kickstart Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Remind me not to employ him as my farm manager, as for planting in October, odd time would be to wet, if he uses a planter it will soon get bunged up with soil. Around here February -May seems to be the optimum time for planting, and water the crop in , unless he has no access to water/irrigation. When you rent the land out for cane does he pay for all 3-4 years up front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoongfoned Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share Posted July 8, 2018 around us people always plant from end october, heavy rains stop usually end sept beginning oct, with a little bit here and there till end jan. the land soon goes rock hard/dusty... no this guy pays one year up front every october, other guy pays at the end when he gets paid feb/march time. new guy is having to take out 20 odd rai of 12+ year old rubber tree stumps and clear alot of brush land on the 50 ish rai, so for this land is paying 1000 baht per rai, (first year)other land that is ready to work is 1500 baht pe rai. other guy "only" pays 1000 baht a rai but has to much land in cane and cannot control all properly (he farms many 1000's of rai each year) and also has other businesses that take up his time. i did ask the old guy to pay 3 years up front but he says no can do.... he must loose money on the wifes land as it returns very little per rai after the first cut. ie low maintance and very little vits... from what i see the new guy spends money on the crop and gets more back per rai, still around us 1 rai will only return 7 ish ton, max out at 10 but many @ 2/3 ton.555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
