In the tin house office, Brett poked his head out from upstairs and shouted.
The construction of the Yunshan Ranch office building was planned, but now there is no money, so it has been put on hold.
Chen Mo looked up, waved and entered the office.
Bright came here to sign a contract for 500,000 tons of corn, and also signed a feed purchase contract.
Due to the trade friction between China and the United States, American farmers have reduced their corn cultivation, resulting in high corn prices. The domestic corn price has basically reached 1,840 yuan per ton, not including transportation fees.
Bright's extra 500,000 tons of corn belongs to the River Valley Animal Husbandry Company. It was a futures contract bought last year. The price at that time was relatively cheap. Now it is sold to Chen Mo for 1,825 yuan per ton, including transportation fees. This is definitely
There are some additional terms.
River Valley Animal Husbandry Company has built 30 breeding buildings here. This is the first phase of the project, all of which are breeding buildings. Sow feed and ewe feed require different feeds at different times, and they must be mixed and matched to create maximum value.
"Boss, this is a 500,000-ton corn contract. If you are sure you want it, it can be delivered by the end of the month." Bright handed over the contract.
Chen Mo looked at the contract and signed it: "Aren't you here specifically for 500,000 tons of corn?"
"Of course there is also the matter of feed procurement. The price quoted for sow feed is too expensive, can it be made cheaper?"
Pregnancy feed, lactation sow feed, and daily feed for sows are all different. But no matter what, the price of feed for sows is more expensive than that of pigs...
The price of feed is also based on the price of the same type of feed in China. It is cheaper because the valley pasture can produce high-protein forage... Protein is divided into crude protein and protein. Sweet elephant grass grown for 2025 days has high crude protein and grows for about 30 days.
Alfalfa grass has high protein content.
For sow feed, these two kinds of grass must be used together. And to make the feed, corn is also needed... No matter how the ratio is used, a ton of sow feed during pregnancy requires about 50% of corn. The sugar content of corn
At about seventy-three percent (carbohydrates, sugars, and sugars differ).
"The feed for sows during pregnancy is 3,300 yuan per ton, which is already a very low price." Chen Mo shook his head. The cost of feed for sows during pregnancy is close to 1,700 yuan per ton.
Brett took out a file and opened it: "The sweet elephant grass you dried yesterday contains a high sugar content in the straw. If the leaves and straw can be separated during the harvesting process, and the straw can be processed separately, it can be made into high-energy roughage.
Experimental data from a Brazilian farm show that replacing 50% of corn in fattening pigs' diets with sugarcane juice will not reduce the growth rate of fattening pigs... Sweet elephant grass contains less sugar than sugarcane, but it will not
Less is more than more.”
Chen Mo glanced at Kang Si, who nodded: "The test data of sweet elephant grass in Valley Ranch shows that the sugar content of 100-day sweet elephant grass is as high as 1820%. It is similar to the sugar content of sugar cane. It can be used as
It is used as high-energy roughage for fattening. If the sugar content does not decay during subsequent harvests, it can always maintain this value, and it is also quite good for sugar extraction."
"That's because of the environment of the Valley Pasture. In the Valley Pasture, sweet elephant grass is planted in the Calabash Valley. The temperature difference between day and night in the Calabash Valley is large, and a lot of sugar is accumulated. But here, the temperature difference between day and night is relatively smaller, and the sweet elephant grass accumulates sugar.
The speed is also slow. The sugar content in the sweet elephant grass straw dried yesterday was only about 12%." Kang Si said.
Brett touched his chin and thought for a few seconds: "12% is enough. That's sweet elephant grass that has been planted for 60 days. If it is 100 days, the sugar content should be about 15%.
I wonder if there can be one more process before sweet elephant grass enters the drying tower. The juice and sugar of sweet elephant grass are squeezed out. The squeezed juice can be made into sugar nutrition, and the squeezed straw can be used as roughage... and then through the proportioning
It is made into energy feed and used for fattening. In this way, a lot of corn can be saved, and the feed cost and price will naturally be reduced a lot."
Yunshan Ranch will plant sweet elephant grass in a large area. Sweet elephant grass is mainly used as dry storage feed. In fact, the sugar in sweet elephant grass is not wasted.
Squeezing out some of the sugar before drying the sweet elephant grass can make the best use of the sweet elephant grass, but in this way, the Yunshan Feed Factory has more work. But it also has the advantage that it can reduce the amount of ryegrass planted and increase the amount of ryegrass planted.
Plant some sweet elephant grass and alfalfa…
"Try it first."
Coming back to feed, sow feed is all concentrated feed and the price is relatively expensive.
Not to mention the lowest price in the country for feed with similar proportions, but in South Island, you probably can’t buy cheaper feed than this.
"It's too expensive. Pregnancy feed costs 2,800 yuan per ton," Bright said.
He knows that the approximate production cost of this feed is definitely no more than 2,000 yuan per ton. If it is sold for 2,800 yuan per ton, it is very profitable.
"You think you can bargain at any price when buying vegetables at the wet market." Chen Mo rolled his eyes.
"Pregnancy feed is 2,500 yuan per ton, lactation feed is 2,800 yuan per ton, and ordinary sow feed is 1,200 yuan per ton." Bright looked at Chen Mo: "Boss, you are the major shareholder of River Valley Animal Husbandry."
"Pregnancy feed is 3,000 yuan per ton, lactation feed is 3,100 yuan per ton. Ordinary sow feed is 1,500 yuan per ton. This is the price set early in the morning and will not change. At most... I will allow you to pay on credit first." Chen Mo's mouth twitched.
Raising sows is very profitable. During the raising process, in addition to sow feed, roughage is also added. According to the current quotation, the feed cost of a sow per year is up to about 2,500 yuan.
The cost of raising sows in other farms is about 2,800 yuan in feed costs per year.
"Accounting on credit...means you can settle the bill after production is achieved?"
"Settlement after output, or settlement every six months."
Brett rolled his eyes a few times: "Okay. Well... we can really study the use of sweet elephant grass straw to make high-energy feed."
Hehehe Animal Husbandry has built 30 breeding buildings, 15 buildings for raising pigs, and 15 buildings for raising sheep.
Each building houses 5,000 breeding pigs and 7,000 breeding sheep.
Breeding pigs need good feed, but sheep do not need particularly good feed. A mixture of green storage and dry storage feed will be enough.
The breeding pigs in the breeding building are moving into the breeding building one after another, and they consume nearly 200 million in feed money a year. I won’t talk about this year. Next year, they plan to sell 1.5 million suckling pigs from the breeding building. If they can achieve this goal
, they will be able to recoup their investment in the breeding building next year... Of course, this is just a plan, and it is hard to say whether there will be any specific changes.
Sign corn purchase contract and feed purchase contract...
Bright said: "Boss, isn't Yunshan District planning to build a livestock futures trading center? Why hasn't it started yet? River Valley Animal Husbandry is facing financial pressure."
Yunshan Trading Center has live pig futures contracts, live cattle futures contracts, live sheep futures contracts, and various meat product futures contracts.
If the trading center is operational, companies like Hehehe Animal Husbandry can now buy and sell piglets. The futures contract here is a physical delivery contract. Physical delivery will be carried out as soon as the time of the futures contract is up... You can also buy and sell at the intermediate time.
But there is no leverage.
The greatest significance of futures is to use trading systems such as open market bidding transactions to form a market price that reflects market supply and demand. At the same time, it can also reduce the risks of farmers...
Coconut State City has a plan to establish this trading center, but I don’t know how long it will take for it to be implemented.
