Emu farming or greedy farming...

Recently there was a news in tamilnadu that the most lucrative EMU business was a bogus

I was really anticipating the downfall for a long time and was happy that it happened finally.

Today's tamil society don't know anything about farming or animal husbandry. They are following western media and conning ideas like this.

I myself asked a basic question when my neighbor started a EMU farm
1) If there is a product there should be a market, who in the world eats EMU meat ? :)...
2) Is there any track history in our tamil hostory where people did farming of such birds/animals ? Our pattan Raja Raja Chozhan conquered all islands of the pacific and also reached Australia, definitely they would have domesticated these if they were adaptable to our climate and good for our diet.
3) Any where in world do we see EMU decoration products or cosmetics ?
4) Any-other developing country doing this business ?

No is the answer, right away we could say its a fraud.

Please check these points when you ever start a agricultural business

People on average spent Rs.2,00,000 to Rs.15,00,000 on this business and are cheated and they blame the EMU farms and government for this. It is a daring mistake of these poor farmers and they should take the blame.

If they had invested this money in a proper goat farm or country chicken farm or they could have leased a farm and did some organic farming ,they would be earning descent sum of money by now.
But they didn't want to do these business because they give only slow and steady growth. These are not as fancy and prestigious like EMU farming.
This is a lesson for all our people who run behind

1) quick rich schemes
2) fancy and prestige business
3) Ignoring our ancestral business and knowledge
4) No common sense




Now its very sad to hear that these EMU are starving to death. Its a carnivore and hence the fit birds are eating the young and weak bird. Think about the mental suffering the farmer would go through ?

Brothers and sisters please listen, becoming rich is very easy if you believe in sustainability, act with some common sense and have a self control of not being attracted to fancy advertisements. We are already being cheated by global corporates and politicians. Each and every rupee is created by our sweat and we don't deserve to lose that to these wolves. Please wake up and lets make wonder

Im not here to tease or enjoy the failure of my brethren but to give a wake up call for them.

Now its time to think optimistically. These people got biased when they heard about the profit and bought all EMUs and now they are again doing the same mistake of getting biased on hearing the panic news and are selling the EMUs. Instead they should find a way to use these birds and do some profit.

1) EMU park :

Farmers should open their farm to public and schools where people can come and feed and sped some time with them. Here in USA there are very small ranches making a lot of money out of this business. A small portion of the park can have facilities like small snack shop and places to relax and read books. It would really attract people.
Also you can have combination of multiple animals with EMU where people can interact and feed them



2) EMU Ride :



EMU birds are capable of pulling cart as ostriches do. If we think innovative surely we can extract its strength. It will definitely attract people to try once. There are people out there to try horse riding in beaches and why wouldn't someone not try this ?

3) stuffed EMU :

Stuff EMU birds and create artistic dolls, surely these majestic birds will be a decorative piece to a hotel or mall or even houses. It can be sold to museums and school and college science museums. Again don't make mistake by creating monotonous statues, it should be highly creative so that it is really attractive and can be sold for huge sum of money.

4) EMU manure :

All farmers should board these birds together and form a group and send these birds to be penned in other farms for manure. They can get paid for each day a bird is boarded for the manure. This is just an idea, I don't know if this is possible.

5) EMU as a pest controller :



Lets say if EMU is good at catching rats, lets identify and prove that. Some research should be done on this. If this is possible lets promote all farmers to keep one bird in a farm house to clean from lizards and rats. This would create a steady market for these poor birds.

These are some of the ideas which I thought of, if you all think and brain storm you can come up with much more ideas than this and surely convert this loss to profit.
Don't think you are done and give up. There is a way from any point in your life and there is an answer for every problem in this world.
