Where can I get advice on goat keeping?
Editor,
I found the recent Harvest Money article on goat keeping very interesting. I would like to get in touch with Dr. Mathias Wasswa, the goat expert from Makerere Univeristy Buyana stock farm. I’m also very interested in chicken and would like to get in touch with poultry experts for advice. You can contact me E-mail, or phone.

Dear Otim, Dr Mathias Wasswa’s contact is 0772925801
To learn more about keeping goats and chicken, you need to visit experienced farmers. Since experience is the best teacher, you have to learn from their experience.
You will then avoid some of the mistakes they made when starting out.

From where can I get turkey eggs?
Editor,
I stay in Jinja, and would like to start rearing turkeys on a commercial scale. I wanted to start by hatching the eggs myself. Do you know anyone who might be having turkey eggs to sell? I will be very grateful, if you can link me up to such a person.

I need advice on farm planning?
Editor,
Thanks a lot for Harvest Money pull out, which always gives me something to look forward to every Tuesday.
In one of the recent issues, farm expert Thomas Semakula talks about farm planning, but unfortunately he does not give his contact, and does not tell us where we can get farm plans. Please avail us with the contacts of people who can give us farm plans, especially dairy farming on zero grazing system.
