- Avoid High Season Cultivation: High seasons bring unpredictable challenges. Farm strategically, not impulsively.
- Diversify Crops and Rotate: Opt for at least two main crops and a rotation plan. Crop changes aren’t immediate financial gains.
- Stage Your Crops: Ensure a consistent supply by maintaining crops at various growth stages.
- Understand Crop Dynamics: No crop is inherently profitable. Know the benefits and drawbacks of each crop.
- Volume Doesn’t Equal Success: Large quantities alone don’t guarantee farming success.
- Follow a Fertilization Plan: Stick to a strict schedule for spraying and fertilizing.
- Be Skeptical of Sales Advice: Many agro-veterinarians and chemical sellers prioritize sales over sound agronomy.
- Cut Costs Wisely: Reduce agricultural expenses without compromising product quality.
- Sell Perishables Promptly: Dispose of perishable products at current market prices.
- Test New Seeds on a Small Scale: Don’t plant new seeds on a large scale without first testing them.
- Supervise Key activities: Be present for critical crop development stages and don’t delegate vital tasks to farm workers.
- Avoid Family Farm Managers: Employing close family members as farm managers often leads to disappointment.
- Coordinate with Neighbors: Plant the same crop as neighboring farmers for mutual benefit.
- Verify Online Information: Consult your agronomist before applying online agricultural advice.
- Maintain a Comprehensive Farm Plan: Always operate with a detailed plan for your farm.
