Yildiz:can you teach me beans farming? More power to your elbow. |
Re: My Cowpea Farm In Kano by Yildiz: 5:37am On Jul 15, 2017 |
GreatNegro:Well that was my initial plan but it is getting so difficult. I visited IITA and ministry of Agric but they don't have the variety I want. Also I realised that IITA buy seeds something from people that planted a particular variety, sort it and sell back to farmers as certified seed. This whole seed this is discouraging. So I decided to get seed from local seed companies 1 Like |
