Ondanks sekere ongunstige faktore het Senwes goeie resultate in sy halfjaar tot einde Oktober behaal. Mnr. Francois Strydom, uitvoerende hoof van die groep, sê die afdeling vir landboutoerusting se prestasie was beter as in die vorige jaar en tot op datum was die verhoging in totale omset 74% hoër.
Suid-Afrika verloor elke vierde dag 'n plaas. Dit is volgens statistieke wat deur die hulpverleningsorganisasie Boeredroogtehulp SA versamel is. Chris van Biljon, stigter van die hulpverleningsorganisasie, sê redes hiervoor kan toegeskryf word aan verskeie faktore soos droogtetoestande en plaasaanvalle.
The ostrich is the largest and heaviest bird in the world: adult males can grow up to two and a half meters tall and weigh more than 150 kilos. Here in South Africa, the domestication and breeding of ostriches is fundamentally intended for the production of meat, skin, feathers and eggs.
Vleisprodusente sê die styging in die prys van rooivleis en varkvleisprodukte – wat die hoogste in jare is – sal in die eerste kwartaal van aanstaande jaar voortduur. Die bestuurshoof Johann Kotzé, het die styging in varkvleispryse hoofsaaklik toegeskryf aan duurder veevoer, wat tot 75 persent van die produksiekoste kan beloop. Die prys van lamsvleis en skaapvleis is ook aansienlik hoër as dié tyd verlede jaar.
Suid Afrika -Sommige boere in die droogtegeteisterde Noord-Kaap het ná ‘n 9 maande lange wag droogtehulpfondse vir voer ontvang.

As a sustainably farmed resource that stores carbon, wood is increasingly being used not only in the built environment for houses and high-rises but also for its cellulose, lignin and sugars.

Vir die meeste van hulle is planttyd in volle gang. Die tafel vir die res van die jaar word nou gedek, en alles moet betyds klaar wees. Dit is ’n voorreg om dit te kan beleef. Op pad Ficksburg toe ry ’n mens deur Senekal, ’n pragtige dorpie en seker een van min wat nog die meeste van sy bekoorlike, oorspronklike argitektuur behou het.
Een van die grootste struikelblokke wat Suid-Afrikaanse produsente in die volgende vyf tot tien jaar moet oorkom, is om steeds genoeg mielies te produseer terwyl dit lyk asof die westelike dele van die land weens klimaatsverandering al minder hektare sal kan bewerk. Die natuur het sy manier en maak nie saak wat die tegnologie is nie- water is die bron van alle lewe.
During the past season, logistics, and in particular the functioning of the main ports from where we ship our fruit, have been a huge headache during the initial and further lockdown levels in South Africa and abroad.

Die seisoenale aanvraag vir vleis bly stewig en weeg swaarder as die relatiewe hoër slagkoers in die lewendehawebedryf, wat normaalweg tot laer pryse sou lei weens die verhoogde beskikbaarheid van die produk. Die tempo van veeslagtings is tans relatief stewig met slagsyfers van beeste, skape en bokke wat heelwat hoër as 2019-vlakke is.
