Thread: Buy farmland.

I have jest been asked by my wife of 5 years to buy 5 more acares of rice patty to add to our 15 we have all ready,at a cost of 250,000 bht. We have been letting her extended family look after the place for no return, If I were to take over mamament what should i except return per crop.

I have a few rai which my BIL takes full control and responsibility for.
He pays all inputs.
He keeps 2/3 of the crop, we get 1/3. Last season was a return on investment of a little over 5%.

Well the beans went in yesterday - time to start praying for rain.

are they soy beans or other?

beans are good for the ground, you will need less fertiliser for the rice

but you knew that

For some reason our farm is naturally high in its fertiliser levels, either that or the previous farmer had been adding too much to the soil.

Just bean beans Dr Andy, not Soy.

Also, the farm is in Australia so not much rice will be planted on it!

In case you hadn't worked out that I had no idea what beans they were well here is the correct answer.

The type is faba beans which is like a small broad bean. the variety is Fiesta.

Excellent farming strategy....same same me.

Farming strategy, you mean like not having one?

Yes they always semm to be the best ones.

Well the farm is off to a flyer as we received 7mm of rain just a few days after sowing and then another follow up of 10mm + another few days after that.

Lets hope it continues.....

What are you growing Memock and how many rai do you own if you don't mind me asking?

I like Fava beans, like small broad beans and tasty

Ubon farang, all that info is near the start of the thread, although it is pretty boring as the farm is in Australia, not Thailand.

They're not very big...

All very interesting, and pointless as t57 points out farangs cannot own land

Yes they can......

Jim, what drugs are you on mate - of course I can own land such as the one in the pics I just posted.

This subject has been done to death. Get over it.

Biofuel is now being produced in some US major cities. San Jose, Ca is going to invest millions to turn their tree trimmings into biofuel. Sacramento, the city of

Sacramento, the city of 1 million trees is going to turn their tree trimmings into biofuel, no need to use grains. I meet with team this Tues. We are going to start a hydoponic operation growing lettuce and tomatoes nearby, and use the biofuel for red and LED light to grow the vegs. They have been hauling the tree trimmings to land fill. Our produce in the supermarkets comes as far away as 1,500 miles. We will eliminate trucks hauling produce and the need for 1 million ag workers (most of whom are not US citizens).

Thanks for sharing mtone
