What is poultry farmland availability?
Poultry farmland availability is the range between the scarcity to the abundance of farmland that could be used for your poultry farming project.
Why is poultry farmland availability important?
Your project needs a basecamp.
Without being able to secure the right land set-up for your poultry farm, all the planning in the world would be a waste.
You need to know from as early on as possible in your planning that you can actually host the planned operation adequately.
It’s a key component of feasibility. (Knowing that the necessary land is within touching distance.)
This makes your plan a genuine possibility. All that’s needed next is actually obtaining the thing.
Presumption is a friend of disappointment.
But knowing the land you need is there and ‘up for grabs’ will encourage you in pressing onward to achieve the dream.
Best practice
Speak with brokers
Get to know some property brokers in your region.
They are the market makers of the real estate sector.
Sellers go there first.
As a potential buyer of land, it, therefore, makes sense to get on the alert list or books of good quality brokers in your chosen region.
Independent brokers often uncover the hardest to find properties, so be prepared to dig deep.
Look in online communities
Search online for buying and selling property exchanges.
These often present niche opportunities that would rarely surface on the open market.
Forums are another useful source of property sale referrals.
Sellers directly post their ‘for sale’ ads.
Also, friends or direct contacts of the seller may post for sale details on their behalf.
Get to know some agribusiness consultants
Independent consultants in the agribusiness sector and surveyors are a great outlet for niche farm property sales.
Their job is to help farm owners improve strategy, profitability, diversify etc.
But they also happen to be among the first to know when a farm or agricultural property is going to be up for sale.
Get acquainted.
Social media listening
Twitter and Facebook are great ways of tapping into personal networks to discover unique investment opportunities.
Do a little listening.
Search for keywords like ‘poultry farm for sale [your area name]’ or ‘land for sale [your area name]’ in both of these platforms.
This way find out the most current conversations which could lead you to find what you are looking for.
