How to Lease Land for Farming
How to Lease Land for Farming
Here are the 5 main steps:
Find the piece of shamba you want to lease.
Check the size of the shamba, boundaries, who it belongs to and if there is any problem with the land.
Also,make sure that the person offering you the lease is who they say they are - exchange your ID’s.
Tell the landowner what you plan to do on the shamba. Have a written understanding and people present
to see and confirm it.
Talk with the landowner about the specific rules and conditions of the lease. This includes: how much rent
you'll pay, how the land will be used and how long the lease will last.
Come up with a written agreement and have it approved by the local administrator such as a village elder
or chief.#trending #Dairy #Dairyfarming #Silagemaking #Silage #Freddairy #Dairyfarminginkenya #viral

Asanti sana Bwana Fred
Karibu sana
A very expensive way of feeding.
I have some clarification i need from you. 1 .For the ordinary nappier at what height should it be harvested ? 2. Do i wilt the nappier Before Chopping or After Chopping ? 3. Is it must to add the molasses & the microbes ??
cut when 3 mtrs,wilt for four days depending on weather.molasses aids in fermentation process.molaplus adds bacteria needed for the rumen
Those blue drum umekata into half ni how many litters
300 ltrs
A chopper is perfect
the best
Hello how can i reach you
whatsapp +254793754966
Please send me the plan and measurement thank you
You're doing great bro. Keep it up. I also have 3 incalf heifers and i always look up to you. They will be Calving down mid next year. Hoping and working for the best.
Good day Sir, can I feed my cows only on Maize Silage and they will produce good milk?
Yes.But in a pilot phase to avoid acidosis.For milk increase,many factors are considered.Cow genetics,Cow comfort,Feeding regime etc
👍
Very Educative to interested Ones to venture into dairy farming.
Thanks very much fred
much welcome
Good
Thank you for watching
Great work fred what is the importance of blue feeding troughs over concrete once?
Unlike cement, it will not rust or crack, won't absorb moisture or feed. Smooth surface doesn't hurt cow's tongues like rough cement and protruding rocks.
That's very educative mostly for new farmers. What's your contact
Thank you for watching.Whatsapp +254793754966
How big is your farm to cater for 4cows? How many litres of milk do you milk on Daily basis through out the year?
1/4 acre.But i source fodder from other leased places.On average currently am doing 18 litres but improving with time.
@FredDairyFarm that's good but what's the price of leasing and are the leased farm with nappier grass plant ready on the farm?
@@Xaswawa-rz2et For my case,i leased a bushy field and i had to clear it and dig,then planted maize for silage.1 acre goes for 12k per year.Make sure you have a lease agreement before leasing
@@FredDairyFarmyou planted your grass/maize on your own and cutt, make silage for your cows? You are very hard-working. Keep going.
@@FredDairyFarmpost more contents and videos to share more with the World
Nice work, following your steps
Thank you.Together we will make it
True
Fred I have irrelevant question. She is almost calving down. When do I stop giving dry salt? and what should i give after stopping dry. Salts for maziwa au??
For me i stop feeding dry salts(Mack lick dry) 10 days to calving and i introduce high phosphorous and calcium mineral salts(Macklic super) and kupa kula gold.
Nice 💪🏾
Thanks
Mwalimu you are proof that good things come to those who are willing to sacrifice to reach a worthwhile goal.... congratulation 🙏🏾

when feeding silage what estimate does a cow consume in a day in kgs .
Depends on body weight,stage of lactation and many factors.A cow should consume 2-3% of its body weight as forage dry matter
During which months are more available? Also do you have a source for lucern?
After rains they are in plenty.For lucern i have no connections

What can be used to replace Urea in this formula?
NaOH, CaO, ammonia, sulfuric acid
Very innovative. Thank you for sharing. Please can this silage formula be fed to pigs?
The silage is best fed to pigs that are over three months of age and weigh more than 25kg.The results, although not conclusive, indicate that some urea (1 to 2% ) can be used by the growing pigs. However, the diet must supply the essential amino acids, or they must be added if there is to be a positive response.But be very careful of nitrate poisoning.

Good day to you Madam. I am Mr. Castro from Cambodia I want some heifer if the price are good I will say bye till I hear from you
