Is it possible to earn a part-time farm: personal experience in domestic realities

More and more people tend to move to the village, or at least, in a house in the private sector of the city. Even on a cursory, glance rural life seems fairer, simpler and healthier. Free labor of free people in the land of the free - what could be better?

wearer FORUMHOUSE Desyatkina My husband and I decided to find a way to make a personal economy. They are not satisfied with the salary in the enterprise, which is not enough to have ten children or if you need something. No new posts family lives in the city, but in a private two-story house, which stands on a small plot of 3.5 hundred.

Figured things to do, and we decided to breed pedigreed rabbits giants. Bought five cells Mikhailov, toured several cities in search of a good breeding stock... All this took about 80 thousand rubles. Six months later, the cost is fully paid off, and now the rabbits stably bring the family up to 25 thousand rubles. Desyatkina to advertise and sell the rabbit droppings, but to no avail. Most likely, the fact that the demand for this fertilizer is only once a year, in late March - April. For sale is a winter litter, simply add up all winter, frozen, bagged and carried out in a first warm Springtime. So, all in front.

To spring Desyatkina walk-behind tractor diesel bought and gave an advertisement for plowing gardens. Now, every spring walk-behind family brings about 50 thousand rubles per month. Work - not an easy task, but the eldest sons are already helping.

Having studied the market, Desyatkina I was surprised by the demand for rabbit meat. It turned out that there are many willing to buy a ton twice a month and on an ongoing basis. For the family, of course, unrealistic amounts, but - there is something to ponder.

Further more. People who bought from Desyatkin rabbits, kept asking where to buy good food. The family council decided to buy a granulator and by making pellets.

Of course, everything was not so simple, for two years we were idea, and finally began to implement it. I had to buy a crusher, granulator, bag closing machine, hydrometer. Well, we already have a garage of 40 square meters, there we started its production of granulated fodder.

And once began to produce food for the birds, it still brought turkeys and guinea fowl and chickens have been so. In addition, the family has a scaffolding and a trailer, which is also rented and generate additional income.

The latter idea, visited the family - the production of cat litter. Once there is a granulator, why not produce wood pellets? The rabbits were kept a few, but the cats in the city enough. The filler of the first estimates, should sell well, because the cheapest (filings can be found at almost no cost) and quality.

consultant FORUMHOUSE Andrey Vasilyev believes that Desyatkina uses not all of the capabilities of their remarkable granulyatornoy machine.

Andrey Vasilyev

That's what you call a filler in cat litter, you can still call the pellets for solid fuel boilers that will be the absolute truth. Demand for them (at least, in the Moscow region) is very high. Well, volumes, respectively, by the ton.

There is also the technology of production of granulated bird droppings, perhaps a rabbit also can be.

Rabbits - popular animals on small farms. Gameday think that to keep a cow - hard, and, as a rule, it needs its own equipment for fodder - if you buy, it will be unprofitable.

Milk and eggs all year round

But this, again, how to approach the issue, and how much effort to make. familiar forumchaninBOS Constantine, Which is already over seventy years old, in the city, in a house with a plot keeps seven cows. She is only concerned with milking. Hay buys grass bring it to clean employs inexpensive neighboring marginal. For manure is always foremost - in the city is a big deficit. Milk dismantled immediately after milking: the cost of sales are zero, and the price - maximum. Even if half of the profits will go to the feed, the net balance - normal and, most importantly, - guaranteed. Risks in all other areas of agriculture is much greater, he says forumchanin.

In TaLii1 - major coop. Foundation - a meter in height, and then double-wall polycarbonate, wooden frame. In the winter heated henhouse long burning stove. If desired, it can be cold to warm to 30 and more. In this henhouse chickens are born in the winter as in the summer. A good farm eggs in the winter are more valuable.

Crop

More profitable than livestock and poultry, many forum users find garden. Maximum profit in a limited area can be obtained from the greenhouses. Profitability hectares of open ground is equivalent to 10-15 weaving protected. The focus is on the production-of-season production or displacement yields at a time when there is no receipt of the open ground. Good deal with seedlings and saplings.

Idea tery52 As for creating a year-round greenhouse. The idea is to make a greenhouse heated by type of "warm floor", with temperature control. At a depth of 30-40 cm put Metal-coil in the entire greenhouse area, "Available in the circulation pump, elektrokotol 3 kW, it is possible to connect to a gas boiler, and it also has a power reserve».

Floriculture and trade in small things

Delfinca argues that the move from the city better than the village or in the village, not the village. Buy a house with land on the main street and to grow flowers: seedlings and cut flowers. In a greenhouse - all year round in the open field - seasonally. Directly in the house to arrange a store. And so in the off-season it was also income trading in this store fodder for animals, gifts, souvenirs, potted plants, toys. So, necessarily need a car to drive item.

After three or four years, may themselves have planted will not be anything, everything only through reselling and do landscaping on the site and will advise the villagers on this issue. Personally, I would have nothing more than another did not do it.

Perquisite to sokodavke

Tatusja and her family during the season under pressure to order the juice of pears and apples. Sokodavka stands on the territory of the CNT, where is the land of the portal member. Fee charge around Euros per liter of finished juice. It all depends on the variety, but, on average, from a bag of apples is published four to five liters. None of sokodavki in this there is no escape, the competition - from 1.5 to 3 liters - with a bucket. «I do not know, didnt, or cast themselves, but we – just sold out " - He speaks Tatusja. The apple year and a half or two months out of 2.5 thousand in neyablochny - a little more than a thousand.

The difficulties and embodiments

But even the forum users, who are doing well, admit earning enough to live, to get all the same difficult from their personal economy. Therefore, it is necessary to look at the sober, without great illusions. At the forum a lot of stories with a bad end: as a man grown cabbage field, but could not sell because of the price that was given, it was easier to bury it near a tractor in a ravine. Or how much to buy feed to fatten pigs up to marketable weight (not to profit - until retaken their expenses, at least). A huge problem - the marketing of products. If this issue is not resolved immediately, there is no sense to start anything. And the farther away from the big city is a village, the more difficult. Often, the only remains that donate products to dealers for a pittance.

Earn really easily. But personally, I understand by earning wages sufficient for living. With this – more difficult. Especially if you want to earn serious. It has a slightly different level of business. And life in the village - it is, in fact, the business 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It would be good to define what it means to a serious level of earnings. On this depends the amount of work and, consequently, the necessary investments.

Archimed also I believe that now - not the best time to untrained people moved to the village in the hope "that this is the most it - agriculture." But for an experienced, hardened to life's storms and critically thinking person LPH may be a new point of force application.

I too, in connection with the upcoming relocation to the countryside, I think is not rush into these murky waters just so, and to act in several stages. First – just live in the country, while continuing to work in the same industry that now (city work). Gradually (using disguised rear and some financial support from their work) to start farm. And after that, if there is effort, time, desire, money – extend it to serious volumes. And so that's "head" to compete with the APH-shnymi holdings farmer now, I think, is impossible. Marketing needs, working capital, fixed assets – a lot of things ...
