My Farm Projects This Year. by jospepper(m): 3:04pm On Apr 14 |
Good day Nairalanders, I created this diary to document my farming experience this year. I have read so many threads on crop cultivation on this forum and yearned to start something myself but the opportunity only came this year so I grabbed it with my two hands. My parents are retired civil servants and are practicing farmers. While growing up, we ate mostly what we grew on the farm and I am glad to say I became one of the farm hands from the age of six. So this terrain is not a strange one for me. I shall draw from my previous experience and from the knowledge I acquired from this Forum to execute this project. I pray for the strength to update this thread regularly. 1 Like |

FARM SITE SELECTION So I was able to lease four parcels of land in different locations close to the State capital but not far from each other. I got this for 36,000 Naira for one year. This particular plot needs no weeding as there are no grasses on it. 1 Like

Good morning guys. The past two days have been hectic. I have been out and about looking for labourers since tractors are not easy to come by. Yesterday I got about four boys from my work place who made 31 ridges for me. I only took care of their transport and feeding. 1 Like |

jospepper:Only 31 ridges made by 4 boys? Those boys are lazy or it's not their area of work. 1 person, especially those TIV's guys can make more than 100 ridges a day. 1 Like |

I was at the farm yesterday morning to supervise the clearing of the last plot. There was complete breakdown of peace! A man came to stop my workers that he also paid for the same plot. The boys too no gree so a fight ensued. So I intervened to calm down the situation and took the man to the house of the person I leased the land from. I discovered he collected money from the man too for the same plot. After much argument he agreed to give the man another plot or return his money. I was so disappointed in the man. 2 Likes |

I also bought 12kg of hybrid maize seed. The variety is Oba Super 6 from Premier seeds. This takes about 100 to 110 days to mature. A pack of 2kg is 2500 Naira. I plan to plant this on about half a hectare.
