Two-Wheel Tractors in Ghana

A two-wheel tractor, also known as a walking tractor, is a versatile and affordable farming machine widely used in Ghana for small to medium-scale agricultural operations. It features two large wheels and handlebars for steering, allowing the operator to walk behind while controlling it. Powered by a diesel or petrol engine, it can be equipped with various attachments, such as plows, harrows, seeders, and trailers, to perform tasks like tilling, planting, irrigation, and transportation. Its compact design makes it ideal for navigating narrow fields and terraces. Popular among Ghanaian farmers, it boosts productivity, reduces manual labor, and is cost-effective for rural farming communities.

We have been to quite a few vineyards over the years, but hardly did we ever come across a small scale winemaker like James who managed to bring so much passion and taste to the table 🍷🍶 From growing and production to fermentation and ageing. Never have we been so educated 📚 We particularly enjoyed the @alphaexcelsior 2018 Shiraz and 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon. Nevermind the excellent olives from their Orchard. #winemaker #winemakers #clanwilliam #cederberg #farmstead #homestead #farmhousestyle #farmlife #redwinelover #cabernet #shirazlover #shiraz #cabernetsauvignon #westerncapewines #winelands #winetastings #winetasting #smallbusiness #smallbusinessowner #smallscalefarming #westerncapetourism #cederbergtourism (at Alpha Excelsior Farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqSeD1Ps8c_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 1️⃣: Introduction #newyearsamehomestead Hi All! I'm not sure if I've ever done an introduction post 🤣 but I'm Rebeka and that's Josh in the picture. We LOVE Kunekune pigs 🐖 and have 24 permanent residents including 2 house pigs Ripley and Riley, some retired pigs, and then our breeding stock. We do an Airbnb farm tour called Cuddle with Kunekune Pigs and it's always a huge hit. I'm originally from Hawaii 🩴and always wanted a farm. My dad, Dennis, grew up on a farm in upstate NY and always wanted to retire back on the farm. In 2013 we had the opportunity to purchase 10 acres, with a nice house, plus a 4,000 SQ ft metal building with a 2 bedroom apartment built in. It was the perfect setup and Halbert Farm was brought to Texas. In 2016 I met Josh who grew up in Texas and never dreamed of having any animals besides maybe a dog. That quickly changed when he learned that going on a date with me meant working outside till the sun goes down. I work in the IT field 👨‍💻 from home and Josh does the farm full-time 👨‍🌾 now. I'm also in the Navy ⚓ Reserves. This is my 20th year and I'll retire in November! We have an Etsy shop with Kunekune Pig related merch. (link in bio) The goal is to have the farm be our sole source of income. We have 3 dachshunds, 2 Kangol Shepherds (livestock guardian dogs), 2 horses, 1 donkey, 7 zebu cows, turkeys, guineas, ducks, and chickens! I ride English and compete in the sport called eventing 🏇with my horse, Selma. Josh and I both figure skate⛸️, we started that hobby a year ago. Josh competes in body building 🏋️‍♂️ competitions and does personal training. We show the chickens and pigs, maybe one day the cows. I think that sums us up. ☺️ . . . . . . . #farmlifeisthebest #smallfarming #farmlifeforever #eventing #figureskating #supportfamilyfarms #smallfarmlife #farmingfamily #kunekunepigs #farmraised #farmlifeisthebestlife #farmsofinstagram #smallscalefarming #farmanimal #supportyourlocalfarmer #thankafarmer #animalfarm #farmingphotos #urbanhomestead #happychickens #lifeonthefarm #farmerslife #supportlocalfarmers #farmliving #smallfarm #farminglife #urbanfarming #homesteading #chickensofinstagram (at Halbert Farm Kunekune Pigs) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm7yyHKLyYX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Walking Tractors In Zimbabwe

Walking Tractors Zimbabwe, also known as two-wheel tractors, are compact and versatile agricultural machines widely used in Zimbabwe, particularly by smallholder farmers. Equipped with a single axle, they are operated by walking behind the machine, making them suitable for plowing, planting, cultivating, and transporting goods. Their affordability and adaptability to various terrains make them ideal for Zimbabwe’s diverse farming landscapes. Walking tractors are typically powered by diesel engines and can be fitted with attachments like plows, harrows, and trailers. They play a vital role in enhancing productivity, reducing labor intensity, and promoting sustainable farming practices in rural communities, especially in areas with limited access to larger mechanized equipment.

The places where you still find #homemadefood are great for a health lifestyle. The old machinery to make the food is still around and used by small family business. This is #soymilk and it's sold out within an hour. #demystifyhealth #makeyourfood #smallscalefarming (at Khao Tao Lake Huahin) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAzDyqrpbOh/?igshid=1h1avkk5dvxrl

Papaya is the easiest and most rewarding for beginners to grow. This is because papaya germinate fast and grow extremely tall in just a few years. Starting papaya from seeds indoors is easy, with good care after two years you will have an established plant to produce fruit, But first off all you have to know that to grow good papayas you need a frost free climate, lots of sunlight, lots of water and very good soil. To have a good success always check whether papayas will thrive in your climate...READ MORE>>>https://organic-vegetables-lovers.blogspot.com/2021/05/starting-papaya-from-seeds-indoors.html

GM! 🌞 Started a family project and I’m so excited! Gonna grow these to-mah-toes!... My daughter can consume up to 4 per day, and prefers them to ANY other food, candy, or drink in the whole universe. So, I had to create solutions since trips to the grocery store have been divided by 5. Anyway, I can’t wait to see her face when she sees tomatoes on a vine in her own yard! ❤️ So, I am formally requesting some help. I bought them. Now what? Yeah, I will google it but I prefer the help of my Earth loving pals I know to exist here on Instagram. I will water them...eventually 😬. I will feed them dessert...first 😌. But how often should they be watered? Sunlight? Lots of it? When do I re-pot? How big should it be? Put all 3 in one pot? Regular potting soil? Green Thumbers - help!🌱#growingtomatoes . . . . . #smallscalefarming #agriculture #farming #organicfarming #farmtotable #sustainablefarming #ionlyknowhowtogrowhumans #tomatoes #plantsofinstagram #plants #greenthumb #growyourown #naturelovers #urbangardening #botanical #urbanjungle #plantsmakepeoplehappy #growingfood #growwhatyoueat #gardening #growyourownfood #nature https://www.instagram.com/p/CAQUgveBr6m/?igshid=15037udf1f26t

Repost from @farmersfootprint To be a truly successful regenerative farmer, you have to also be profitable. Caring deeply about human health, climate change, and holistic agricultural practices alone is not enough to sustain family farms and ensure their long term success. But the good news is, regenerative agriculture is the best way to have a farm that thrives financially. And even large companies are catching on. Last year, @GeneralMills committed to supporting the transition of 1 million acres of farmland to regenerative by 2030, “By fostering natural nutrient cycling, regenerative agriculture practices can reduce the need for expensive chemical inputs. Regenerative agriculture practices can also build whole farm fertility and resilience over time, supporting healthy yields and reducing the resources needed to combat system stressors like pests, natural disasters, and diseases.” From small to large scale, it’s our mission to both educate and help support our farmers as they make the transition into regenerative farming practices. We must let farms know that they can not only make a difference for future generations - but that they don’t have to do it alone.
