If you are sincere in regards to mentoring then you should have follow up and pursue that in your beginner stage before you even started.
I have 24x330ml x 3 cartons of Stout... I find my own way for my pleasure EMS from Bangkok every month, I don't depend on folks here..... But I totally appreciate friends like Craig, Daniel, Annie... Who EMS me a few packs when I'm out.
You asked me and I was willing... but you went your way..... It is cool...

You STILL don't get it do you ? It Is Not About The Liquor. You just need to ......
-
and I thought you would come with a bottle of wine or something...
-
Forget about the FCR... you will get Jaundice Disease outbreak.
-
The prices are fixed, there's nothing you can do... Finding alternative feed protein is not going to help with FCR, just a waste of money... If you got it wrong, you have got it wrong. It will take a long time to find out how to get things right...

The prices for this period (for hybrid Big Oui) is range between ฿40- ฿45 in Chiang Rai, we up north are paid the highest due to high transportation cost of commercial feed.
Nobody else will get ฿48 in other province...period~
Market will bounce back around new year - January period.
-
NETT ! Because I got my own network... and my network of wholesalers drink ฿500 of liquor per harvesting day.

The FCR range of CP feed is 1.51:1 - 1.538 :1... (tested with 1 pond... with insurance for failure)
For hybrid species Big Oui
If size pla bo (as in jumbo size 2,3) is 37, it is a loss;
Pla yang (as in roasted) is 40, it is a loss;
The rest .........
For Pla duk Latsia
Pla bo is in the range of 35-38
Pla yang is also within the above mention price range...
One needs to understand the supply and demand and also the previous year/s market history. While everybody is stuck in the queue waiting their turn to sell their ponds and ponds of fishes, I'm in the clear rearing my fingerlings for next year harvest on the March period... (hybrid - Big Oui)
I sold my last batch of 135'000 in August for the 48/kg... and then I have no fishes for raining season, I stop raring ! (because I know this is the time the bubble will burst with people jumping into the wagons and the outpour of river fishes flooding the markets)
Everybody jump in when the supply is short and farmgate price is exceptionally good... the bubble will burst and everybody will get caught eventually.
Good luck and happy farming~

nitecm family live in the mountain area of CM, we've met as he had visited me for inquiry in raring Big Oui catfish (hybrid). The price he got is the price I got for a grade A feed in term RRP (Recommended Retail Price)... My "Premium grade" feed (not grade A ) is slightly lower because I am a "6 wheeler truck" bulk buyer at "factory price". In CM and CR (northern most) the transportation cost is higher hence the expensive feed price. His market (niche) is mostly cater to his wife own community, so sizes doesn't matter.

Grand MIL got 800 trees... after variable cost of 200'000 Baht, she is left with 600'000 of pocket money for a whole year.
-
Usually it is contract purchase at 1'000 Baht per tree at one viewing... if agree... wholesaler bring his harvesting team in...
-
Fruit straight from a tree tastes different from fruit from a supermarket.....
Maybe the same for rice?
Being a Chinese, I eat rice all my life. Grow up eating Royal Umbrella Jasmine rice...milled aged and pack in plastic bag 5 kg export. Move here permanently 7 years ago, have been eating aged Hom Mali (found out back then Jasmine rice is Hom Mali) Which is store in 50kg polymer sacks. Taste the same to me.
The opposite applies to sticky rice, the new rice from harvest is best, quality deteriorate when aged.

Same thing with my wife, she is just simply uncapable of preparing small portions of food....
Thai rice is bad enough when freshly cooked, fancy eating it the day after.
We have very happy (and fat) dogs though!
"Thai rice is bad enough when freshly cooked,..."
Depends on what strain of rice you eat... Hom Mali 105 is the BEST rice I have eaten (After a year storage, minimal 7 months).
But I do agreed if it is Khor Kor 15 strain, not nice even after long storage to mature the paddy.
The above mentioned refer to steam rice... not sticky rice.
...and I'm Asian grew up eating rice... not potatoes...
How can I recognise this particular rice? Where to buy it? Any brandnames?
Thanks!
I have never thought of it since I move to Thailand..... Sorry, because I lease my plot to the UIL and get a third of the harvest every year. I eat the past year stock and let the newly harvest mature. What ever I don't eat is sold and my wife use the money to buy Sticky rice.

