Hy-breeder Farm First Solar Pump

I woke up today quite late because I had a very busy day yesterday. In the pursuit of my business as a catfish farmer, I am always looking for ways to keep improving, and one major thing is to also reduce the cost of production. As a fish farmer, one of the very most important factors you do not joke with is Feeding and Water.

Feeding is very important in livestock farming, and it could potentially determine your profit or loss and the amount of time it would take to attain maturity or the desired age. To reduce the cost of production as a farmer, I could either formulate my feeds or purchase them. To buy feeds, you can either buy locally made or foreign-made. I currently purchase my feeds from different vendors depending on the feed size. Each method have their advantages and disadvantages, and reducing the cost of production is something that would require alot of time invested, as many other factors that could affect it might be out of one's reach.

Water, on the other hand, seems small when compared to feeding, but it’s equally important. Their environment needs to be clean, both physically and chemically. I recently had to run my water analysis to know its effect on my hatching production (to know if it's suitable for hatching). After this was done, I needed to solve the issue of having enough water because I had little or no light to pump, and without water, no fish.

I was initially depending on pumping my water using fuel, but it was affecting my cost of production (as I was rationing the rate at which I would pump water). Then I decided to switch to gas, which was better than the fuel, but it still had not drastically reduced the cost of production. A farmer friend had once introduced me to a Solar pump, and it was something I was considering, but the cost of purchase and installation was quite high for me. So I had to save up towards it.

Finally, I was able to gather enough, and I reached out to my farmer friend, and we eventually installed the Solar pump. At first, there was a little complication, but it was resolved, and I was able to use it efficiently. Now, looking back at the cost of production, I could tell that this would drastically reduce the cost of production in the new year to come (all things being equal), as I would currently split the cost of it across my total productions this year.

Things might be a little uneasy until I get my bearing but it’s worth it, and I would definitely advise any farmer or anyone else in need of it to work towards purchasing it.
