'Milk' of alfalfa treatment Source: i dark horse Author: @ Shi Xiangyu REVIEW] [i dark horse in a pasture rapid growth path of the company, it reflects the 'milk' the real reason. 2008 'milk scandal' the most severe punishment to a melamine 'protein powder' and a maker added melamine in raw milk traders, who were sentenced to death; Sanlu Group, Tian Wenhua, the former chairman was sentenced to life imprisonment. In the latter part of the investigation, including Mengniu, Yili, including 22 infants dairy products manufacturer of multiple batches are detected melamine. So much evil, bear a few people lack. Before the outbreak, China has just spent the past 10 years to make the milk production increased 10-fold, to become the world's third-largest dairy state, after the United States, India. 'Why add melamine to milk? Not because of the low protein content of it!' Beijing green countryside ecological agriculture Corporation (hereinafter referred to Produce Green) chairman 张仁武 he said. In the United States, the preferred feed alfalfa.
It is known as the 'king of grass', hay protein content of 22%. Moreover, the production of the same amount of feed protein, alfalfa save more than half of the arable land than food crops. It can improve milk production. China Dairy Industry Association data show that cows fed corn silage annual milk yield of 5 to 7 tons of alfalfa to feed up to 8 to 10 tons. Beijing Sanyuan Group Director Joe Green Cow center said their cows average annual production even reached 10.95 tons. Zhang alfalfa industry has been involved in 15 years. The late 1990s, the central encourage Reforestation, Changping zoning out over 100 acres of land to grow alfalfa, but the production of alfalfa unsalable at the edge. Xiaotangshan Modern Agricultural Science and Technology Demonstration Park and local CST invite Zhang Renwu to solve problems. Zhang demonstration garden was established in the green countryside this company to experience their own processing corn stalks, alfalfa develop deep-processing equipment. Alfalfa grass is processed into granules, for easy storage and transportation. Produce Green alfalfa grass particles have not been widely welcomed in the country, when the dairy farmers awareness is still relatively backward, the company more customers from South Korea, the Middle East and other places. In 2003, Zhang Renwu set up foreign trade companies to export fodder, company size has doubled every year. In this case, to state-owned enterprises as a leader of a group of companies to enter the alfalfa industry. But the policy has changed. In 2004, the central 'Document' stressed that 'to ensure national food security,' began the nationwide promotion of food subsidy policy. Planting alfalfa without any subsidies, benefits significantly lower than grow food. Sharply reduce China's alfalfa acreage. Hengdian Group, Shandong, Beijing Holborn, Beijing gold alfalfa industry and a number of companies tears to tiara wigs have closed down or stop production. This also leads to a paradox of China's dairy industry as a whole fall. Zhang Renwu ahead of policy-sensitive large accumulation of alfalfa, almost 'only child' survived. The rapid decline of market supply led to higher prices, green countryside to achieve the company's highest ever profit in 2006, Zhang Renwu become China's 'king of grass.' Zhang Renwu a little too happy, grass shortage has become a source of heart disease. In 2007, the Department of Biology, Shandong University, 87th class reunion, he met then slept on bunk beds, had moved to the United States Shao Wen, the United States learned that thousands of tons of annual production of alfalfa, accounting for one third of global production, from breeding, planting to processing, storage, has a mature technology and service, the same quality of alfalfa price is much cheaper than China. Zhang began pondering the US alfalfa shipped to China. He set up a company called Green Garden International in the United States, responsible for managing Shao Wen. This time from the 'milk' incident broke out there a year. One side is the increasing market demand, one side is severely deformed industrial structure, add to milk the various so-called 'thickening' is not new. During the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, a container filled with alfalfa United States arrived in Tianjin Port. Because of the special period can not clearance, Zhang Renwu lost 5,6 million, but one from the United States to China's alfalfa trade chain has been clearly presented in front of us. After the 'milk' Domestic demand for alfalfa prove the relationship between the two. Many foreign trade companies involved in the import business alfalfa, fanatical Chinese buyer of US farmers are confused by the sudden, alfalfa price from $ 190 per ton in early 2009 rose to the highest level in 2011 of $ 560 per tonne in the second half, China imports from the United States by 2008, 18,000 tons at the end of 2012 rose to 400,000 tons.
Prior to 2011, 张仁武 share for one-third of the Chinese imports in alfalfa, but he can not control the prices of imports. After field investigation, Zhang found that US farmers export one ton of alfalfa profits of up to $ 200. He made a movement in the United States acquired the farm's mind, four side note, one side realtor to find. March 2011, Zhang Renwu get the message: aski Randy farm might sell. The farm is located at the junction of Utah and Colorado, backed by the United States National Dinosaur Fossil Park, about 300 miles away from Salt Lake City. Where annual precipitation is about 200 ml, the largest river in the western United States - Green River along the boundary of the farm will hold its three sides, to create the best conditions for alfalfa growing: drought, irrigation facilities. Farm owner Sander to repay bank loans, to sell the farm. Before officially announced the sale of the farm, Zhang Renwu several trips to visit. Judging from satellite images, 17 area ranging from the giant circle scattered scattered on the farm. This is one of the agricultural history of America's greatest inventions: efficient, powerful center central irrigation system. This irrigation system and even the California Central Valley from the barren desert into the United States to provide fertile ground for half the fruit and nuts. Randy aski alfalfa farm acreage 3850 acres, by three water stations in the Green River water into the sprinkler connection pipe 17 laps; a control center for the collection of air humidity, precipitation and other information, to issue the corresponding sprinkler instruction; Wi- Fi signal coverage farm body, real-time monitoring pasture growth conditions. After mature forage harvesting, drying, bundling all mechanized operations. Dependent on highly automated and mechanized facilities alone three workers and one administrative staff put the whole farm are well-kept. Farm crop harvested each year, producing 25,000 ~ 30,000 tons of grass. The same area of the farm, in China needs at least 200 employees. Due to backward technology, domestic alfalfa forage harvesting stage in severe loss of nutrients. 'The gap between China and the United States of modern agriculture is 100 years!' Zhang Renwu emotion. Zhang got his wish to become the owner of the farm Randy Eske. In 2003, Sander spent $ 25 million bought aski Randy farm, the valuation of the deal when a third party is given $ 36 million, the farm has a US scrapped princess cosplay bank Green River 40 cubic feet / second of water right valuation is $ 100 million. Despite the competition, the final purchase price of the green countryside just $ 10 million - in cash to make it stand out. Zhangren Wu did not buy success in any form of celebration. His next step is to continue to buy the farm, so that the amount of annual grass 150,000 to 25 million tons; while in neighboring farms acquired 150,000 to 200,000 tons, the company's exports to China reached 300,000 per year to 50 tons. 'This way, I have a right to speak.' I have a new policy. In early 2012, the central document decided to start the implementation of the 'revitalization of dairy alfalfa development initiatives', the central government allocated 525 million yuan every year to promote the construction of high yield alfalfa base.
Zhang's concern is:. 'Domestic alfalfa industry is very backward, the fundamental reason lies Cosplay Costumes in the production of private ownership of land fragmentation makes the United States a large-scale, long-term infrastructure investments possible, the domestic need to acquire large tracts of land to farmers to lease more than one, if someone go back initial investment must make sense.
