“Every healthy chick in the brooder is a farmer’s small investment growing wings.

Give them clean water, quality feed, warmth, ventilation and good hygiene—because chicks don’t understand ‘I’ll check on them tomorrow.’ 😄🐥

Take care of the little ones today, and they can pay you back tomorrow!

🐔 3 Broiler “ANTICS” Every Farmer Should Know!

Broilers may look simple to raise, but they have behaviours that can quietly affect growth and profitability:

1. They hide illness.
Broilers often continue eating until a disease is already advanced. Watch for reduced movement, isolation, drooping wings or changes in droppings.

2. They can overeat and overheat.
Fast-growing broilers produce plenty of body heat. Too much feeding in hot weather, poor ventilation and overcrowding can trigger heat stress.

3. They follow the crowd.
If one bird finds a good feeding or drinking spot, others quickly gather there. Poorly positioned feeders or drinkers can therefore cause crowding, bullying and uneven growth.

Smart farmer: Don’t just feed your broilers—observe their behaviour every day. Their actions can tell you a lot before problems become expensive.

The power of soybean farm inspection

02/09/2026

A good soybean harvest starts with regular field inspection.

Walking through your soybean field is not just about admiring how green the crop looks.

It is an opportunity to check plant growth, spacing, w**d pressure, pest damage, diseases and signs of nutrient deficiencies before they become serious problems.

Farmers, don't inspect your field only when something looks wrong. Make regular scouting part of your farm routine.

Look closely at the leaves, stems and soil, and don't be afraid to check inside the crop canopy.

Early detection gives you more time to make the right management decision and can save you money on unnecessary chemical applications.

A healthy-looking field today still needs attention tomorrow.

Good farmers don't just plant; they observe, inspect and respond.

How often do you walk through your soybean field to inspect your crop?
