As a 23-year-old born and raised in Middelburg, Mpumalanga, my love for farming was nurtured from a young age. Growing up on a farm, I drew inspiration from my grandmother's tireless dedication to farming. Her unwavering commitment instilled in me a profound respect for the land and a burning desire to one day own my own farm. My childhood vision was clear: to cultivate my own land, raise thriving livestock, and build a sustainable agricultural business. I dreamed of waking up each morning to the sound of birds chirping and the sun rising over my farm. Now, I'm turning that vision into reality. Last October, Ntokozo Masinga took the bold step of starting her own pig farm. It was a dream come true! She is also actively working towards acquiring land, driven by a strong passion for farming. My journey has taught me valuable lessons such as perseverance and resilience in overcoming obstacles. If you want to start pig farming but lack information, get a piggery manual with all the steps to take and information on how to raise pigs. The guidebook is both practical and user-friendly. Available in both hardcopy (R350) or PDF (R280). WhatsApp (078) 3122-675 to order the guidebook. To fellow aspiring farmers, I urge you to not let fear hold you back. Take the leap, work tirelessly, and believe in yourself. Your dreams are within reach. #piggeryfarming #farming #piggery #farm #agriculture #agribusinesses #agri #farmlife
