CHOOSING THE RIGHT LAND FOR FARMING
Before buying fertiliser, seeds, or chemicals, secure the right land first. You don’t have to buy it, renting or borrowing can work, but make sure it’s suitable for the crop you want to grow.
5 things to check before choosing land:
1. Type of Crop– Make sure the soil suits your crop. Check what was grown before for better crop rotation.
2. Distance from Home – Farming needs supervision. Don’t rely on phone calls, be there often or else you risk failing.
3. Labour Availability– In places like Manolo in Mzimba, Vumbwe, Thyolo, or Mchinji, people may be busy with their own farms when you need help most.
4. Water Access – No water, no harvest. Ensure there’s a river, well, dam, or reliable rainfall.
5. Roads & Security – Easy access is important. Avoid areas with theft, disputes, or bad roads.
Good farming starts with good land.
