"Shaw, my brother James runs a farm in Virginia," Hadden explained

"Ah? Farm? " Xiao Peng asked curiously, "that's very good! What kind of farm is it about? "

James sighed, "I'm a soybean grower."

Xiao Peng understood in a moment: "well, please forgive me."

James said with a wry smile, "Xiao, you really can't comfort people."

Xiao Peng nodded: "many people say so."

Who is the most miserable country now? It has to be the farmers of StarCraft.

It is said that xingtiao is a powerful country in the world economy and science and technology. However, their agriculture is the most outstanding. Their grain export accounts for half of the world's grain export!

There are only six million farmers in their country, but they can produce livestock products and other agricultural products with the largest quantity, the most abundant varieties and the best quality in the world under the condition of strict implementation of fallow and production restriction, and they are sold all over the world with low cost and low price.

Therefore, many so-called "high-tech" and "insightful people" in China are advocating that China should give up its main grain autonomy and directly import grain from xingtiao.

Fortunately, it is not these stupid X that govern the country, otherwise China will have destroyed the country......

There is a reason why the agriculture of xingtiao country is developed.

First of all, they are truly vast and abundant, not like China, where are the vast deserts and the xingtiao kingdom? Almost all areas are suitable for agriculture. Even in the western desert area, it is also very suitable for the development of animal husbandry and irrigation agriculture. Although there is less rainfall, it can't hold people and there are many rivers.

In addition, agricultural science and technology is too developed. The whole country has four major research centers, more than 130 agricultural colleges, 56 state-level agricultural experimental stations, more than 3300 regional agricultural extension stations and agricultural extension institutions, more than 60 forestry colleges, nearly 30 veterinary colleges, and unclear R & D personnel.

These people don't live on dry rice. All kinds of research and development of agricultural science and technology have been carried out for a long time in xingtiao state farm. For example, animal products have been mechanized and automated. There are feed grinders for feed, milking machines for milking, and complete sets of machinery and equipment for milk preservation and processing. Many agricultural products can be processed automatically by pressing a button.

Such large-scale mechanical production has also greatly improved their agricultural production efficiency. At present, on average, one labor force can take care of 450 acres of land, or 60000 chickens, 5000 cattle......

Of course, the agricultural scale of xingtiao country is large enough, but it can not be imitated by the whole world.

The first is the problem of energy consumption. The agricultural development in xingtiao depends on mechanical operation. This is very big for energy consumption, if the world follows the pattern of their country's agricultural production? So more than half of the world's energy (oil, electricity) will be used in agriculture!

Secondly, there are pollution problems, such as pesticide, fertilizer, straw, etc. the problems faced by Chinese agriculture are almost all in xingtiao country, and there are more problems than those in our country. For example, Sudan red and other additives which are discolored in China are normal additives that are legally used......

What's more, they're developing genetically modified foods for export. For example, almost all the soybean imported from China is genetically modified.

What's more, even if China can develop agriculture in the same way as xingtiao, it will not do so. If it does, a large number of agricultural population will be surplus, how will they live? If it is not handled properly, social problems may arise.

However, at this stage, it is not too late to say that the Agricultural Winter in xingtiao is too long. In one year, more than 100 farms in xingtiao country went bankrupt.

The trigger for all this was the trade war initiated by AP in April last year. Huaxia's counter measure was to stop importing agricultural products such as soybean from xingtiao country.

It's true that starstrip is the world's largest soybean producer, but don't forget that Huaxia is the world's largest soybean importer.

There are many countries that sell soybeans, but not many countries that buy soybeans. It is no exaggeration to say that the soybean imports of all countries in the world are not as many as those of China. If China does not buy the soybeans of xingtiao countries, who will their soybeans be sold to?

Now, the most miserable farmers in xingtiao are soybean farmers, followed by pork farmers - their main customers are Huaxia.

James is a soybean farmer. Can he have a good time?

James looked at Xiao Peng with an aggrieved face: "Xiao, why do you Chinese fight back. Don't you know that this will do serious harm to your country? "

Xiao Peng shrugged and said, "Hello, what do you mean? Are you allowed to do it, and we are not allowed to fight back? Besides, you really don't have to worry about us. You criticize the regime of our country all day long. However, at such a time, we can see the advantages of a country like ours. No matter what the trade war is like, our country's first consideration is to maintain stability. Therefore, this trade war basically has no impact on ordinary Chinese people! ""Xiao, as far as I know, your king salmon is also exported to xingtiao country. Are you not affected?" James asked curiously.

