Produção Agropecuária

Abstract

To develop our project, we carried out a technical visit at Fazenda Santa Cruz, located in the city of Andradas-MG, in the micro-region of Poços de Caldas. The region is characterized by being a territory that is 100% Atlantic Forest biome. The property has a total area of 110 hectares, and its main crop is coffee, with a planted area of 43 hectares. The property still contains corn production for silage with 13 hectares (currently leased) and another part for the production of corn for grain on 10 hectares (currently leased). For pasture, today we find 45 hectares on the property. The farm does not have a high technological level, citing an important fact which is the use of photovoltaic energy. The property does not have any strategic planning and controls management in a very outdated way. With the influence of the volcanic soil, the climate is characterized by being tropical at altitude.
