THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FARMING...No. 3 will shock you
1) The farm is not a holiday camp where you
choose when and what to do. Your farm is a
miltary Camp where you should follow all
guidelines be alert participate and do the right
thing at the right time.
You need to check on your farm regularly as little mistake or change may greatly affect your output thereby reducing the return of investment (ROI)
2) You will never be successful if you want to
farm like everyone else, always try to be different
right from planting date and harvesting times.
Try as much as you can to incorporate new
knowledge and also work with new people every
time. Always stay in touch with technological updates and innovations also.
3). Always be focused, patient and determined. Don't be
only profit oriented, remember some things are
driven by passion than the urge to make profits.
Farming is all about passion, if you don't have the passion you are going nowhere.
4). Be ready to share with others your farming
skills and knowledge through that you will have
time to research for more and also people will be
willing to share with you their secrets.
5). "Sometimes the wirll wind will
be soo strong and try to uproot you but always
remember rule number 3".
6). To be a successful farmer you atleast need
to concentrate on one-3 activities doing more at
the same time can be boring sometimes and may
have much envolvement.
7). A time will come in life when everyone will be
looking at you and say through you I have seen
light in farming, never boast about that but put
more effort until they say "Through you I can
now expand my territory and employ more
people"
8). Finally, always work on improving your managerial skills. One thing is to set up a farm and another thing is to manage and grow it. Always remember you're not
successful until your successors succeed"
