Decision That Causes Failed Farm

The unsuccessful farm seems to be increasing at an alarming rate as more and more newbies coming into this trade.

.

Lots of them being a professional doctors, lawyer, a normal salary earner, or a successful businessman or a Ah Pek who sells salted fish in the wet market who wants to invest in Swiftlets farming and make it big, all of them shared the same mind and thought especially when it comes to decision making of who should they choose to undertake the construction, design and renovation of their shops or stand alone.

.

One of the common things they look into is the Rm cost on the quotation they received from their consultants. The Rm has become a decisive tool and as yardstick for successful farm. The skill and knowledge come secondary. I once told them you don't need to be a professional to have a successful farm. Most of them succeeded in their fields but failed miserably in Swiftlet farming.

They would pin point one by one which consultants are going to give more tweeters (rm 1.50each, penny wise pound foolish). How many humidifiers in farm, how many timers and so one. Does this matter???

.

Successful farm has got nothing to do with the above. Having 1000 tweeters or 50 tweeters and having 10 humidifiers or 4 humidifiers will not guarantee success. It is the skill of placing the tweeter at the strategic location and the type of tweeters. Whose quote is cheaper or more expensive also do not justify a success of farm..

IT IS THE SKILL.

.

.

That is why all of them shared the same thinking being a professional or a Ah pek, "who give more tweeters or the cheaper quote will secure the job".

.

.

.

As they are newbies their knowledge in Swiftlet farming is still in infancy but this doesn't prevent them to think Big. Being successful in their respective fields their confidence had made them not only think positive but a thinking of over estimated themselves. The common failed farm syndrome of “I sure win ". Most would think that a Refrigerator repair man or a Vegetable seller who are illiterate can make and own farms that harvest 20kg a month then what about me who is a professional. Swiftlets that fly into farm do not choose the owner all they want is a good farm and a good farm could belong to anyone.

.

.

.

The decision of choosing a right person to undertake the job is of most important. It is not what they can give or provide. It is what they can do, how good is their skills and knowledge?

.

Worse of all as time goes by perhaps a year or two after the farm had being built when the newbies had learned and acquired more knowledge then only they notice their mistakes.

.

If we want the failed rate to reduce in near future I guess all newbies should discard off the "I sure win" syndrome otherwise the failed rate will keep on going up.
