How to start a small farm

Featured Replies

Hi guys,

my wife (Thai) and I were planning to start a small farm for retirement. We were wondering where can we get non GMO feeds for chickens and clover pasture seeds for our chickens and hens. If possible where can we have find custom chicken feeds. 
greatly appreciate everyone's help and advice

I could be wrong, but I think they is no GM feed in Thailand ,but saying that your CP and Betagro import a lot of their raw ingredient for their livestock feed ,where they are sauced from I do not know .

I did see a UK farming mag showing a photo of a ship in the UK being loaded with wheat bound for Thailand that will be non GM

As for clover seed none in Thailand I have said before clover is a temperate crop ,will not grow in Thailand ,too hot.

Clover is a legume ,Thailand has legumes Hamata,Sentrocemar ,look at the Department of Livestock Development website (DLD) for seed .

Custom chicken feed should be easy to find most towns will have a shop selling ask around,my local shop sells chicken, pig dog and cat feed.

As KS said,go into a farm store and take a picture of supplier bagged chicken feed.

Contact that supplier to see what different blends they sell if shop keeper cannot tell you.

With a bit of hassle you could visit 3 or 4 different grain merchants and mix your own.

Not sure what is in chicken feed,rice seconds,corn,soya beans and rice straw?

Buying locally would ensure no gmo's or hormones added.

As far as ground cover goes,maybe buy a mix of grass seeds  and a couple of legumes to broadcast out and rake into the land.

Youtube is your friend,there will be plenty of Thai videos to see how the locals do it.
