Magic Farmer Dara

Dara had a lot of options for the development of the farm in his head, he could use both the "point farm" method and use the options for hydroponics, drip irrigation, but in local conditions this method did not work well. He could apply the black film method, it was usually used for berries.

This method has already been successfully tested in the fields, the yield increase was actually 25 percent, but those who introduced this method spoke of the mythical 45 percent. This method had its pluses and minuses. The advantages were that less pests fell into the ground, the earth warmed up more, less water evaporated, minuses for large fields, it was difficult to remove the film, it had to be changed every 2 years. Sometimes to save money, use low-quality film material.

Although, with a copter, it was possible to reject all the usual methods of housekeeping.

Before you start planting, you need a couple of days in order to master the management of the copter. As in terms of agricultural work, and photographing his farm.

The software made it possible to process the obtained images with thematic programs for compiling soil maps of the area. Previously, it took much more time, at least 15 years, then aerial photography appeared, after space, it became easier to create such maps, but it still took time, both desk research and field research.

Checking the contour data from images on the ground, the so-called method "Supervised". For large areas, it took a lot of time, however, the time for developing and creating maps was reduced to 3-5 years. With the development of technology, programming languages ​​and software, the time to create maps has also decreased.

For example, for a small area of ​​40 ares it would take a week. Provided knowledge of how to work with thematic software for digital processing of spatial data. Yes, and modern pictures with copters for farmers would be cheaper than contacting special companies. Another 20 years ago, a single space image with a spatial resolution of 23.6 meters cost $ 600 in size 5000 square meters. km Plus software at $ 36,000, plus GIS software at $ 25,000, plus the work of the staff, it was estimated at $ 1,500 for digitization. As a result, the price of a soil card for a farmer already had a price of 55,000 dollars, which would be nonsense for farmers! They would never pay that much for a card! After 10 years, the price dropped to $ 2,500, but only large farms with annual incomes of at least $ 300,000 could agree to this.

In the country, the average salary in the capital is $ 150– $ 200, but about 400,000 people received a salary of $ 120, while in rural areas the salary barely exceeded $ 70–80. At the same time, the prices for utilities per year grew two or three times, about 40 percent of their salary was spent on them.

Having high customs duties on imported goods, prices for clothes, shoes, electronics were higher by 80 percent than in neighboring countries. Local production was not so much quality products and still the prices were quite solid. At the same time, food purchase prices were low, while retail prices were high. There were a lot of second-hand dealers, until the goods reached the buyer, he passed through three to four second-hand dealers. If, relatively speaking, the price for 1 kg of tomatoes was 9 cents that farmers sold to supermarkets, then the retail price was already 90 cents. Under such conditions, it was not profitable for farmers to have extra expenses, that is, buying a soil map for them was not a permissible luxury.

Some of the farmers used outdated technologies, the other part did little that knew about the terrain, the soil, that is, the level of knowledge of the land, which farmers had previously 30-40 years ago was only conditional 30 percent of farmers. The rest simply followed instructions, sometimes abusing the use of nitre and other fertilizers, which affected their quality.

Only the last 5-6 years ago, about 20 percent of farmers began to use relatively new agrotechnical technologies, but still they lagged behind global years by 15-20 ...

In such conditions, the creation of maps independently, by farmers who could quickly master the software at the user level and receive advice via the Internet, significantly reduced their costs, both temporary and financial.

The modern world, went away from narrow specialization, when to create some kind of technology or a finished end product, professional specialists were required, and now simple schoolchildren could easily do these technologies. The world was getting closer to people. As software fell in price, more features and capabilities appeared. The world became more visual and less abstruse than it was 50-70 years ago. Gradually disappeared caste "eggheads" they were replaced by ordinary users. At the same time, of course, the specialists of the creators, the programmers became more abrupt. But intermediaries slowly disappeared, programmers and users remained. They were the farmer.

If earlier it took at least 2-3 years to master the development and creation of digital maps, now they are at the user level, it took 1 week to get knowledge.

The world accelerated, the speeds varied, the world developed.

A copter could remove a piece of land from a height of 100 to 1000 meters. With the copter it was possible to make maps in a scale of one centimeter on a map of 500 meters, 50 meters and 2 meters.

Maps in 500 meters display data within the economic land management, different types of soil, irrigation, drainage, waterlogging, salinization.

Maps of 50 meters and 2 meters are detailed, they depict territories with soil composition by trace elements.

