This place was more productive, scenic and highly automated longback.Even back in the 70s you would enjoy looking out on the train from Bulawayo in the morning or on the day train.Good to see an effort is being made but it looks far from its glory days.Was the most advanced dairy farm back then!
You are 100% correct. We had it as a case study in Geography at school in the late 80s. The place was a marvel to look at from a distance as well as from within. The green fields were amazing to look at. It was called the Computerised Farm....
I remember doing a case study on this farm in the 90s learning about automated feeding of animals with RFID chips to detect which animals had fed or not and automatically dispensing food to those that had not fed. It was a marvel and an inspiration. I just hope these will take it back to those levels of automation in good time and not remain rudimentary as they are now.
Disappointed you are partly giving up. When you get to UK, build up the farm structures, get the project running then come to manage a running project. Good luck.
Well done Doctor Makoni. Keep on doing what you are doing.
Well done we are also starting it's very interesting and informative
Watching from Kenya

its good to see production on the farm we hope it will be spared from the urbanization happening both sides. the glory days are certainly guranteed
This is inspirational
well done Dr Makoni
