Farming in Northern Thailand (Phayao) NOT rice


Recommended Posts

Beef cattle if there's any variety that can take the heat (not buffalo)

This is done very successfully ( both beef and dairy ) at Farm Choke Chai, south of Korat.

Worth a visit, a tour and a fantastic,( but expensive) steak dinner if you are in the area!

I always thought turnips would be a crop to consider, in the north, during the 'winter''. Chiang Mai has enough of a farang population that that potential market is there, and if that does not work, they could be sold for cattle, horses, and pig feed/snacks

To long a growing season ,and they like water ,ok if water available ,would have to be a farang variety,imported seed I would say the fungal diseases / insects would finish them off.

In the uk they use to be a autumn /winter feed for cattle and sheep I would think CM not cool enough.
