Avoid These 10 Silent Profit Drainers on Your Farm

I’m sharing ten common farm mistakes that quietly drain profits. No matter your experience, spotting these errors early can save you thousands. 1. Incomplete Record Keeping I often see farmers estimate expenses without proper records. Detailed logs of costs, mortality rates, feed schedules, and medications help you spot issues before they escalate. When a vaccine fails, a record book reveals the product used and guides your next steps. 2. Fluctuating Brooding Temperatures The first 14 days are critical for chicks. Maintain 33–35°C on day one and reduce by about 2°C weekly. Too cold causes suffocation; too hot leads to stress and poor feed intake. Correct temperature control protects your investment from the start.
