Esude007:The 4 corners of my farm was plundered by thieves despite using thorny shrubs to fence it. It's just one of the challenges of farming. |

Off all things i fear in farming, its stolen harvest i fear the most...... Farmers are among the most monitored people in rural communities, if you dont have presence on the farm, you just fed the nation for free..... 3 Likes 1 Share |

I started noticing monkeys around the farm... Our dog killed 1... So we need to start preparing bfor they invade Monkeys are pest in maize farming, so to get rid of monkeys, below is a very good trick. Go to the market and get Ori( Shea butter) and unadulterated powdered pepper. Place the Shea butter on fire so that it will melt, then pour the powdered pepper and stir. Rub all the maize cob around the farm. Monkeys are known to be body scratchers, they will touch the maize laced with sticky pepper abd scratch their eye, prick and body .. U go see the way they go swear for u come live your farm in peace.... 16 Likes 1 Share

Esude007: My farm terminates in a river. I noticed a monkey on a high tree on it. It ended up ruining about 300 Maize cobs when I took count. I was mad seeing damaged crops. I later settled with the notion that we invaded their homes and they are part of Nature. The Money ended up not going too far, it didn't exceed 300 cobs. I took as a sacrifice to nature and better to leave them as part of Nature than kill it. I think we should settle for some loss to nature in-between o. Na we invaded their homes 3 Likes |

ActiveFarms:Those things are very wicked o. There was a time they almost finished my farm of about 1 acre. I had to put a scarecrow before they stopped. At another farm, a hunter I set trap and killed 3 of them but I barely got anything from the farm. They finished it before maturity |

Esude007: Any measures taken against Fulani cow in the plantation? Don't be surprised that before harvest, Fulani herdsmen will unleash their cow on the farm. |

Esude007: Any herdsman should be shot at sight, there on don too much, after all this they would carry there cattle to destroy somebody's farm, the useless government we have are not doing anything to ensure this stop by making them pay for the damage or sending the owners to jail. 1 Like |

Esude007: This is my problem with agriculture in Nigeria. We keep using toxic pesticides on our food chain that have been banned in other countries. Atrazine, Paraguay and glysophhates are banned in many countries but they are in widespread use in Nigeria no wonder cancer in on the increase and our exports are banned from entering some countries. 3 Likes |
