Becker Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 As the wife and I have some cash available we thought we'd try our hands at becoming wholesalers of corn and rice. Both crops are grown extensively where the wife hails from and getting a plot of land and setting up the required infrastructure (the storage silos/barns, weight scales etc) should be straight forward. Has anyone on TVF done this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmerjo Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Member Wayned is involved in a Co-op. He might be able to give some advice. Huge commitment required to make it work with a rice and corn enterprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooked Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 A neighbour started up and stopped after a few years. My wife looked at the idea and decided it involves, as stated above, a LOT of investment. I would get fire insurance and get friendly with the friendly village mafia... Another neighbour takes about a hundred tons a year, has an old fashioned rice mill and is doing OK but he rears pigs and has other sources of income.
