17 AGRICULTURAL LAWS TO KNOW
1. Never target high seasons; high seasons come with their own challenges. Be a farmer, not a gambler.
2. Choose at least two main crops and a crop rotation plan. Switching from one crop to another is not directly in your pocket.
3. Plan your farm and always have crops at different stages of age to ensure a constant supply.
4. No crop is profitable in itself; just master the advantages and disadvantages of a particular crop.
5. Having a lot is not a guarantee for successful farming.
6. Have a spraying and fertilizing plan and stick to it.
7. Never follow the advice of agro-veterinarians and agrochemical sales agents. Most of them are salespeople, not agronomists.
8. Try as much as possible to reduce agricultural expenses without compromising the quality of products.
9. Never hold onto a product if it is perishable. Sell it at prevailing prices.
10. Never plant a new seed on a large scale before testing it, unless you have seen it somewhere.
11. Never entrust your million-dollar idea to a farm worker; make sure you are present during critical stages of crop development until commercialization.
12. Never employ a close family member to manage your farm; most of them will let you down.
13. If you are neighboring farmers, plant the same crop.
14. Never apply agricultural information you get online without consulting your agronomist.
15. Always have a farm plan.
16. Old is always good. Most old seed varieties and chemicals will never disappoint you.
17. Passion in agriculture
Agriculture forever.
