PROCEDURES TO START A FARM
The First Step to assemble A self-sufficient farm integrated into the area of determining S. The Right One for each installation nail of the farm areas, keeping in mind that when fertile soils people son is possible how to use smaller tracts of land; and when these are not, they require a larger area.
The next step is built in the house for the family. This must be much more hygienic (manufactured with Ojala materials from the region) and with a good availability of water, natural light, and surrounded by a pleasant environment. It is convenient to build a dry latrine (WC), for excrement humans, which son A simple source of organic fertilizer for pastures and fruit.
There are two priority factors to highlight at the time of planning the farm: the agro-ecological conditions, it is feasible, what line of agricultural production and livestock is the right one in accordance with the conditions of soil, water, climate and other available factors in the region ; and the Market Conditions, that is to say, that Farm O field products, armored DEMAND in the market il margins offer economic Profitability to the producer.
One of the definitions is this, which is recommended to be used in water for the farm. Every agricultural operation requires water; both porn, and can be used in quantity and quality of this sa will know how much can be produced. : In addition, it is necessary to establish a missing reservoir, a hay that a well build in a pond, and has springs in outcrops.
All this must be determined in a timely manner to plan the form of rational use and protection that will be given to these sources.
It is also necessary to prepare a map of the terrain indicating the slope and the physical characteristics of the soils; these last ones are appreciated making pits or pits in which the depth of the layers or horizons is observed, the texture of these, the presence of hard layers or rocky mantles, the depth to which the water rises (freatic level), the presence of salts and other aspects.
Soil samples should be taken from the entire farm and taken to the laboratory to carry out the corresponding physicochemical analysis. A technician will help interpret it and make the most appropriate decisions about the use that can be given to the terrain.
On the map, all the information collected must be consigned and the areas destined for fruit trees, vegetables, cutting grasses, etc., should be distributed. For example, for agricultural buildings you can allocate the land that presents hard layers; Those areas with slopes are better for fruit trees;
in hard layers
the soils with better conditions will be destined for the sowing of vegetables and aromatic plants
areas with poor soil, for recreational areas. It is essential to foresee the problems that slopes, rainfall, drainage, soil type, winds, adjacent roads, etc. can cause.
From the beginning it is necessary to establish protection and recovery plans for forests, rivers, streams, springs, fauna, since these constitute the hydrographic basin that maintains the microclimate of the area. Likewise, the care provided to the soils, such as contour sowing, live barriers, belt crops, vegetable coverings, the incorporation of organic matter, proper drainage practices and reforestation, will ensure optimal maintenance of those.
