Successful farming requires knowledge of many aspects of farming, including:?Weather and climatic conditions, suitable seeds and seedlings, markets, good agricultural practices, etc.
But I will focus on weather and climate.
Many years ago, the rainfall pattern to which we were accustomed began in March, continued through July (June and July were the wettest months, especially in the southwest), broke in August, and then continued until September. It was supposed to start again in the next month. In some areas, it lasts until October or November. That has changed now. The new August downfall break is now July, and according to statistics from our different farmers, the downfall in August of former times was lesser than that of June and July all together. According to information from former times that we obtained from our farmers, we should get a harmonious?downfall through October (maybe twice a week). What does this mean for original?growers and agrobusiness possessors? Planning your ranch operation in accordance with the new norm will help you avoid crop failure, as all the timing conditions for raising particular beasts and crops will alter. Throw off your outdated rainfall knowledge and make your plans now. I also hope that our husbandry preceptors will revise their primers and begin educating our scholars about contemporary reality. You must also alter your books as an agripreneur, planter, or possible investor in husbandry if you want to reduce failure.
