7 Things Farmers Should Know Before Entering the Year 2023

1. Entering into a new year casually without definite plans will slow things down for you. You should do all you can to enter consciously and strategically into the New Year. As you know, luck is when preparation meets opportunity. Try and create your own luck in the year 2023 no matter what.

2. Entering into the New Year with positivity will do great things for your farming business. I still maintain that Success in any business including farming is more than 50% psychological. If you believe that you will thrive and survive in 2023, nothing can stop you. You are the creator of your life and business experience.

3. Don’t carry only production orientation thinking into the New Year if you don’t want to be a victim of some ruthless Middlemen. Enter the New Year with the mind of a marketer. Believe me, only a marketing mind-set can greatly help you in life and business.

4. Closure of borders or not, non-efficient and mediocre farmers will continue to have challenges in the New Year. No matter what is done by the government to assist you in farming business, if you don’t take responsibility, you will be seriously limited.

5. If you are fond of responding slowly to customers’ enquiries, the coming New Year will be harsh to you because in business, the fast will always eat up the slow. Please read this point again and again. 

6. If you want to get a new positive result in the New Year, you will need to have a paradigm shift (mental shift) and engage new thinking. Do you remember the words of the famous physicist Albert Einstein, that it is insanity to keep doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result?

7. The farmers that will keep succeeding in the New Year and years to come must form better relationships with great experts, credible input suppliers, quality workers and super loyal customers. Please read this point again and again!

Please remember that when you are comfortable on your path, it doesn’t matter where it leads.

Complete Guide To Chicken Feed Formulation

The common ingredients are whole maize, maize bran, cotton seed cake, soya beans, sunflower and fishmeal (omena). In addition, farmers need to add several feed additives (micronutrients, minerals and vitamins) to ensure their birds have a balanced feed that meets their daily nutrient requirements. Ingredients are cheaply available, especially after the harvesting season. Depending on the cost of ingredients, farmers who make their own feeds at home save between 30 to 50% for every 70kg bag of chicken feed, depending on the source of their raw materials. Due to government regulation, major feed companies have reduced the standard quantity of feed from 70kg to 50kg per bag, but the price of feed still remains almost the same. This means that farmers who are able to make their own feeds make great savings on feeds which take up to 80% of the production costs. To formulate feed, farmers have to use the Pearson Square Method . In this method, the Digestible Crude Protein (DCP) is
