Thank you, sis! 🥰 Based on our recent harvest, we produced around 86 sacks per hectare. The average production cost is about ₱40,000 per hectare, which already includes planting, fertilizer, pesticides and herbicides, irrigation electricity, labor for fertilizing and spraying, harvester fees, hauling, and other miscellaneous farm expenses. We sold our palay at ₱22.50 per kilo, and with an average of 60 kg per sack, our gross income was around ₱116,100, leaving an estimated net income of about ₱76,100 per hectare. Of course, this still depends on the weather, the selling price of palay, and other factors, so every harvest is different. 😇
That's very interesting and nice, I love to have a farmland for our retirement plan. I love to live in a farm because as we grow older we like to be in a quite, fresh air and do vegetables gardening as an exercise. I love your farm life sis and just enjoy your life because you are living now the life that I want.
Thank you so much, sis! I'm so happy that our farm life inspired you. I believe that living on a farm is one of the best retirement plans, yung feeling gigising ka sa mga huni ng manok at ibon, it's simple and peaceful..
But to be honest, there are also seasons when the harvest is not that good. Not every harvest is abundant sis, so we just keep working hard, taking care of our plants, and trusting God's timing. That's the reality of farming, there are good seasons and challenging ones, but it's always rewarding in the end. I hope that one day you will have your own farm too sis.
In God's time and if it is his will that we could have a farm to enjoy in our retirement years with my husband. Right now we are living in the city in a subdivision. The air is not like that in the farm, not safe for our lungs. So each time we go out from our home. I wear face mask to protect myself from dust and smog. So hopefully we can have a farm soon sis.
