Beekeeping and goats sounds like a solid business plan. Go for it champ
>>
>>61240102
are you being ironical or serious? i think goats are the safest source of revenue. Bees are lest reliable one year over the other

I don’t like the idea of beekeeping because you will attract bears.

Goats are one of the most finicky, difficult to keep alive farm animals. They get riddled with parasites, the die if it's below 40 degrees F and get wet, the stick their heads in everything and choke to death, fencing to contain them is expensive and they're more likely to escape than any other livestock, every predator bigger than a fox eats them, they'll eat anything including equipment and poisonous plants then die, you have to constantly rotate pastures of forbs or the parasites explode, deworming is a constant battle, you can plant forage with anthelmintic properties but if they eat too much they get sick, and you can't graze them on grass like cattle or sheep because they'll get sick.
>but brown people in shitholes raise tons of goats
These are all nomadic or semi-nomadic herders. They're constantly moving their herds so the animals don't get sick, and constantly guarding them against predators. To keep goats healthy in North America without much medication or lots of work, you need at least 10 acres of good browsing in a dry climate for every 3-4 goats. If you keep only one goat it gets depressed and dies.

Much easier, but prone to colony collapse.

If you want to make it easy on yourself grow open-pollinated corn, preservable vegetables, and chickens. Maybe buy a couple of feeder cattle every couple of years if you have land for them.

Don't be retarded. You cannot get solid revenue with animals. Use them to feed yourself. Start a garden. Get RABBITS and CHICKENS before you get a fucking goat. You have soft hands.

If you want to make money start a nursery. It's a racket. Get connected with landscaping companies.

Profiting off of farmsteads is a bit tricky, I wish there was an easy way, but it really depends on who you can sell too, living close to a big city or focusing on delivering by mail. Honey is simple tho.

Goats are assholes, milking them is harder than cows, and if you're going for meat, only specific cultures really partake in it. That can be a boon or a problem depending on where you are.

I'd look into growing stuff, or mushrooms (dried) can be good. But that depends on your climate and potential market. Feeding yourself is way easier than trying to turn a profit on it.

you cant fuck chickens or corn

Meat prices on goats have been rising for a while along with the population of filthy browns, but why try to make money from livestock on nightmare mode?

I've gotten more pleasure from my moderately sized garden, it's produce and the work there, than any financially related activity or anything money can buy. Go for it, use modern methods and tricks and you will help yourself and the society more than you imagine

You just lack imagination

Goats will over graze if you don’t have enough land…more money in beef

checked and truthspoken, do it OP!

As gay as being a programmer is, it’s way less work than being a farmer. Unless you made it off stock options and are ok with losing money it’s better to just neet and buy food from the store

Programming isn't minimum wage work. Leave your job, become a baggie at Wendy's and you will KILL for your old job back.
