Dear Diary,

15-8-2023

I harvested my groundnut last week Saturday (11-8-23)
I sold the leaves for 15k to one of my customer turned friendship in Abuja.
I took the main groundnut to the market guess how much they're pricing it diary
Them want buy full bag of groundnut for 8k they'll now sell it for 15k

I told myself God forbid Bad thing, immediately I carry phone come call one of my customer turned friendship from Onitsha
Without mincing words she said Maryam abeg send the groundnut come,my people want buy 1200 per bucket.Hausa go say dama dama

I sent it to her at 25k per bag, she'll sell and send me my money.

Diary! Did I hear you say;you send bags of groundnut to person wey you no know?

This life ehn, our lives work with the theory of attraction.I am attracted to only people of like minds,mere phone conversation already showed me the personae I'm relating with

My mode of business thrive well with referral and no matter how busy I may be,I know who refers who In my clique

Furthermore diary,
How you take reason this my groundnut matter? Make I gain from selling leave to animal come loose from selling the main groundnut.Olorun Maje o,Impossicant something right?

Lesson:

* Farmers are not the ones directly gaining from their sweat but middle men are; and that's the reason why the farming sector is losing its glory.

* Farmers are not motivated anymore, imagine a farmer hoarding their goods to create artificial scarcity Reason why things are overly expensive even during harvest as epitomize in modern era.

*After calculating money for farm input and output can't commensurate,you become demoralized.More like an effort in futility.

Regardless of this setbacks aforementioned,we keep on thriving and praying it gets better someday in earnest maybe with good leadership and a more dynamic approach towards the Agricultural sector.I foresee An Agrarian Revolution even though I'm just a mere mortal.

Good bye diary,
With so much Love,
Keju

Dear Diary,

My two months old corn is now fully matured we roasted some today.

The plan was to sell off initially but we're now thinking of allowing it dry on the stems.The rate at which people drink akamu in my house is alarming, plus yellow corn has its own Vibes

Once upon a time, people usually say new corn is not good for pap unlike it's old variant but I'm beginning to doubt some folklore because my pap is the real definition of perfect.

Hitherto,the beans has sprouted in other locations as well and we can't help but pray for a bounty harvest.

Yeah!
I did 365 days without buying beans for home consumption, it's a big deal in this age and time

The way I prepare for storage this year though, imagine having 5 PIC'S bags stand by;

Diary,if only you knew that the genesis of beetle infection begins from the farm,the very first day after beans harvest

I don't think I would love what happened in 1925 to repeat itself

A stitch in time saves Nine.
Good night diary,

How do you get the beans you plant? Is it the normal beans that we cook that is bought from the open market and eat, or you patronise seed companies.

I plan to intercrop maize and beans on one acre this April. Is this a good move?

Labour is very expensive in my city. I'll ask other farmers maybe they'll know what I can use.

This is the picture of the beans I intend to intercop with. The northern honey beans.

Since labor is an issue use Paraforce for your stubborn weeds.

Yes I have seen a farmer cultivate honey beans close to my farm last year,it was great.
Big big seeds.
I will be cultivating a fraction on my land this year Insha Allah.

Someone was telling me not to plant beans this early that rain will not allow it to dry for harvesting. I also saw where you mentioned something like that.

I was thinking the pods will always turn brown and dry on the plant, regardless of the rain.

Please DON'T do that.
Intercrop Peanut with maize instead biko.

Second quarter September,you can intercrop Maize with Beans by then you've gotten good quality maize at home from the first harvest because the second one may not thrive as the first one.
Personal Experience Though.
