Over time being a farmer is one i cherish and i love doing, I'm into livestock farming, so also crop farming.
Lately my focus has been on my birds has it is not a planting season yet.
i find both planting practices interesting and lucrative but as a response to #hagro community question, i still like livestock practicesmore than, and consider that the best farming practice in my own opinion and my experiences in farming so far.
i still find crop farming stressfull, i mean to get the land, prepare it, viz, clearing, tilling and all but thats not to say it is no quite lucrative, i mean the joy that comes growing your own food yourself
Crop farming also be risky, if care is not taken you could lose it all through irregular weather, different pest and diseases attack, just to mention a few.
Here are the broiler birds section,a livestock farming, find it rather easier compare to the crop farming.
In a year i could keep like 5 different sets of birds, thats not to say that there are no losses in livestock farming just that i feel the risk here is at the minimal, if you get it right thou, because if you expose your birds they may die too.
- If i have my way i will go for livestock farming, but then i enjoy doing the two, livestock and crop farming.
