Instructions
Step 1
Decide what you can grow on your existing plot of land. To do this, order a soil analysis for acidity and mineral content. As a rule, most vegetable crops grow well in moderately alkaline soils with a pH close to neutral. But there are exceptions - for example, sorrel, rhubarb and spinach. Analyze the demand for the proposed vegetable product. Calculate how much you can produce in a productive year. Make similar calculations for a year with average yields. Be sure to calculate the possible risks.
Step 2
Study the conditions for keeping cattle. Keeping cows in the context of a farm is the most costly, but it is from cows that the most profit is made. Cows provide milk, which is always in demand, as well as calves. In other words, farmers receive profits from a cow not once, but throughout the life of the animal. It is also beneficial to keep goats, because goat milk and products of its processing are again in demand by consumers. Both cows and goats need a warm barn, straw, hay, other vegetable feed and compound feed. It is also cost-effective to breed pigs in a farm environment. Their diet consists primarily of plant and food waste. For the full development of these animals, it is correct to use mineral supplements, in particular, to give a small amount of substances containing lime.
Step 3
Build a poultry house. Breeding chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys is characterized by a fast growing cycle of birds. Accordingly, they begin to lay eggs quite quickly, which can be sold or given to birds to incubate chicks, thereby increasing their livestock. Recently, birds that are quite rare for Russian farms have been in demand: guinea fowls, pheasants, partridges, quails, etc. They are eagerly bought by restaurateurs.
Step 4
Consider marketing. For a medium-sized farm, it is enough to conclude contracts with 3-4 restaurants in order not to have problems with the sale of products. Also, in terms of sales, companies operating on collective farm markets and buying products from farmers for the purpose of further sale 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 at 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).