To create maps, a copter has different types of cameras that shoot in different regions of the spectrum, have their own filter filters. Such images and maps obtained on their basis could be sold, but in reality this is such a confusion that it is better to immediately give up on this. Since the state corporation is the corpus callosum in this market, it also issues permits with licenses for cartographic activity. Moreover, the license is issued only for one year and costs about $ 100,000, plus other permits from even steeper government structures. And it is necessary, so to create more problems for yourself, a simple farmer? The question is purely rhetorical. Copter photographs can show well the occurrence of various types of soil erosion, they can be used to determine soil moisture, humus content, soil temperature, and what microelements are missing.

Like a century ago, there is a war in this area, between those who say that you need to eat eggs from the bottom, while others argue that it is right from the top. So what came first, the egg or the chicken? Traditional cartographers say that without the old mapping methods, aerial photographs and satellite imagery are not as good, not as effective as maps, and the other side claims that maps now serve only as an additional method to refine their images.

For example, in Brazil, the direction of soil mapping of the country has been developed. Now 70 percent of its coverage has been mapped, a bit like the European program for mapping land use, soil and vegetation cover for all EU countries. In Brazil, thanks to this program, the country's soil resources were inventoried. Thanks to these data, it is possible to determine the suitability of land for agricultural use, with a choice of recommendations of which crops to use for certain soils.

Agrochemical mapping by leaving cartograms of nutrient content in the soil. Of course, there are some subtle points there, such as approbation of fertilizers with the condition of local peculiarities, but the modern expert system is able to adapt to these changes, since modern software products launched under the Asian program include the involvement of experts from each country.

With the help of a remote tractor and a device located there, you can create a soil profile, thereby complementing the soil map from the copter. As a result, we have a full-fledged soil map. With which you can already work the farmer. Having an expert system available on the map, the tractor and the tractor can perform joint tasks of tillage, fertilizer application, which are experiencing a shortage of soil, determines which types of crops are better to plant on this land. When and how much to water them.

The irreplaceable assistant for conducting and automation of a farm.

It's good that Bro Fang understood these intricacies, he showed how to use both new things with practical examples. Well, that was next to a mentor. Otherwise, the copter would have lost control, because first you need to learn how to control it, learn the functions of lifting 200 liters, the flight changes somewhat with this. Functions of seed dispersion, fertilization, photographing the terrain, mapping, creating a 3D photorealistic terrain model. As control remote tractor. This is not an easy task. Here you need a mentor, an expert who will show, tell, point to subtle points on the spot.

Bro Fang decided to stay at Dara's farm for a couple of days. It is good that he had previously provided the second address of residence in the migration service of his friend's farm. Otherwise he would have problems.

The first thing they did was launch a tractor miracle, he had to explore the soil of a small Dara farm. Then to compare two soil maps and made soil profile.

Having unpacked the tractor, Dara carefully folded the cardboard and plastic, they could be sold later, although the prices were small, for cardboard 9 cents per 1 kg and for plastic 35 cents, while typing more than 90 kg they could send the car. Dara, grew up in an old urban environment, and therefore he had a trait not inherent in youth, to save money, even in bits, here and there.

In school, he collected plastic and cardboard, then engaged in their sale. He engaged in tutoring his lagging students and took a small fee from them. The first money.

At Dara University, he was engaged in business, went to the mountains, to the famous gorge "Caravanserai", which was located to the west of the capital, in the mountains "Light". For the last 1000 years, a unique variety of watermelons was grown in this gorge, it had a medicinal effect - stimulated the metabolic processes in the liver, improved the composition of bile, prevented stone formation, was used to treat anemia, normalize blood pressure, heal arthritis and gout, they could weaken the effect of poison, improved eyesight .

The watermelon oil obtained from the pits was dietary, it had an amazing aroma, with a rich taste palette. In addition, watermelon seeds improved memory, strengthened blood vessels. Watermelon peels could also be eaten, they help the intestines work better. They were dried in the oven, they made a decoction for the treatment of edema associated with heart disease and kidneys, for this they were taken 5 grams a couple of times a day with water. But who had type 1 diabetes and had kidney stones, he was forbidden to use.

The harvests were good in the mountains from 100 kg to 300 kg, in May they are planted and the crop is already harvested in late July or early August. These watermelons were widely known in the mountains as well as in the steppes and regional cities of the province.

