Series 1 - Ep 11: Chicken management, Coffee management and Brazil spacing
Welcome to Shamba Shape Up Uganda!
We’re in Kasaana village in Masaka and we’re visiting a very hard-working farmer, Mike Ssemaganda and his family, on his 20-acre farm.
Mike has 13 children and only stopped having more when his 3-year-old twins were born. He doesn’t believe in small scale, neither with family nor with farm! Apart from his 20 acres, our farmer has bought 80 acres of land 54kms away from his homestead, because where he lives, he can’t find such big stretches of land anymore. We told you this farmer doesn’t believe in small scale!
But we’re going to concentrate on this farm here, where he has two coffee plantations and 1700 chickens… 500 layers and 1200 chicks! And I’m sure he has challenges, so we’re going to look into that.
Let’s go and learn:
1. Chicken:
i. Housing, hygiene, spraying
ii. Feeding, vaccination, prevention of diseases
2. Coffee:
i. Old plantation management
ii. Brazilian spacing advantages and disadvantages
