Chapter 472 Initial Operation of the Farm
On the vast expanse of her homeland, the once barren farmland is now gradually blossoming with life under Ye Wan's meticulous planning and direction. With the planting of seeds and the operation of the irrigation system, the first steps in the farm's operation have officially begun. Every morning, just as the sun rises over the horizon, Ye Wan stands at the edge of the field, her gaze intently surveying the land that belongs to her team. She knows that the success of the farm will determine the future of her homeland, and the starting point for all of this is the growth of each seed.
"The weather is good today, suitable for irrigation." Ye Wan stood on a path in the field, the breeze blowing her hair, the sun shining on her face, and the air was so fresh that people couldn't help but take a deep breath.
She directed her team members to carry out their daily work according to plan. Some were busy applying fertilizer and repairing irrigation equipment, while others were preparing the land, pulling weeds, and even catching insects. Everyone was busy in the fields, sweating, but every face was filled with hope and satisfaction.
Ye Wan would occasionally walk between the small plots of land, carefully checking the moisture content of the soil and confirming the health of each leaf. Her gaze was that of an experienced gardener, gently caressing each plant with concern and care.
"The soil here is a bit dry and needs some more water." She bent down, pointed to a wheat field, and gave instructions to the members nearby.
"Okay, Ye Wan, I'll go right away." Brother Li, who was in charge of irrigation, immediately turned around and led other members to the irrigation pipes to adjust the water flow.
As Ye Wan continued her inspection, she recalled the soil improvement measures she had taken a few days earlier. The soil test results provided by the system revealed a deficiency in some trace elements in the soil, which was causing the slow growth of some crops. So, following the system's recommendations, she used natural organic fertilizers and microbial agents. After several rounds of improvement, the soil finally regained its vitality.
She paused, pinched the tip of a wheat leaf, and felt a surge of joy at the vitality it brought. Even the modest changes at hand indicated that the farm would gradually see the joy of a bountiful harvest.
"Ye Wan, look at the corn in this field, it's growing very fast!" Xie Linchuan came over with a bunch of freshly picked tender grass in his hand. His steps were brisk and his eyes were shining with anticipation.
Ye Wan turned to look at him, smiled and nodded: "Yes, the corn is growing well, and we will probably be able to harvest the first batch in a few weeks."
"Sure enough, your plan has been very far-sighted from the beginning. Such results are worthy of everyone's hard work." Xie Linchuan's eyes were full of admiration. He looked at the farmland in front of him with a sense of satisfaction and relief in his eyes.
Ye Wan paused, looking at the promising field before her, and said thoughtfully, "If all goes well, our land can support the food needs of our entire home. Next, we need to continue to increase our efforts in pest control to ensure that it is not affected by adverse external factors."
"Don't worry, we have you here, and everyone will work hard." Xie Linchuan smiled and patted her shoulder to show his support.
At this moment, the rest of the team joined them, standing in the middle of the field, sharing their progress and harvests. Everyone could sense their own dedication and contribution to this land. Looking at these familiar faces, Ye Wan felt a deep warmth in her heart, knowing that this bountiful harvest wasn't just a victory for the farm itself, but also the result of the entire team's hard work.
As the farm gradually began to operate, Ye Wan began to face new challenges. Soil nutrient supply and pest and disease control became key issues for her and her team. While her extensive agricultural knowledge provided ample reference, cultivation wasn't a one-time effort. Every piece of land and every crop had its own unique requirements.
"These bugs are so terrible. They've bitten my land so hard that there's almost nothing left." Brother Li stood in front of a vegetable patch, complaining in a low voice with some annoyance.
"Yes, these bugs are not easy to eliminate. You have to be careful." Ye Wan walked over and observed the vegetables infested with pests. She touched her chin and said softly, "Go to the fields and collect some natural herbal medicines, such as neem leaves. They are effective in repelling insects. I will make some natural insecticide for everyone."
Everyone nodded and quickly set to work, preparing herbs and utensils. Ye Wan, in turn, began preparing some insect repellent recipes she had learned from the system, to minimize the impact on crops and the environment.
"Ye Wan, will this method work?" Xie Linchuan walked over and asked with a little doubt when he saw the natural herbal medicine she prepared.
"Let's give it a try. Although it's not as effective as modern pesticides, natural medicines should be able to control pests." Ye Wan explained softly, her eyes full of confidence.
With that, she led everyone in their prevention and control efforts. Although the process was tedious, everyone was fully engaged, paying attention to every detail. They knew this wasn't just for the vegetables in hand, but for the sustainable development of their entire community.
Day after day, Ye Wan led her team through the challenges of farm development. Whether it was adjusting the fertility of the soil, adjusting the irrigation system, or controlling pests and diseases, everyone was constantly learning and improving. Ye Wan, in turn, learned a great deal, especially in how to utilize systematic resources and scientific methods to optimize farm operations. She became increasingly adept at this.
"We have completed another big task." Brother Li wiped the sweat off his forehead, stood on the path in the field, looked at the lush crops in front of him, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.
"Yes, our farm is maturing little by little." Ye Wan looked at everyone with a smile, her eyes full of hope and determination.
