Why do small holder farmers mostly succeed in farming over commercial farmers? Is it because of the size? Answer: 1. Autonomy exist in small holder farming which doesn't exist in commercial farming. The small holder farmer makes informed decision on location, time of action, input sourcing, procument, executing interventions and taking prompt action on an individual basis. He takes responsibility for financing, approval and management. This sole responsibility for decisions and executions avoids delays, quickens progress, and prevents sabotage. 2. Commercial farmers rely heavily on finance to farm, small holder farmers rely heavily on seasonal onset for farming. 3. Commercial farmers depend on the creative resources(ideas, machines and technologies) for farming, small holder farmers depend on the orders and programming of nature to farm. #RAP #RightAgribusinessPractice, #RightAgronomicPractice
