What is poultry farmland suitability?
Poultry farmland suitability is your estimation of if a particular plot of farmland is able to host your planned poultry project.
Why is poultry farmland suitability important?
Suitable poultry farmland is land that meets your planned criteria for success.
It’s got to tick the boxes.
It must outright answer the question, “does this land have what it takes to help my farm deliver results?”
Definitely, size and dimension are key.
But also:
- aspect
- exposure
- proximity to amenities
- biosecurity
…amongst other key features.
All play a vital role in providing optimal conditions for achieving your planned poultry farming profits.
If your proposed farmland underperforms in any feature, this will only serve to delay your business payoff.
So making the right land selection to start with is a determinant of your return on investment.
Example
Best practice
Produce an optimal checklist
Desirables vs. essentials.
This is the kind of simple checklist you want to have to hand when assessing land for sale opportunities.
You always want to be very clear from the outset of what the components of the optimal deal are.
Know what you can and can’t cope without.
Set your sight of what works for you.
Set your budget
Your poultry farming project report will help you outline a strict budget for land acquisition.
The project report will do the job of pinpointing at which level of investment your ROI is gained.
The benefit-cost ratio of your poultry farm will show you how future projected cashflow will measure up against capital costs like land.
Don’t go into the property market – unless you are certain about your budget.
