No I do not come from a farming background. I don’t intend to live at the farm. I intend to recruit people to run it day to day (labor is still cheap in Africa)

- biztos 4y agoCool, any online resources you’d recommend? Any “ag-tech” you’re interested in for a small farm?
- dolajide 4y agoRight now, I am speaking with local farmers and putting everything in MS Excel and will use that to set up a management system. I am watching a lot YouTube best practices videos on the crop am interested in. When I have lift off at the traditional level, then will I add tech. Some ideas I have are around moisture monitoring using soil sensors to do JIT micro irrigation as well as pesticides applications. But these are still far off.
