Managing Dairy Farming With Ease

“Adopting modern methods in dairy farming can make the work much easier. Our family manages all the work together. It is enough to work for two or three hours in the morning and a couple of hours in the evening. Even when no one else is at home, I can manage all the work on my own,” says Asha.

Patience And Systematic Management

“My brother also started dairy farming with me, with 20 cows. However, he stopped midway due to the increasing workload and the challenges involved in managing the farm. If you are patient and work systematically, nothing will feel like a burden. If you store around 40 tonnes of fodder, you can feed the cows at home for six months. I grow fodder on a portion of my four-acre land,” says Asha.