In customary
In the past, cattle are offered as part of dowry in the rural. I married my wife with a dowry of cash ฿99k, 9 Baht of gold (roughly ฿6k+ back then) and 9 cattle.
In faming
Year 1999, I invested 10 pregnant cattle to be bred and raise into a big herd and ended up with 110 cattle in 5 years.
The UIL had a hilly plot of 35 rai. We made a plan to raise cattle. The locale community mind-set of raising cattle are view as putting money in the bank and earning interest every year... sort of like a "fix deposit" on long term basis.
As per tradition in the case of the owner not being the caretaker... the 1st born calf will goes to the caretaker and 2nd year born calf of the same mother cow belongs to the owner...and the cycle repeat itself of that same one mother cow. The same thing apply to the offspring's (owner part), but not apply to the offspring's of the caretaker who usually sells his share yearly when it reaches 11-12 month old.
In my case, the caretaker UIL agreed to my proposal regarding his share of calves (from the 10 original mother cows), after the 3rd year calves were born (that goes to him)...the 4th and 5th year calves will go to my wife. The contract is for 5 years only and we would sell all the cattle.
Breed and auctions
It's true that some cross breed are auction and champion Brahman bulls often fetches millions of ฿. Was in the news back then that one was auction for 10s of million ฿ by enthusiastic breeder/collector. (Can do a search and also TV had a few Brahman cattle threads too)- 2

Agreed RBH. There has been a sizable investment in medium sized pig farms. Modernising and improving from traditional village stys by younger players looking to the 2015 start of the AEC. Neighbouring countries as well so when trade does open up the game will change. What to? Time will tell, but I think I would not be buying heaps of growers just yet.
Generally on this topic, farming is modernising and mechanisation is the way forward. Buy it or hire it, but labour won't be cheap if available at all.
I asked... Most younger players (in the villages)..... "AE What !?!!" " Not my problem~ Tell NCPO"

It's been long an Asian thingy... Chinese and Thais call it heaty/heatiness (ron nai ร้อนใน).
Western term it high level of metabolic rate. Chinese term it heatiness, seems to happen when you consume a lot of heaty type foods (can do a search for them), hot weather, not drinking enough water, drinking too much coffee, chocolate drinks, some types of chinese soups with special herbs meant to nourish the bood (usually meant for pregnant or anemic women). The best state is to be balanced. Not too heaty or cold.
It causes nose bleed, mouth ulcers... fever.
It is more of a Chinese and Thais terminology... Caucasians do get heatiness too but they just don't have the concept of "heatiness". So there is no use of such "blanket" terms to describe such problems. It's usually described as sore throat, digestive problem, etc.
Coconut and watermelon are cooling fruit, Black jelly aka Chow Kway and Beer are cooling too.
Durian, Longan and Mangosteen are consider heaty fruit... Too much Guinness Stout causes heatiness too.

Well, I suppose that sucks the chocolate off Oz! 5555
I hope the forum continues. But as has been said before change is normal. Things seem a lot easier to find these days, definitely more choice than a few years ago. Good luck all, especially for your rubber guys. Pigsters stay tuned to your current "windfall" market just in case the leaves start falling.
"Windfall" will be gone soon, hurry... Shake the trees now and start pilling those leaves.

That was the cost of me mentoring you...remember ? Or would you rather pay me in the hundreds of thousands THB which I charge ?
You asked me and was suppose to come and meet me for discussion but you didn't... you went ahead and start... it was your own decision.
You have already move in your own direction, just do it. I've done the path of trials & errors, it is heart breaking and discouraging I know... No self pity, just man up and be head strong... 3 years down the line, you will be able to put into good use what you have learn and you will be making good profit.
