Here are free tools and tips to improve your agribusiness enterprise.

Is farming a business?

Yes it is a profitable business if done the right way. My farm is my business. The agribusiness entrepreneur plans and organises all the factors of production - tools, labour, equipments, pesticides, seeds and money necessary for the production ready at the appropriate time.

Just like other businesses - construction, commerce or processing of agricultural products; money goes in and money goes out. Agricultural work starts at the beginning of the season and one cannot stop the field work before the harvest.

Farming involves planning, dedication and tact.

This thread is to document my mechanised farming experience.

We just received most of the equipment for the farming. Hopefully this dry season will give us opportunity to put them to work.

Feel free to give us any advice you think can help us.

Sir, I will be offering you free consultation service on your mechanization project. This will be my personal contribution to the success of this project. You will be free to either take any of my recommendations or discard them, before you discard it anyway, compare it closely with your field situation.

What can one plant in a farm that terminates in a stream. Its a bit swampy and fertile

During the heavy rains, the soil maybe be water logged. I. e not suitable for growing any economy crop. But as you had rightly point, there would have been lots of nutrients washed down and settled on the soil.

Here is catch. As the dry seasons draw near, the water socked soil begins to dry out and you are left with alluvial soils which is rich in humus. Planting on such soil can span between 4 - 6 months in some places. Therefore, planting cucumbits, maize and Leafy traditional veggies depending on what's commonly eaten in your area.

As the rains sets it, you should be winding down your operations and moving upland due to flooding concerns.

The list is endless. The possibilities are varied too. Study your environment and tap the endless advantages.
