The government launched a new feed mix program for farm animals in the Midlands. Farmers mix molasses, urea, salt, and leftover crops to make food that keeps cattle alive during dry weather. Just one sack of urea makes enough feed for animals all year long, much cheaper than store-bought options. Officials teach farmers how to prepare this mixture with a 12% protein content, helping animals stay strong when grass runs out.
Midlands wants to increase its cattle population from 900,000 to over a million this year. The area lost some animals last season due to a lack of rain. Presidential water drilling projects help provide drinking water for these herds. Farm advisors say that with both water and food ready, farmers can raise more cattle. The government started this cattle growth plan back in 2022 to help farmers earn more money.
