Farm
A farm is basically an undertaking of an individual or a state. A farm is a piece of land or place where agriculture or animal husbandry is carried out, and through which food, animals or other agricultural products are produced.
Farms can be of different types and are classified according to their size, purpose and management. Below are discussed the different aspects of a farm:
1. Types of farms
Agricultural farm: Where crops are mainly grown, such as rice, wheat, vegetables, fruits, etc. The purpose of this farm is to produce food or raw materials.
Livestock farm: Where livestock is raised, such as cows, goats, chickens, sheep, etc. These farms produce milk, meat, eggs and other livestock.
Mixed farm: Where agriculture and animal husbandry are carried out together. For example, a farmer raises livestock along with growing crops.
Organic Farm: Where crops are grown and livestock are raised using natural ingredients and no chemical fertilizers or pesticides are used.
Fish Farm: This farm cultivates fish, such as fish ponds, poon farming, or various methods of fish farming.
2. Required Farm Materials
Soil: Good soil is very important for farms. Soil with nutritious and water-holding capacity is required for agriculture.
Water: The supply of water required for irrigation is very important. Irrigation systems are planned based on the size and productivity of the farm.
Machinery: Machinery is very necessary for modern farming, such as tractors, harvesters, irrigation systems, etc.
Workers: Workers are needed to run the farm operations, who will perform field work, animal husbandry, and other necessary tasks.
3. Farm Facilities
Food Production: Farms are one of the main sources of food production. They help ensure the food security of the country.
Economic Contribution: Farms serve as a large part of the agricultural economy and contribute to job creation.
Environmental Protection
Disadvantages of new farms
If you farm, you will have to face these problems.!!
Currently, we marginal farmers are facing destruction due to the high-bred cows of flattering YouTubers and hybrid farmers in this sector, so it is important for new and old farmers to know these things:-
(1) Most of us make the biggest mistake in building the set in the beginning.
➡️For example, we spend a lot of money on building the set. Which is not right at all. What will you do with the set if you are not successful in raising cows? And we make food utensils like dining tables, which is never scientific!
➡️We cannot make the slope of our floor as it should be, due to which the cows cannot stand properly and once the floor gets wet, it is not comfortable all day.
➡️Then there is so little space from the place where the cows stand to the back, it is very difficult to travel and do other activities.
➡️ If the height of the house, the external drain, these are not done properly, but later we will understand the problem.
2.➡️. The biggest mistake we make is when we spend a lot of money on other people's land for 5/7 years lease, later there is no match between the words of the landowner and the work. Of course, we have to plant grass on our own land or take a five to ten year lease through a contract.
3.➡️Then when we go to the market to buy cows, we do not understand the right breed, standard, quality. Due to which we cannot earn a good profit from here.
4.➡️When there are 20/30 cows in your farm, at different times they will be affected by viral (FMD). (LSD) diseases or other diseases.
The main feature of this disease is that if one is affected, all of them will be affected.
If you can get all these cows back to normal, then this is your step towards success.
5.➡️Why are the cows of big farmers less prone to diseases? Because they are more aware than us. To keep the cow healthy, you must apply regular vaccines and complete the worm dose.
If you do not give timely vaccines and worm doses, you will have to sell the cow and buy medicine. Now decide what to do.
6.➡️ When you start a cow farm, a cow can be affected by various diseases, including LSD. FMD and matchitis, especially if affected by these three diseases, your cow will never return to normal as long as it lives.
7.➡️ If you cannot devote time to the farm, then I can say that you will never be successful, write it down.
Shepherds and rural doctors do not want you to ever become a big farmer. You will not understand this now, but later when there are 40/50 cows on the farm.
8.➡️ You do not have your own land, you cannot plant grass, only on straw and grains and on silage purchased from outside, if you want to maintain the farm, then your maximum loss will be 5/10 lakh taka per year. You will not understand this in the beginning.
9.➡️ To raise cows, you have to be a cow with the cows!! Are you surprised? Yes, I am telling the right thing. Buying cows from the market, managing food, arranging first aid yourself, judging the good and bad diseases of the cows after looking at them. Marketing at the right time, you must have knowledge about these things.
10.➡️ It doesn't matter whether you work or not, but you must be present between six and nine in the morning and between three and five in the afternoon. Because the biggest enemy of your enemy is the shepherd. These fools have honey in their mouths but poison in their hearts, but there are some good people who are exceptions.
11.➡️ Always think about the demand for cows in your local market to make cows of that range. I see many people shedding tears by raising them extra large.
Especially during the sacrifice, cows worth 7/8 lakhs were sold for three to four lakhs. So this work cannot be done in the hope of extra profit.
12➡️ Farm is not a piece of cake, it will come within your reach if you want it. In this sector, you have to invest a lot of capital, have a lot of trouble, tension, patience. The profit is relatively low.
Managing a farm and maintaining a farm is the same as raising a family with 4 wives🤔‼️
You will not find all these complete concepts in any book in the world. You cannot become a farmer by just earning a certificate.
Experience and patience are worth a thousand times more here.
Prayers and love for all the farmer brothers and expatriate brothers, I do not want you to lose a single penny for any reason. If you start small with patience in the beginning, you will have a lot of experience from there.
State Farm
State farms or government farms generally refer to farms that are run by the government and are usually used for development and research in agriculture, animal husbandry, or other agricultural activities. State farms are established to improve agriculture, innovate technology, food security, and support farmers.
Some of the topics you can include in a blog about state farms are:
1. Purpose and importance of state farms
Agricultural development: The main purpose of state farms is to modernize agriculture and increase productivity.
New technologies and research: These farms serve as platforms for agricultural research, so that farmers can learn new technologies.
Food security: State farms play a role in ensuring food supply and in producing food during times of crisis.
2. Types of state farms
Agricultural farms: Crop production, fertilizer use, climate-sensitive farming, etc.
Livestock farms: Raising animals such as cows, buffaloes, chickens, goats or sheep, producing milk and meat.
Fish farming: Fish farming and related research.
Forestry and forestry production: Forestry processes, timber production, conservation of the natural environment.
