Hey everyone,

​I have a ~25,000 sq. ft. plot of land in Kotdwar, Uttarakhand.

​Since traditional crop farming doesn't make much sense on this scale, I’m looking for practical agri-business or allied farming ideas suited for a foothill region.

​What commercial agri ventures or high-demand setups work best for a plot this size? Would love to hear your suggestions and what has worked well for you. Thanks!

I’ve been thinking about starting something in agriculture/agri-business on a small scale, and I’d love to connect with people who are interested in building something together.

I’ve seen quite a few posts from people, especially those working in corporate jobs, who want to get into agriculture but don’t know where to start or don’t have the right resources.

I’m not only looking to work with corporate professionals. If you’re interested in agriculture and have an idea, skills, experience, or even just the motivation to build something, I’m open to connecting.

A little about me:

I come from a farmer family

I have access to farming land

I have hands-on experience with farming

Labour is available at relatively low cost

I’m willing to start small and learn along the way

What I’m missing right now is a good idea and the right people to build it with.

Maybe you have an idea but no land.

Maybe you have business/marketing/tech skills but no access to farming.

Maybe you’re working a corporate job and have always wanted to try something in agriculture.

Or maybe you simply have an interesting idea that you think could work.

Share your idea or tell me how you could contribute. Even if you’re not sure whether it would work, I’d still love to hear it.

I’m not looking for people who just want to discuss ideas endlessly. I’d like to find a few serious people who are willing to start small, test something, learn, and build together.

If this sounds interesting, comment below or DM me. Let’s connect and see what we can build.

Hey everyone,

​I own a large piece of land in a tourist destination that has been experiencing a significant surge in visitors lately; homestays are consistently full.

​My goal is to build an integrated farm-stay resort. Instead of just a standard hotel or farm stay, I envision an interactive experience where guests stay right on the farm, pick their own fresh vegetables, catch fish from on-site ponds, cook their own meals, and even participate in wine brewing.

​The plan includes:

​Modern horticulture and organic farming

​A fishery setup for recreational angling and fresh food

​Cosy resort cottages for guests

​Where things stand:

I already have the land ready to go. My main bottleneck right now is startup capital for the initial construction and farming setup. Government schemes have been a dead end with all the red tape, so I’m looking for a private investor or co-partner who has capital to deploy and is interested in the agri-tourism space.

​I'm completely open to discussing profit sharing and stuff. ​If this sounds like something you'd want to back, shoot me a DM.

I have a piece of land with a small built room of around 100 sq. ft. that's currently unused.

I'm considering using it as a pilot project for mushroom farming. My idea is to start small, learn the process, understand the market, and if everything goes well, invest in building a larger grow room and scale up production.

I've been researching the basic ~ humidity control, temperature management, ventilation, and creating a controlled environment and I believe I can set all of that up in this room.

Before I invest, I'd really appreciate advice from people who have experience with mushroom farming.

Some questions I have:

• Is a 100 sq. ft. room enough to experiment and learn properly?
• Is mushroom farming worth getting into in 2026, or is the market becoming too competitive?
• Should I first take formal training from a government or private mushroom cultivation center, or is self-learning enough?
• How difficult is it to find consistent buyers?
• Roughly how much should I expect to invest initially, and what kind of returns are realistic?
• If you were starting today, would you still choose mushroom farming, or would you recommend a better alternative that can be run from the same 100 sq. ft. space?

I am willing to connect with fellow farmers.

I’m working on setting up a small-scale biomass pellet manufacturing plant in North India ( UP - UTTRAKHAND), and I’m at the stage where most of the groundwork is already done.

Land is sorted.

Raw material procurement has been worked out.

Machinery and production setup have been researched and shortlisted.

I’ve spent quite a lot of time studying the economics, moisture, GCV, production losses, storage and logistics rather than simply assuming that “biomass is the future” and jumping into it.

The initial plan is to start production at roughly 20–30 tons/day, using locally available wood biomass, primarily a mix of hardwood sawdust.

The plant is being planned with two machines, giving us the ability to scale production to roughly 70–80 tons/day as demand develops.

Our initial target is around 4,200–4,500 kcal/kg GCV, with low ash n moisture content, although the exact specification can obviously be known with lab test of product.

The reason I'm posting this now is simple:

Before committing the final investment, I want to know what the actual market thinks.

If you currently use coal, wood, biomass briquettes/pellets or another solid fuel in a boiler/furnace, I would really appreciate your honest feedback:

What biomass fuel are you currently using?

What GCV/moisture/ash specification do you require?

What price are you currently paying, delivered to your plant?

What are the biggest problems you face with biomass suppliers?

Is inconsistent quality really as big a problem as people say?

Would you consider trying a new local supplier if the product specification was consistent?

