I have a wildlife zoo

Chapter 435 Registration for Farming

Linhai Zoo enthusiasts group.

Daigo shared an article from the official account to the group, "Brothers, the zoo has a new event! Anyone wants to sign up for farming? It looks really interesting!"

Lin Hao: "Shocked, you can farm at the zoo?"

Chunyu Jiangshanglai: "Daigo, you should read more carefully. This registration is limited to those under 18."

Dirty Hollywood Night: "Speaking of which, I farmed when I was a kid! When I went to play at my grandma's house in the countryside, I got to hoe a few rows in the cornfield and watered a bit, it was actually pretty fun."

Daigo: "Hehe, I didn't notice the age limit. But there's also a cherry blossom viewing event! Anyone interested in seeing the cherry blossoms?"

Lili: "I'm in, I want to go see the cherry blossoms."

...

At Tang Xiaoxin's home.

Mother Tang and Father Tang were sitting in front of the sofa watching TV.

Father Tang inwardly grumbled, "Is this person a man or a woman, why do they look like a little girl. Reading lines without any emotion, their acting is even worse than Pleasant Goat's."

However, Mother Tang seemed quite engrossed.

During the commercials, Father Tang took out his phone to look, and suddenly saw an updated article from Linhai Zoo's official account.

Farming?

A touch of nostalgia appeared in his eyes.

He had grown up in the countryside, and every summer vacation and weekend he would help his parents with farming tasks as much as he could.

In the summer, he would go down to the fields to harvest wheat, while the noisy cicadas chirped in the trees, and the sunshine blazed on his back!

Although it was hard work, it also helped build a strong and independent character.

Snapping back to reality, he nudged Mother Tang, "Hey, look at this!"

Mother Tang glanced at the article, "What's up? Oh, you can sign up to farm at the zoo?"

Father Tang said, "I think this is quite meaningful! It allows children to understand how crops are grown and working in the field can also be good exercise."

Mother Tang hesitated, "But won't it interfere with studying?"

Father Tang laughed, "Has our child ever neglected studying? Whenever there's free time, off to the zoo to play."

After thinking for a while, he added, "Exercising and engaging in some labor can improve physical health and help them appreciate the hard-won comforts of modern life, which in turn can enhance their studies, right?"

Mother Tang was persuaded, "That makes sense."

She called out, "Xiaoxin!"

Tang Xiaoxin was doing homework and ran out from the bedroom in her slippers, asking puzzledly, "What's up?"@@@@

"awesome"

"If there had been a zoo like this near my home when I was a child, I might have become a biologist by now."

"This is great! It can help cultivate the idea in children not to waste food."

Retired army guy, "I used to work at a compound fertilizer plant and had a lot of interest in planting techniques, often consulting vegetable farmers.

They taught me the essentials of applying pesticides and fertilizers, which I still remember vividly.

Lettuce and bok choy that can be harvested in a month, fertilized every 3 days with compound fertilizer, and treated in 7 days with pesticides to prevent diseases and pests,

The land I saw was basically in a state of severe compaction.

Without farming like this, vegetables don't grow quickly; the more you farm this way, the worse the soil compaction becomes. It's a vicious cycle.

For rice, within its four-month growth cycle, it needs 7-9 applications of pesticide and 2-4 applications of fertilizer. For a high yield, a single acre can receive up to more than 100 pounds of fertilizer.

With so much fertilizer and pesticide going into the ground, can the vegetables and rice produced be healthy for the body?

Over time, it also causes significant pollution to the soil and water sources."

"With a name like that, you can tell he knows his farming."

Retired army guy, "Indeed, I am farming on my own. Although the yield is a bit less, the food grown is reassuring to eat."

He is someone who is very interested and idealistic about farming!

After accumulating some wealth, he set up an organic farm.

After much hard work, he grew high-quality rice and vegetables.

But without marketing and sales channels, consumers didn't recognize it; they'd question what's so good about your stuff and why it's so expensive.

To most people, food is just food.

Without fertilizers and pesticides, the yield is low! It has to be sold at a higher price to make a profit.

The organic farm suffered losses year after year, and it eventually closed.

Retired army guy kept a plot of land, not making much money, but achieving self-sufficiency and thus realizing half of his dream.

Hearing about ecological agriculture, he couldn't help but sigh.

Fang Ye said, "It's not just the impact on the soil, every year many birds die because they eat seeds sprayed with pesticides..."

It's like a fierce drug that in a short time stimulates potential but causes harm to organs and the body, and can even lead to dependence.

But running every day, maintaining a regular routine, you won't see any effect immediately, and few people have the perseverance to keep at it, yet the long-term benefits are clear.

Talking with netizens, before he knew it, Fang Ye had arrived at the animal hospital.
