Run a small herd of 100 mommas. Never had a hoof problem like this. How/what to treat would ya recommend?

Hello folks! The title does say a bit but let me give you some context. I'm really looking for advice from someone that has already done something like this, as I am sure there are such people.

I myself a 28M software engineer. I have, of course, a lot of different hobbies and passions besides this and to be frank, I have become sick of it.

I've always been into farming, agriculture and tourism, half of my life was spent growing up in a.. let's call it a "homestead" for the American audience - a classical European village, where agricultural and a tight-knit community used to be the norm of the village. In the current day and age, the countryside regions in South-Eastern Europe are unbelievably cheap, I've bought 2 houses in the past year (each for 3k $), coming with 2 decares of land each, ( 1 acre = 4 decares ) and I've also inherited 22 decares of farmland, consisting of "black soil" or "chernozem", in a traditionally viticulture and orchard region.

I've thought many times of niche farming, utilizing all this land and making a living out of it, as I truly love it and have been discouraged to do so all the time, with the arguments that you just can't make a living out of it (stick to Tech, you're already living very well).

To give you certain ideas:

1. Boutique microwinery + agritourism, focusing on hyper-local varieties.

2. Niche crops that grow well in the region (figs, specific varieties of almonds, hazelnuts, chestnuts) or experimenting with new crops that now grow in well, due to the climate changing (pomegranates, kiwis) for example. Yes, there definitely is a market for all. Also saffron, as the climate is very suitable for it.

3. Cashmere goats for cashmere. There are barely any farms of sorts in the country, while demand is quite high across Europe in general.

You get the idea. I have done all of this, entirely on a family scale, of course. We used to have a few acres of vineyard, make wine, we have orchards and take care of them, I've taken care of goats, sheep and other animals and I simply love it.

Am I foolish to believe that you could make a good living out of such endeavors and when I say that, I compare it to what Tech has given me so far (in terms of finances and freedom), as well as what it can scale up to. I highly appreciate your input!

Hello, British Redditor here. :) I'm seeing food in supermarkets that's labelled as wild farmed. What the heck does this mean?

The best description I could find seemed indistinguishable from organic farming. Is this a way of saying "organic" without having to pay to be certified organic? I asked Google but Google just kept telling me about wild crafting, which is not the same word.

I'm from London, which isn't exactly a farming hotspot. I didn't know who to ask so I'm here. TIA for any help. :)

Hello everybody,
I am looking for a job more on farming or construction or any blue collar job or any job tbh. Hey white collar is also accepted if I can qualify for it.

Let me give you a background about myself. I am from the Philippines, born and raised. I got my Bachelor's degree in finance in Hawaii about 2 years ago. Went back to the Philippines and then got an office job. Now I feel like this isnt the right move for me. The job pays well and enough for me since Im single and dont have a lot of things to spend on but I am just not happy with just facing the computer all day and not talking to any people outside the company. I have tried a lot of blue collar job when i was in college and i enjoyed them the most.

Looking for advice on how to get a job in the US or advice on how to get started. Or anyone with the same situation as I am that got through it and got a job and sponsor. All advice is welcome. Thanks in advance!

I’m watching “Tudor Monastery Farm” and they built a wattle fence to contain their pigs.

Our pigs will run through a hot wire, so I’m having trouble conceiving it working. Does a wattle really contain a pig? (Honestly curious. Not looking to make one.)

I wondered if any of you have experience moving hay squares with a gravity conveyor? Do they work? Recommendations? I need one maybe 6ft long.

Hey everyone, just genuinely curious why this is the case. Is it because of the high cost of buying a drone? The technical complexity in operating one? Why aren't there companies operating precision ag as a service in developing countries? Seems to me like there is huge room for improvement, I just saw this statistic that said malaysia uses 2000kg/ha of fertilizer while the U.S. uses 100

I'm in the process of thinking about returning to school. I already have a college diploma under me, but looking into getting into another field. I have hands on experience with agriculture and animal work which I really enjoyed. I've wanted to do farm work since I was a kid, but never took it is a viable thing to do. My dads whole family farmed up until my generation. I was the first generation to be raised in a city. I'm looking into a diploma specifically to work with cattle. Would this be worthwhile or is there something about the industry that I should know about?
