Chapter 88: Two Little Ranch

There were a total of 19 workers. Chen Mo briefly interviewed them and signed a temporary employment contract.

Temporary workers on California farms receive lower wages than workers in Montana. Most of the temporary workers here are illegal immigrants, and many of them have no skills...

Chen Mo is looking for employees with many years of working experience in farms and pastures. Two of them also have veterinarian licenses, 6 of them are junior veterinarians, and others have other licenses. Although it is a temporary employment contract, the salary given to them is the salary of a regular employee.

The semi-monthly salary is US$2,650 (before tax). After three months, the workers will have to buy family medical insurance, accident insurance, unemployment insurance, etc.

During the temporary employment period, if employees perform poorly or based on the needs of the ranch, these people can be fired directly.

A monthly salary of more than 5,000 is a high salary, especially for farm and ranch employees. But there is nothing you can do about it...

In Montana, you can find regular employees with a monthly salary of about 2,000 yuan. For skilled employees, except those with veterinary licenses, a monthly salary of about 3,000 yuan is almost enough.

Not in California...

Illegal labor in California's farms and ranches is cheap, and workers without any skills are also cheap.

The location of River Valley Ranch is too remote, and it is not easy to find workers near the ranch...

If you want cheap workers, you can only find rogue intermediaries. Chen Mo is new here, and this time he has a relatively high positioning on the ranch. He is directly eyeing the top beef market and mutton market, looking for highly professional and reliable workers. And these workers

You still have to live on a ranch, or live near a ranch.

Americans, those who are not married are free to play, and most of them are very open-minded. After getting married, especially when they have children, everyone attaches great importance to family... Basically, wherever people work, their families will move there. If you don't have a high salary, you can't find it.

Reliable worker.

"Boss, what's our current job?" John said when he saw everyone signed the contract.

"Don't worry, let's take a look at the work place." Chen Mo picked up the little Loli, sat in John's car, and went to Moon Valley first.

There are dozens of large and small valleys in the pasture mountainous area, all with slightly flat land, ranging from a few acres to dozens of acres.

Moon Valley is shaped like a crescent moon and has more than 20 acres of flat land. It is considered a large valley.

There is a small ranch built here, with three workers' houses, a cowshed for 200 cows, and planned cowsheds.

Those who graze cattle in the cattle pen area have grass that is up to their ankles. The cattle pen area here is different from the cattle pen area in the large pasture... The cattle pen area in the large pasture is like the cattle pen area in the Snow Mountain Pasture. It takes most of the year to drive the cattle there.

The cattle pen area here is mainly a place for cattle activities. It has 20 acres and is divided into four areas. Each cattle pen has a cattle pen area, and each cattle pen can only raise 50 cows. It is a small and exquisite breeding.

"This is Moon Valley Ranch, part of River Valley Ranch. Moon Valley Ranch also needs two warehouses, one machinery warehouse and one grain warehouse. In addition, how to deal with the cow dung in the pasture? I hope to have a clean and tidy environment. I don't want to

It stinks as soon as you come in..."

“Are you planning to raise Wagyu beef?”

Chen Mo nodded: "Part of the wagyu. By the way, you are all from San Joaquin?"

"Yes."

San Joaquin is in the Central Valley. Valley Ranch is fifty or sixty kilometers away from San Joaquin in the Central Valley. This is a straight-line distance... If there is a straight-line highway directly to San Joaquin, fifty or sixty kilometers is not too far. You can drive there. It can be done after get off work.

Average commute time in California (one way): 27 minutes.

Commuting time of more than 60 minutes: 1.54 million people (9.9%)

Areas with longer commute times: Areas with average one-way commute times above 50 minutes include parts of Los Angeles, Butte and Madera counties...

If there is a direct highway, the one-way commute time of 50 to 60 kilometers is acceptable to many people. The problem is that there is no direct highway. The two closest roads to the Central Valley are about 130 kilometers from Valley Ranch to San Joaquin. Two roads

It’s almost the same distance…

"There are currently 13 workers' houses in the ranch." These 13 workers' houses do not include the farmer's houses...

"Each workers' house has two bedrooms as standard, and there are a few houses with three bedrooms. You are responsible for arranging the house allocation...so that everyone has a place to stay at night."

"Okay. But we are not ready to live yet. Can we allocate accommodation and wait until we come tomorrow? Let's first understand the future work and the main tasks that each of us will be responsible for, and then we can arrange a place to live."

"OK."

There is a small town on the north side of the Dalei Valley Ranch.

It's a very small town, with only a few families living there, and a gas station... The gas station also sells some things.

The town is very large. There are dozens of households in the whole town, with a population of more than 100. Each of them lives in a very remote place...

Due to the environment in Montana, especially in remote areas, it is common for low-income people to live in their employers' homes. In California, most employers do not provide housing unless in very remote places.

As long as their jobs are stable, most of the families of River Valley Ranch employees will move to new homes with their jobs. And it is not easy to settle here...

Chen Mo took people to Shanxi Valley again, a long and narrow valley. There is also a pasture here with cattle sheds and cattle pens that can raise more than a hundred cattle.

In the entire river valley pasture, the existing cowsheds can only raise 335 cows. The Moon Valley can raise 200 cows, and the small valley can raise 135 cows... The cowshed buildings and mu fence facilities are relatively luxurious and artistic.

This... is pretty much the overview of River Valley Ranch.

Now, River Valley Ranch needs one or two large breeding areas to raise breeding cattle.

At least 900 Bright cattle should be purchased, and other cattle breeds should be purchased. Such a large-scale breeding area can only be built in the Delai Valley, or the valley where Chen Mo's villa is located...

Chen Mo wants to develop a high-quality ranch. The environment is very important and he will live here. If the breeding area is built here, it will look too out of place. It will be built somewhere else. Now he is interested in St. Beni Small Farm.

The town's Moro Valley Ranch and Belk Ranch have relatively complete facilities. At least 900 Bright cattle can be directly herded in after being purchased...

After showing John and his group the general situation of the ranch, Chen Mo asked the 19 new employees to go back first and prepare to come to work officially tomorrow. Then he took John to the Moro Valley in the small town of St. Beni to see the Moro Valley.

Ranch and Belk Ranch.

These two ranches are concentrated breeding ranches, each with a breeding scale of more than 1,000 head, but the ranch area is small. The Moro River Ranch has an area of ​​750 acres, and the Belk Ranch has an area of ​​900 acres. Both ranches have

Raising too many cattle has polluted the environment, and we have been in trouble with the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). Now we are still burdened with huge fines and have no ability to repay them.

The town of San Beni is a mountainous pastoral area, with dozens of households and dozens of ranches. There are many ranches in this town that are larger than Moro River Ranch and Belk Ranch. The reason why Chen Mo targeted these two ranches was

I saw on the community website that they were fined. Secondly, they are close to the valley pasture, just behind the hills to the west of the Terai Valley. The straight-line distance is less than 4 kilometers. If you take the road, it is only six or seven kilometers in a roundabout way.

Chen Mo told John about the future planning and development of River Valley Ranch: "What do you think?"

"I think..." John wanted to say, 'I think you are too rich,' and said with a smile: "Very good, it should be developed into a good holiday ranch."
