my experience in horn farm
i worked with the farm manager andrew and some volunteer they daily tasks change from day to day part of the knowledge about removing weed we removed manually, and one it call creeping thistle to removed it we must moved deep from root to not came again and catch after remove the soil to not harmed by thistle and if there is high weed we used a lawn mower.
one day we put the straw rolls around the farming places to make a walkway around the cultivated places.
When planting Andrew soaked the grains before planting them in water and we used a seed planting tool to make a spacing ruler between the seeds.
and in the beginning of summer they sell flowers ,baby vegetables at pot plants.
I studied for four years at Cairo University in Egypt, Faculty of Agriculture, Horticulture Department
which includes specialization in vegetables, fruits, and ornamental plants. I graduated with a good cumulative general grade. This specialization was in the fourth year. During the first three years, I studied part in agricultural mechanization and part in animal anatomy. I attended courses in Dissecting goats, chickens, and mice, ending with dissecting frogs, which I practiced for some time, then part about insect sciences and geochemistry, from analyzing the land to determine the percentage of salts in the soil and other nutrients, and part about plant tissue culture, genetic engineering, the use of agar to multiply cells in the laboratory, and the use of the microscope.
Rabbit production in Egypt is a special project.
I raised rabbits in batteries made of galvanized wire. I know the types of batteries, which one is suitable for any space, and the advantages and disadvantages of each type. As for the rabbits, they were different types. I raised New Zealand, chinchilla, mountain, and country ones, and I used to do crossbreeding in case the rabbits were sold as meat to butchers. The sale is per kilogram, and this is the most sale, but the least gain. As for the good sale, it depends on the age and type of the rabbit, and this is done for the farmer to renew and strengthen the breed. In this type, I keep the rabbit breed pure, and I was contracted with the Ministry of Agriculture in Egypt, where an agricultural engineer, a worker, an accountant, and a worker are sent to receive the rabbits from my farm. Keep a notebook for each rabbit with a record of its age, weight, vaccinations, serums, and vitamins that it has taken and should take.
