Agriculture Opportunities In Transvaal Promising Yet Shaped By Mining
The Transvaal’s vast mineral wealth overshadows farming prospects though new notes from the New Ireland Review highlight broad agricultural potential. Wheat, barley, oats, various cereals, tobacco, maize, fruit growing, dairy, pig farming, and poultry are cited as viable, with climate favorable for pasture seeds. A warning is issued about foreign seeds carrying fungi like Sclerotinia trifoliorum, urging seed purity and local sourcing to protect clover crops.