Xiao Peng shrugged: "what influence do I have? At most, the increase in tariff will make the price of my king salmon even higher. However, the price of the king salmon produced by our fishing ground is very high. They can afford to increase the tax and reduce the tax if they can't afford it. Those stupid people in your country, it is only the people in your country who are harmed by the increase of tariff. "

James sighed, "and we are the farmers."

Xiao Peng blinked: "as far as I know, at the beginning of the trade war, AP said that he would spend 15 billion US dollars to subsidize agriculture, purchase soybeans and help the poor for humanitarian aid?"

James said that a year ago, but now there is no news. At that time, he also said that the trade war with China would be resolved in a few months. What was the result? A few days ago, he went to Huaxia to do something! Over the past year, I have been calling the arc of the Ministry of agriculture, and there has been saying: funding is going through the process, and it will be sent to me before. What is the result? This more than a year, soybeans or eight U.S. gold a bushel, which still let people live? Damn it, when he came to the stage to vote for his support, the farmers in xingtiao country were the most. As a result, that's how he treated his supporters? "

Bushel is a unit of measurement of agricultural products, similar to our country's "dou", is a unit of measurement of capacity. They are all bushels, and the measurement of bushels in different countries is not the same. There are British bushels and star bushels. This unit of measurement can only be used for volume measurement of solid matter.

Moreover, the weight of a bushel of different agricultural products is also different. A bushel of cotton seed weighs 32 pounds; corn weighs 56 pounds; peanut kernels in Virginia weigh 17 pounds, while those in Spain weigh 25 pounds, a unit of measurement used in industry statistics.

Xiao Peng calculated that a bushel of soybeans is 60 pounds, or more than 27 kilograms. It's 30 cents a kilogram, a yuan, a kilogram.

No wonder the farmers in xingtiao country cried to death. This price is a sure way to make a loss, right?

James complained: "the current situation is that the price of soybeans has been unable to rise, we have no income, we want to go to the bank to borrow loans can not borrow. More than 100 farms have closed down. How can we continue to work on farms and make production plans? The president tells us to wait for the result every day, but how can we wait? What do we plant next time? This must be prepared a quarter in advance

Xiao Peng said with a smile, "do you continue to grow soybeans?"

After hearing this, James said bitterly, "Xiao, don't you say that? This is not the time to joke. Do you know how risky it is to grow soybeans? It's hard to survive growing soybeans now! I'm going to switch to big hemp now. But damn it, my farm is in Virginia! It's against the law to grow hemp there

Xiao Peng stopped smiling: "so you mean to do fishing, right?"

James nodded desperately.

Xiao Peng said, "I can say that if you want to engage in ocean fishing? Then I advise you to give up. Let's not say how much it costs to buy a fishing boat. Even if I give you a fishing boat for nothing, you may not be able to maintain it. Do you know how much it costs to repair the ship? How much does the oil cost? How much does personnel cost? How much is the bait? How much do you want to spend on fishing? The income of a fishing boat is inseparable from the captain's experience, but no matter how good a captain is, he can't guarantee that he will return with full load every time. Besides, even if you find the best captain, I still don't recommend you to engage in ocean fishing. "

"Why?" James asked curiously.

Xiao Peng clapped his hands and said, "because you can't compete with Chinese fishing boats! You won't understand the Chinese people's desire for money. There are hundreds of fishing boats sailing from China all the way across half the world to the waters of Chile! Can you come out? Chinese fishing boats work 24 hours a day. Do you think you can find such a good fisherman? If you can't find it, can you compete with the Chinese ocean going fishing boats? "

James was stunned and thought for half a day and shook his head dejectedly: "well, you're right. I can't do anything now. "

"James, you can't be depressed. People who are better than you work harder than you. What reason do you have to give up?"

James said with a bitter face: "yes, people who are better than me work so hard. What's the use of my efforts?"

Xiao Peng said: "in fact, if you want to make money, the way is not without

"Well?" The two harden brothers looked at Xiao Peng together.

"James, have a good drink with me, and I'll show you the way!"

"Are you sure you want to drink with me? I'm from Virginia
