Dear Mr. Hegde,
We, few Farmers jointly planning to start Farming activities approximately in a 250 acres of land which Farm Yard Manure (FYM) requirement is estimated to 2500Tons per year and considering a Dairy Farm in parallel not only to provide cow dug for FYM but also to produce biogas to support required electricity production to run pump sets etc. Could you please advice the following
1) Start a dairy farm in a small scale and gradually develop into large scale?
2) Cow Farming or buffalo farming which one is better?
3) What you think if we start farming with male buffalos only (for cow dug purpose and buffalos can sell for meat) to avoid milk marketing hassles etc.?
4) What will be a project cost for a medium size dairy farm?
Best Regards,
Wilson
