Hello farmers in house, i am a fresh graduate who has 4 acres of land i wish to go into farming on. However i have a challenge, the farm land is always waterlogged whenever it rains. During dry season the farm land is absolutely fine.

Please i need suggestions on anything that can be planted that would be best suitable for the waterlogged farm land and also survive well during dry season.

I would sincerely appreciate all suggestions.

Rice

Thanks, the challenge why i don't want to go with rice is the cost of irrigation during the dry season. The land is not water logged during dry season, it is only water logged with continuous rain (rainy season).

What is the depth of the water log and for how long does the water stay on? If it's not too deep, u can use raised beds/ridges, other wise u can use a rigged pattern that will dispose the water as quickly as then form. That way u can plant any crop of interest.
