I am an animal scientist by profession and I have passion for commercial dairy farming. My parents were dairy farmers and that's how they managed to educate me. Consequently I developed passion for commercial dairy farming.
I currently have a dairy farm and I managed to start a dairy farm from my salary's savings. I need to hire 10 acres of land to plant fodder for the cows. This will enable me to grow and commercialize the farm.
I work with a vet pharmaceutical company and I expect to start earning from my dairy farm soon. I have several in calf heifers in the farm which will be lactating in a few months time.
I look forward to a establishing a successful dairy farm that will be a leader in milk production in my area in and impact the community positively through provision of jobs
I plan to use the loan to buy iron sheets, nails and to hire labour to build a store for my dairy enterprise.
The store will ensure that I have enough feeds for my dairy enterprise subsequently increasing production and income from my dairy enterprise.
I also plan to use the dairy enterprise as a model farm for training farmers on what they need to do to increase their production in dairy farming.