There one watermelon cost about 2 dollars, and already in the capital it was easy to buy for 10 dollars. Swept from the shelves for 1 hour. Then it was served in restaurants and there already two slices cost $ 20 each. Then just, Dara and met with restaurateurs ... Also in the "Light" mountains, well-known throughout the country as well as in China during the Qing Empire, dried fruit - apricots, peaches, yellow grapes were sold. They had amazing effects on rejuvenation, heart treatment and increased immunity. The price for 1 kg in the mountains was about 2 dollars in regional cities for 7 dollars already and in the capital they were bought for 15 dollars.

Then there was a transitional period and it was difficult to eat in the city, especially with delicacies such as watermelons and dry fruits.

He also rented for a quarter of the harvest from 10 acres of his younger uncle Deroesh and grew potatoes and tomatoes there. He sold at the farmers' market, paying $ 1 a day for entry, registering with the tax paid 11 percent of sales.

About 700 dollars a year. And then the salary in the city was no more than $ 45 a month.

This was the first experience of doing business with Dara.

Meanwhile, Bro, unpacked the tractor, checked the work and launched the program, hooked up the radar and the lidar. Launched across the farm to make a preliminary soil map.

Dara, distracted from her thoughts, began to unpack the copter ...

...

The copter rose to a height of 1000 meters and took the first photos of the farm, it was a 3D model and a survey map of the farm lands. The location of the farm was 25 km south-east of the capital and 50 km from the mountains in the extreme south.

3 km from a farm with 40 ares, there were small sections of 2-3 ar ... fenced with a net with a rabbit ... at an altitude of 659 meters

Bro Fang removed the black plastic from the ground ... it was not easy ...

Next lay a farm of 40 ares in the foothills at an altitude of 600 meters above sea level. The dacha plots of university professors were located near the farm, there were about fifteen small farms with neat wooden prefab houses. To them was conducted water supply, there was a power line. The facilities called "Water Closet" were in the courtyard. In recent years, they have been replaced by "bio-toilets".

5 km to the northwest of the dacha village there were large plots of land, 2-5 hectares of farms, they were tested by new microfertilizers, these were environmentally friendly places where new methods of increasing the ecological yield were tested. At an altitude of 580 meters.

In another 5 km north-west there was a holiday village with one and two storey houses. In total there were about 160. With two main streets and about six side. About 47 people lived in the holiday village, there was a polyclinic left over from the best of times. It employed two nurses and one therapist and one dentist. Children professors. There was also a small police station with five officers and two patrol cars. Its fire part with one machine. There used to be more of them, but when the science campus was closed ... the science center, the research institute and a couple of laboratories were transferred from it further south. Only one science laboratory remained ... At an altitude of 489 meters.

It was a former science campus. In the summer, children and grandchildren of professors came from the city and then the population increased to 200 people.

But twenty years ago a letter came from the head organization about the reorganization of the scientific campus and the transfer of equipment, bank accounts, and scientific funds of another organization. Well, this is the usual clan tricks, when someone from the clan wanted to pin down his rival when he lost support ... and everything ... all the old professors were thrown out like dogs on the street who could go to other countries who could not retire. Since it was already problematic to find work after 50 years, then there was a transitional period and not everything was in order with the economy.

Ten years passed and the professors were given back their opportunity to work, and as an apology, they presented private cottages with small country houses, as well as several plots of land. At the same time, however, the professors were not returned to their research center and institute, nor did they reopen that program. The clan who took this direction was not ready to return it, no one wanted much noise, neither the professor nor the clans, so they came to a compromise. It happens in the world of science and clans.

Those who stayed back to research, their achievements and knowledge were evaluated and in demand.

In total there were several types of sites. These are country houses of a scientific town of 12 acres, farms for conducting experiments on 2-5 hectares, country houses of 16 acres and 40 hundred square meters of farms, as well as small test plots of 2-3 acres per distance from farms 3 km from the southeast. .

Previously, these were all test sites for background monitoring and studying the quality and purity of fruits, berries and vegetables. There used to be such a state program for the production of environmentally friendly products for citizens ...

It was a kind of buffer zone remote from urban roads, highways. The first zone is the dacha town, the second zone is 2-5 hectares of farms, the third is cottages and farms of 40 ares, the fourth is small plots of land of 2-3 ares.

Copter made a map of the area ...

From the suburban area and the farm in the third zone, the relief was represented by small hills, a couple of tens of meters flowed a mountain river, carefully laid by the hands of builders in the stone bed. There was also a small hydroelectric station, which provided electricity ...

