/Pol/ I inherited 500m of land, and I want to know how to work it myself.
anyone here has or know of a good book or guide to start on basic agriculture?
not interested in raising animals though.
I can afford to buy eggs, if it means not having to deal with that farm smell
I'm no farmer but I do know that you need at least two dimensions to grow stuff. 500m in one plane of existence just won't cut it, I think you've been had m8.

Hire white men
Don't white blacks
You just buy a tractor and till the shit, then plant something like corn or whatever. Water it and throw pig shit on it. Done.

Start composting, it'll get you the best soil and is free. Gardening isn't that difficult just know the plants' requirements and don't let them wilt.
>>73321144
>working a acre by myself
you think I am mad?
If this gets way too easy I buy my neighbor 300 square meters or my other neigh.
All this land is left to the giant rats but it is fertile as shit.
>>73319191
I think it's bad idea that kind of questions in /pol/.
>>73319313
What is compost?
>>73319191

Anything you grow will be either eaten by giant rats or stolen by your monkey neighbours
Just try a small test plot first before you pump any brazilian shiny shells into it
all the money is in cattle. those fuckers go from 1-2k a pop...imagine just watching big momma cow shit out a thousand fucking dollars...thats the dream

Grow beef you jackass
Plant ag requires labor, heavy attention to weather, and good soil to start with. Alternatively can do sheep, goats, or camelids (llamas, alpacas)for food and/or wool if thats a thing in your country. Pigs smell too much and chickens need high efficiency to be profitable (super easy otherwise).
If you want to know more, go ahead and ask. Working on bachelors in horses and cattle at the moment. Also know argentina and brazil are beef power houses

whatever is better
but throw pig shit and then water it
Literally google it you chimp

I am a city man, pol is the very reason I am not selling....at least not right now.
this is the kinda of place where a man might have a big family so I am trying to look into it for a while see how it feels. maybe I invest bigger money, or maybe I just hold for a couple of years while Brazil is on crisis and sell in a healthy market when it is productive, either way is because of /pol/ that I am making good decisions.

after a google search apparently is rotten stuff in a barrel.

the trick is to maintain a specific humidity level; if you wind up growing mold it can eat your crops too I think and too dry and it won't break down. look up vermiculture. you probably wont need to fertilize or to work hard if the land is alreadg fertile. especially of you plant native crops

How you have a idea of how many cows would I even need? dealing with animals sounds so much more complex for just some a starter.
yes, wool is NOT a thing in my country.

Gotta get rid of them rats, pal. They had them where I had a garden once and they just stripped the corn. It was peeled like a banana and the kernels gone. If you are in an unpoluted area you could eat the rats.
>>73324988
did you eventually got completely rid of them?
yeah, I think I could eat 'em, the ones here are so big I bet I could get 2 steaks out of each one.
nope, not gonna do it.
>>73324988
>you could eat the rats
Unconventionally edgy.

Ill give you an example from a small beef business in california.
Most cattle ranches have less then 100 head of cattle in america. But most of those are owned/ran by people with other jobs. In california, you can make a decent living still with that alone, but usually need a niche. Also a single person or some more can easily run that operation with the right space.
People looking to test it out might do 5-20 cattle at first and have them pop out the cash bags/ calves. Sell them as needed, pay bill, down payment on truck, or something. Then when they get use to it, they might get bigger.
I recently went to a cattle auction in northern cali that dealt with small operations. Airconditioner repairmen were dropping off cattle. And ranches from states over were still trying to purchase these cattle for feedlots.
Tl;dr you can ease onto the business with beef cattle.
If you're looking to sell what you grow you could start looking for buyers, and what they need. Although the land is relatively small to make a big profit, but rarely starts anybody from the top, if ever.
If you're keeping it to yourself, potatoes may be a good choice. But... you should consider consulting someone in the field or something

>missing the joke
he means for the dogs, some dogs could get sick if the rat is not the forest rat.

Clean eat meat is delicious, especially ones that only feed on local veggies and other Clean animals
No different than squirrel or good coon meat
>>73326100
What this guy said continuing on from >>73326080
Going to an auction and asking what buyers want helps alot. Also nearby college if there is any out there. I know from my dad and moms countries (phillipines and el salvador) that things arent the same as the u.s.
Also i can recommend a book that is great and easy to read that were using in our class if you want.
>>73326832
yeah, I would love to get a book recommendation. hell if you have in pdf consider sharing it m8
maybe other bros would also benefit from it
>>73327512
Sec, grabbing info
>>73327512
"Beef Production and Management Decisions" 5th edition. Thomas G. Field.
I bought it physically so dont know of the pdfs. After getting my associates degree (and an attempt at computer science), can tell you this book is very well done, especially going into my bachelor's

Does it have minor loss coefficients for 4" 6" 8" 12" and 18" concrete lined ductile iron pipe?
>>73328184

>>73326565
for a day while camping, sure. but still you have to skin and take the bones and you end up with a handful of meat.
