large-scale promotion across the country! Su Guozhou's thoughts were self-evident, he just wanted to go and see it in person. Huamu No. 1, cultivated by the team after decades of hard work, should be the top-level variety in China. In terms of salt-alkali resistance, it has been tested for thirty to forty years on coastal saline-alkali land. But even so, it is hard to say that it can improve the heavily saline-alkali land.
There is definitely some false advertising involved with Alfalfa! If possible, he would definitely uncover Muhe's false veil! Soon, the Animal Husbandry Bureau sent an expert technical team represented by Su Guozhou to Long Province, accompanied by Dr. Zhou and others from the Planning and Design Institute. Long Province also attaches great importance to it. The province, city and county all sent relevant personnel from the agricultural sector to accompany them, as well as Professor Weng Lixin, another domestic authority in the field of forage. Weng Lixin has been hired by Guo Yang as the chief technical consultant of Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry. In the field of forage, Weng Lixin and Su Guozhou are the top experts in the country. One person works at the Grassland Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and has bred forage grass varieties represented by the Huamu series. Weng Lixin is in colleges and universities, and the Longmu series of alfalfa varieties have been promoted in the northwest region over an area of more than 10 million acres. With the country's emphasis on the forage industry, both of them will have the hope of competing for academicians in the future! When the two met, Su Guozhou said without disguising, "Alfalfa No. 1 is the variety you approved. I didn't give your students a backdoor!" "You'll know once you see it for yourself." Weng Lixin smiled, not angry, and didn't want to get into a meaningless argument. People who do scientific research are very pure and speak with technology and facts. Alfalfa No. 1 will simply leave all forage grass breeders speechless! (End of this chapter)
