How to start a Dairy Farm?

Do you dream of a peaceful life doing farming after retirement? Or are inspired by the stories of techies coming back from the US and starting a farm of their own?

Well, then we have something for you. Before you take the plunge and invest your hard-earned buck in an Agri venture, let us sit and talk.

We have a short one day workshop by the founders of Sids Farm Pvt Ltd, one of the top five organic dairy farms in India. Below is the event breakdown:

1. Shall I invest in a dairy farm? (10:30am – 1:00pm).

“When we started Sids Farm, we had no clue that all those excel sheets showing 100% return in 2 years and 50% year over year profit were written by people who probably never ran a dairy farm. Our returns never met the excels that we saw.”

In this session, we would talk about the economics of dairy farms. What takes more money, what takes less? What should you be wary of? How much return should you be expecting? What are the risks to the investment and why may your dairy farm fail?

2. Ok now that I want to start a dairy farm, what should I do? ( 2:00pm – 5:00pm)

“I wish I knew that I should grow grass for three months before even buying my first cattle”.

A lot of people fall in the trap of investing in the wrong things and end up cash strapped when the real-time comes. In this session, we will talk about how to start if you really want to start a dairy farm. What should you invest first in? How to buy cattle? Should you go to Gujarat to buy the first cow or just buy it locally? Will I find a veterinary doctor? Will my cow give milk forever?

This is a workshop for those who are just planning to start a dairy farm and also for those who have already made their business plans and are just about to jump in. This workshop is by the people who

have started the dairy with zero experience. While one of the speakers studied in IIT Kharagpur, did Ph.D. in the US and then was working as a scientist in Intel in the US, the other speaker has worked across the globe with various oil drilling companies and has more than ten patents in electric vehicles technologies.