The site of the grandmother Aba-bie, who was now owned by Lara's beloved grandson, consisted of two sections, one with buildings for 16 ares, and the other for arable land for 40 ares. It was a small farm. Buildings it was a house on 6 ar - two floors, Finnish, folding, warm, wooden, with a fire-prevention covering. The house was held electricity and water.

On the first floor there was an entrance hall, a dining room, a study, a small kitchen, on the second floor there were two bedrooms and a library.

In the hallway there was a coat rack and a bedside table for shoes. Inside the house, people walked in slippers. On the hanger nailed to the wall of the house, hung raincoats, umbrellas, hats, near the hanger on the floor proudly topped rubber boots, attribute farmer, a pair of sneakers, galoshes ...

Immediately from the hallway, a large dining room began, in the center of the room there was a large oak table and around it fifteen chairs. Previously, it was relatively cheap, about 4 professors salaries, now it was no longer a permissible luxury. At that time, 24 years ago, the prices of goods were not very high, while professors had high salaries, utilities were stable, prices were low for them, they grew up once in 5 years.Not like now 3-4 times a year. The professors' salaries were only about 300 dollars, whereas real wooden furniture cost at least 6000 dollars.

On both sides of the table were cabinets with dishes, tablecloths, towels and cutlery. Classic European style. Not the usual Asian household. It is much simpler than a European one, several large bowls for soups, several small bowls for tea, teapots are no longer in fashion, a thermos bottle is enough, an electric kettle, a dozen plates, steel cutlery, a set of wooden chopsticks, a couple of porcelain bowls for salads. Two chef's knives. steamer, one cast-iron pan, one cast-iron pot, two steel pans. A tablecloth for a long time no one uses.

But in this house everything was different. Grandma Aba Bie appreciated tradition. The tablecloth was starched white, with a crystal vase in the center of the table.

On the other side of the table were wide and comfortable sofas and armchairs, next to which were placed two coffee tables, on which coffee cups were usually placed, with saucers and spoons. Small vases with cookies, candy, jam and sliced ​​lemon. As it is usual in our region, there were no alcoholic beverages. Ordinary drinks are green tea, black tea, herbal tea, less often boiled water with lemon, sorbet, compotes, jelly. To which they serve bread, dry fruits, nuts, seeds, jam, kiyami, bekmesy, rychaly, oriental sweets, halvah, fresh berries and fruits.

Next came the office, he was on the right of the dining room and was hiding behind an inconspicuous wooden panel. In the center of the room there was a large table, there were two laptops on it, at the bottom there was uninterrupted power for 3 hours, three routers, two filters ... a data storage system for 2 Petabytes ... only 10 to 15 ...

Around bookcases with textbooks, monographs, problem books, old books, maps of vegetation, land use, soil maps, land, some tables. A laser projector was suspended above. An interactive whiteboard was installed on the wall. Near the table stood a luxurious and large leather chair, and on the right about five large chairs.

A wide staircase with railings led to the second floor. A small corridor led to three rooms. Two small bedrooms with windows overlooking the mountains. The windows were reinforced, and they also had lattices. The house had a security system ...

The room had three single beds, two bedside tables, one small table and four chairs, two wardrobes for clothes and bed linen and also a sink with hot and cold water.

The second bedroom was with a large bed, one table and five chairs, one spacious wardrobe and a chest of drawers.

The largest room on the second floor was the library ...

In addition to the two-storey building on a plot of 10 ar, there were three extensions - a warehouse, a garage, and a house with a water closet. Also near the house were several fruit trees - two black mulberries, three white mulberries, two pear trees.

From the rear, a single unabi tree grew.

Five hundred meters from the house was a farm in 40 are. Enclosed on four sides with mesh. On the farm, there was a tap with technical water for irrigation. As well as a small collapsible warehouse for agricultural equipment.

On this the first flight of the copter was completed. Before the eyes of Dara, a 3D model of his site appeared on his laptop, as well as a map of a scientific campus. The next surprise was the output of data from a remote tractor with a preliminary arrangement of its beds, which garden crops it would be preferable to plant and in which places to have, how many ar they would occupy. Including how much Dara will be able to get the yield in kg from one ap. And also the main medicinal properties of these garden crops were described.

Such a gift, did not have to see earlier, this is a real fantasy, technological magic!

Kopter and tractor gave amazing results in their cooperation.

