Instruction manual

1

Decide what you can grow on your land. To do this, order a soil analysis for acidity and mineral content. As a rule, most vegetable crops grow well on moderately alkaline soils with a pH close to neutral. But there are exceptions - for example, sorrel, rhubarb and spinach. Analyze the demand for prospective vegetable products. Count how much you can produce in the harvest year. Make similar calculations for the year with average yields. Be sure to consider the possible risks.

Review livestock conditions. Maintaining cows in the context of the farm is the most costly, but it is from the cows that are most profitable. Cows give milk, which is always in demand, as well as calves. In other words, farmers receive profit from a cow not once, but throughout the life of the animal. The content of goats is also beneficial, because goat milk and its processed products are again in demand by consumers. Both cows and goats need warm barn, straw, hay, other vegetable feed and animal feed. Also in farm conditions, pig farming is cost-effective. Their diet consists primarily of plant and food waste. For the full development of these animals, it is correct to use mineral dressings, in particular, to give in a small amount substances containing lime.

Build a house. Breeding of chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys is characterized by a fast cycle of growing birds. Accordingly, they begin to lay eggs rather quickly, which can be sold or allowed to allow birds to incubate the chicks, thereby increasing their number. Recently, quite rare birds for Russian farms have been in demand: guinea fowl, pheasants, partridges, quail, etc. Restaurateurs willingly buy them.

Think marketing. For a medium-sized farm, it is enough to conclude agreements with 3-4 restaurants so as not to have problems with the sale of products. Also, in terms of sales, companies working on collective farm markets and buying products from farmers for the purpose of further sales may be of interest. If you wish, you yourself can rent seats in such markets. Then your profit will be much higher. In addition, veterinary laboratories operate on collective farm markets. In all other cases, you will have to obtain permits yourself, as well as register as an individual entrepreneur without forming a legal entity (PBUL).