And if there are industrial users here who are actually looking to buy biomass pellets/briquettes, I'd be particularly interested in hearing from you.

I'm not looking to take advance orders or make unrealistic promises at this stage.

In fact, my thinking is the opposite:

If I can find genuine users before commissioning, I'd rather understand their requirements first and build the product/operating model around real demand.

For the initial customers, I am also prepared to keep the pricing very transparent and as close to actual production + reasonable margin as possible, rather than trying to maximise margin from day one.

If you're a boiler/furnace operator, procurement person, factory owner, biomass trader, or someone who has actually run biomass fuel in an industrial setup, I'd genuinely value your experience.

Even if you think this business model has a problem I'm overlooking, please tell me.

I'm still at the stage where honest criticism can save me a lot of money — so I'd much rather hear it now than after commissioning the plant.

fala pessoal,

sou estudante técnico e tô no meio do TCC, então vim aqui pedir uma força.

o projeto se chama FieldNode e resolve um problema bem específico do agro: colheitadeira trabalha em área rural, boa parte sem sinal de celular nenhum. aí a máquina começa a esquentar, vibrar diferente do normal, e ninguém sabe até ela quebrar de vez no meio da lavoura. prejuízo de milhares de reais numa parada só.

a ideia do FieldNode é simples na cabeça e chata na execução: um ESP32 lê temperatura, vibração e RPM da máquina e manda pra outro ESP32 via ESP-NOW, sem depender de internet nenhuma. esse segundo ESP32 vira um gateway de campo, mostra um dashboard local pro supervisor no celular pelo próprio wifi do dispositivo, e quando a conectividade volta, sincroniza tudo automaticamente com uma API em Django + MySQL, com retry e deduplicação por UUID pra não duplicar ou perder leitura.

no estado atual já tenho:

• ingestão de telemetria via MQTT funcionando
• modelos e validação da API em Django
• scripts de população do banco pra testar cenários

repo: https://github.com/Desmantelar-bit/fieldnode

o que eu queria de vocês:

1. code review — principalmente na estrutura da API e nos modelos, se tem coisa que já cheira mal pra quem tem mais estrada
2. arquitetura — o fluxo MQTT até o backend faz sentido? tem gargalo ou brecha de segurança que eu não tô vendo?
3. colaboração — issue apontando problema, PR com melhoria, crítica direta, tudo é bem-vindo. o projeto é open source

o README tem o passo a passo pra rodar local. valeu quem parar pra dar uma olhada 🙏

I’m selling agricultural land in Madhya Pradesh next week, with the payment being made by bank transfer.

As the seller, I’ve been told that at the Sub-Registrar office I mainly need to verify/sign a few documents and complete the biometric process.

This is my first time selling land, so I’m a little worried about fraud or something being written in the documents that I might not notice.

What should I specifically be careful about as a seller?

• What should I verify in the sale deed before signing?
• Are there any clauses that sellers commonly overlook?
• What documents/records should I keep after registration?
• Is there anything specific to agricultural land in Madhya Pradesh that I should check?
• What happens afterwards with mutation/dakhil-kharij?

Would really appreciate advice from people who have actually sold land/property in India, especially in MP.

Hey everyone,

I’m exploring the idea of starting Stevia and Lemongrass cultivation on agricultural land that I have access to. I’m still in the research stage, so I’d really appreciate some practical advice from people who are already doing this or have experience with medicinal/aromatic crops.

I’m particularly interested in understanding:

Is Stevia cultivation actually profitable at a small/medium scale in India?

What kind of initial investment, yield and ROI can realistically be expected?

What are the major challenges climate, irrigation, pests, harvesting, labour, etc.?

Who are the actual buyers? Is it better to build a B2B model (herbal companies, tea manufacturers, nutraceutical companies, extract manufacturers, etc.) or explore B2C products?

For Lemongrass, is it better to sell the raw crop or go one step further and look into essential oil/distillation?

Most importantly, how do you secure buyers before investing heavily in cultivation?

I’m also looking at this from a business/partnership perspective, rather than simply growing a crop and selling it in the mandi.

For example, one person could handle cultivation/land, while another could bring expertise in farming, processing, market research, sales, or B2B buyer connections. Eventually, it could potentially become a small farm-to-market business rather than just commodity farming.

So if anyone is already growing Stevia/Lemongrass, working with buyers, running a processing unit, or seriously considering getting into this, I’d love to connect.

I’m open to partnerships if there’s a good fit and someone wants to explore this seriously together. Feel free to DM me, especially if you have practical experience rather than just theoretical knowledge.

Also, if you’ve tried Stevia or Lemongrass cultivation and decided against it, I’d be equally interested in hearing why.

What other things do you think I should research or validate before putting money into this?

Looking for honest feedback positive or negative.
