Cow Economics

[Guest guest]

Following is the text of a letter from Lavanga Latika prabhu in Raigad India

that I received yesterday:

"A friend of ours who is a research scientist in Agriculture and an independent

consultant in organic agriculture and who was at the Daund ISKCON farm for a

few months advising them, was just visiting and he told me how he was at the

Rajasthan Goseva Sangh working with them for 10 years. At first by selling

their milk and raw cowdung they could barely make ends meet, but last year

following his plan they earned 32 lakhs from cow urine medicines and selling

composted gobar in bags. They have their own clinic for cow urine medicines. He

can really teach a lot of valuable things for cow protection. He says of

primary importance is cow urine, then gobar, lastly milk as a side product.

 

In Daund he said that they grew 13 acres of wheat only on cow urine spray and

had a wonderful crop . Now somehow I have to get the figures of how many tons

of wheat and times of spraying from Sanat Kumar who is in charge there. This is

very important to know how to use cow urine. For growth just 5 % in water is

used and for pest repellent 10%. We are starting cow urine medicine here with

our devotee farmer who is just getting over malaria with a temperature of 105.

So there is a lot of hope for the future in cow urine and dung. Never mind the

milk.

 

I got in touch with Sanat Kumar and they grew 6 tons of wheat with 10% urine

sprayed weekly on the crop. Our friends name is Manohar Kahke , he is MSC but

did not learn anything of value in college but by practical experience in

organic farming."
