HI all,

This is Gokul.s A MBA graduate ,left job and wanna start farming,My family has bought a 5 acre farm land in kollegal,karnataka..please kindly suggest the type of plants to sow and reap benefits..

Water is good in the well ,water over flows from well during rainy season,its 40ft well ,25ft to 30 ft water during summer. :)

soil type is red and very lightly black.no cultivation has been done for past 2 to 3 yrs by past owner. :-\

please tell me if inter cropping can be done...if yes what plant to grow suggest me some regular crop with 3 months interval and some long term trees,
I plan to plant some teak and rose wood..in some part of the land or at border of the land

Also kindly suggest solar powered motar to pump water,we already have a 5 hp electric motar but only 3hrs variable current makes life difficult.
Is it possible to connect it with solar for any time irrigation. :-\

we have 50 to 70 coconut trees with no watering & maintenance. it not dead but no shells grown in trees..can we revive it by putting FYM or any organic products.. :-\

I want to do organic farming only...am also interested in contract farming.can i get a family to stay in field to take care the crops.

Am Totally New to Agriculture.

also any other suggestions by the experienced are welcome. :)

Thanks & regards,

Gokul.s :)
 

Hello Sir

Before planning for any crop pls visit the nearest Horticulture college or horticulture department.As if dont have any experience of farming a practical view will always be useful.

Hi Gokul,

I am Padmanabhan Ganesan and I have created a blog specifically for people like you(new to agriculture). You will get an overview of the possibilities and you can decide based on the information available.

Also, since you are in Karnataka, you should seek advice from experienced farmer liker Narayana Reddy. You should be able to locate his contact in LEISA magazine or search in web.