In the meantime, according to preliminary data on 40 ares of land types, the following vegetables, roots, berries and fruit trees could be accommodated, with an approximate yield of yield from 1 are:

1. Pasternak root vegetable - 3 weave, yield 300 centners + 30% increase in yield from micronutrients (as his relative promised)

2. Fennel root vegetable - 2 weave, yield 400-500 kg.

3. Chicory - 3 weave, harvest 160 kg.

4. Luffa - 2 weave, harvest 434 kg.

5. Artichoke - 3 weaving, yield from 50 to 100 kg.

6. Cabot gourd - 4 weave, yield - 400 kg.

7. Irga berries - 2 weave, harvest - 250 kg.

8. Strawberry berries - 2 weave, harvest 290 kg.

9. Strawberry berry - 2 weave, harvest 200 kg.

10. Raspberry berry - 2 weave, harvest 200-300 kg.

11. Black currant berry - 2 weave, harvest 150 kg.

12. Sea buckthorn berry - 4 weave, from 150 to 300 kg.

13. Fezalis –2 weave, yield 200 kg.

14. Watermelon - 7 acres, yield 300 kg.

Irga - improves digestion, strengthens the intestines, can be landed in autumn and late winter. It will bear fruit in the third year, ripens in July-August - September. Irga is resistant to diseases. Irga does not require a lot of water. It is necessary to do pruning. Shrubs live up to 60-70 years. The yield of 250 kg in 1 macaw. Climatic features - temperate climate.

Strawberries, yield 290 kg with 1 are. Strawberries love heat and sunshine. Planted in the ridge. Planted in May, and collected in late June - early July. Grow strawberries in one place for no more than 4 years. It quenches thirst well, eliminates inflammation, ulcerative processes in the stomach and intestines, is useful for gastritis. From anemia. Lowers good blood pressure. Restorative remedy for mental fatigue, decoction of leaves. For pregnant women there are contraindications and who has problems with the stomach and intestines.

Strawberries - planted in April, harvested in May. Improves the work of the heart, blood vessels, liver, kidneys, get rid of swelling and pain in the joints, intestinal infections, has anti-inflammatory properties, normalizes metabolism, contains the hormone of joy.

Be wary of eating small children and pregnant. Productivity 200 kg with 1 are. Depending on the variety.

Raspberry, it is like a weed, if it does not give abundantly water, then it ceases to give a lot of fruit, it grows and becomes like a prickly fence. Trench planting, 45 cm deep, 50 cm wide. Distance between rows 90 cm, distance between plants 40 cm. The trench is filled with a nutrient mixture. Productivity from 200 to 300 kg from 1 are. Planted in March and collected during June - August.

Currants - planted in March and collected in late June. Productivity of 150 kg with 1 are. Well with beriberi, peptic ulcer, bowel disease, hematopoietic, vasodilator, anti-inflammatory, improves immunity.

Sea buckthorn - planted in March, harvested from August to October, yield depending on the variety and year of the plant, from 130 to 300 kg with 1 ap. There are a lot of trace elements in them. Sea buckthorn strengthens the walls of blood vessels, improves tissue metabolism, slows aging, heals the liver, anemia. You can drive oil, for the treatment of trophic ulcers, chemical burns, thermal burns, stomatitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, treatment of skin diseases, increases hair growth. It helps in the treatment of bedsores, frostbite, hypertension. Who has problems with the pancreas, inflammation of the gallbladder, sea buckthorn is contraindicated.

Fezalis - have a hemostatic effect, antiseptic, analgesic, used for rheumatism, diseases of the respiratory system, gout, and herpes. A good additive for salads and soups. You can cook juices and jam. Antitussive agent. Treats a sore throat. Planting seedlings in April, at the end of July - August, yield 200 kg per 1 ap.

Medlar her well to plant, but it grows long ...

Pear - 10 children need to wait ... alas ... but lucky to have a few trees near the house ...

Mulberry - normalizes metabolism, antibacterial properties, removes toxins from the human body, antiviral effect, helps relieve stress, heals depression, helps relieve mental stress, but there are also harmful properties - mulberry does not work well with other products,

It was necessary to clarify later, with a more detailed survey of the soil map, using other scanners, reconfiguring them to a deeper study of the soil.

Suddenly, there was a cry of Bro Fang, apparently he began to swear ...

Eh, ass, why, on the soil map, some kind of anomaly ... still recently worked like a clock ... Shit ... let's check that the copter will give us ...

The copter took off ...

Shit!!! Copter is also buggy ... gives the same anomaly ...

We need to look, dig ... maybe it's a scrap of an old pipe ... here is an ass !!!
