Part 3/8:
Andrew emphasizes the importance of renting or borrowing equipment as a cost-effective strategy. He shares his personal experience of renting various tools and machinery when needed rather than committing to significant purchases when the use would be limited. In doing so, farmers can allocate resources more efficiently.
Moreover, being handy can turn significant expenses into manageable projects. Andrew recounts his efforts to construct essential infrastructure, such as feed bunks and animal shelters, using repurposed materials. This do-it-yourself mentality not only cuts costs but also fosters a sense of accomplishment.
