Fortunately, labour cost isn't a very major factor for us. After starting out with piecework people, we then moved onto have staff that are full time employed. This has helped a lot because they get to do a lot of work each month and give us value for money. Wr also fund that their productivity improves all the time as we train them, meaning that the time taken per job improves, as well as the quality of their work each time. We also have strong supervisors on each farm to keep the workers moving.

@mondofarms43434 ай бұрын
Hi there. There's no real secret. When you first grow a crop, you can see the fruits or whatever reach maturity with your eyes and by touching and feeling. You also start to sample and taste it. You will know when it is ready because it will become what you yourself would buy to eat. It is also to take samples to your shop or market offtakers. When we started to learn to grow onion, we had our market agent guiding us along way. He really helped us produce something that he could then sell.

Radishes grow well here in Antigua and make an excellent cash crop for me. I also specialize in leafy veg such as kale, chard and Arugula. Since I am on a small Plot, I go for crops which I can either continously harvest, eg kale or crops which allow me to sell the leaves as greens while waiting for the roots to mature.

Hi Ezekiel. Welcome to the channel, which is about sharing our farming journey and inspiring others. As you watch more of our videos, you will see that we rarely, if ever, get into such technical details. There's plenty of other videos on KZbin that cover the content you are asking about, and we didn't want to go that route. There are also a lot of resources available on the internet, such as crop planting guides from seed companies, NGOs, etc, that I found and downloaded when I was at your stage. Finally, we always recommend engaging the services of a good Agronomist when venturing into crop farming. Most seed and fwriliser companies employ them, and they guide and advise farmers, visit farms, etc All the best with your farming.
