5 Things you need to know when you start Farming

You Need Plenty of Water

It is nearly impossible to farm with government supplied water. If you do not have a borehole, river or dam on your property farming will be very hard and expensive. You can also be fined for using to much government supplied water and they can limit your water usage.

Farming with Live Stock

The general rule when farming with sheep is about 5 sheeps per hectare, depending on your area. Too many livestock on dense areas will convert free feed into buying feed. Feed for animals is very expensive and can lead to failure of your new farming business.

The welfare of your birds is always an important concern, and particularly so in the case of a disease outbreak.

Movement restrictions can have a negative impact on poultry, with confinement potentially leading to health and behavioral problems.

Allow for appropriate stocking density and avoid over - crowding. Stocking density will be determined by the type of housing and the weather conditions where your farm is situated. 

Having a contingency plan in place will make sure that the welfare of your flock remains a priority at a critical time.
