jethro2:Aunty, I know ur antecedents on nairaland so I won't oblige u. Please note that my statement was not meant to be an insult. If everyone decides to buy and resell agricultural produce, then who will do the farming of what they are to buy? Do not discourage would be farmers with such comments, even though I must admit that u are partially right. sometimes (unfortunately too) it is true that middlemen make much more than the farmer. 4 Likes |

obstead200: Okay, nice meeting you. I know it is not easy being a farmer and the middle men/marketer just like /wish to fleece all the profits to themselves alone and that is why i want to down the gap. Nice meeting you once again. |

Good morning followers. Just to update you about my groundnut farming. Planted 1st of may but the rain has been erratic due to climate change because until now, we haven't experienced regular rainfall and i pray it doesn't affect the crops negatively. From the attached pictures, noticed the germination rate of the groundnut is 70% compared to 95% the seller told us. cc jethro2 ZEPHYREN Hasib04 wiseone1111 mankettle DonCarlos1 miracle139 DeLaRue obstead200 Adedokunworld IRIENBOY

jethro2:.....For a farmer who s not well versed or lazy in thinking,...of not all Nigerian leaders and creme de la creme, wouldn't be spending their cash and investment on farms ,there is a secret behind their actions,cud still remember,the former Governor of Adamawa State ,Muritala N'Yarko, saying he derived nothing less than,9billons annually from his mangoes farms alone , does he need to be a agricultural middle men to achieve that ,..?..only that agricultural middle men save you stress and long time,to make profit unlike being Farmer originally,they both make profit 5 Likes |

Re: Groundnut Farming At Abeokuta by zainabicy: 6:17am On May 20, 2020 |
emmaodet: bro, please constantly update this thread with your reports. we would all like to learn from you. dont be discouraged by the naysayers...even if it doesn't all work out well, you would learn from the experience. |
Re: Groundnut Farming At Abeokuta by emmaodet: 6:37am On May 20, 2020 |
zainabicy: Not at all ma. I will constantly update the thread just that am stuck at work and my manager is the one sending me the pix. After lifting the lockdown and am home, will be updating regularly. So far, the major challenge we have been having is this erratic or irregular rainfall due to climate change, it's really crazy and i won't have bothered myself or noticed if i haven't been into farming. By this time of the year mid may, we should have been having regular rainfall even from march sef but now, the last rain at Abeokuta was last week thursday, very pathetic. I planted the groundnuts 1st of may and had to do a replanting on 13th may for those that didn't grow because the germination rate of the seed i bought is 95% while i noticed 70% practically, so i had to replant the 30% again. I'm already preparing the land for the second/late planting in july for the second batch and will correct my mistakes from the first one in it. Thanks for caring. 4 Likes

emmaodet:Hi, I think I have a lot to learn from you bro. Well, I wouldn't mind learning from you. When did you buy the groundnut you farmed? Would it thrive better in Benue or Ogun state? Can I PM you please? |
Re: Groundnut Farming At Abeokuta by emmaodet: 11:03am On May 22, 2020 |
UndauntedYOCA: Ok sis. Bought it in april but planted 1st of may. Are you based in benue? Are you tiv, idoma or igede? My manager is igede and he has been the backbone of the project. Ogun state grows a lot of groundnuts at imeko, ayetoro and igbo-ora axis and that is why am trying my hands on it now. I heard from a reliable source that for improved seedling, samnut 24 thrived best in benue while local seeds can also still be used. In Ogun state, samnut 21 and 22 thrives more for improved seedlings and lcal seeds still do fine too. |
Re: Groundnut Farming At Abeokuta by UndauntedYOCA(f): 11:16am On May 22, 2020 |
emmaodet:Lol, I'm from Ogun state o, serving in Benue state though but will be done next week. I don't know much about g/nut o but I've just tried my hands on 8 mudus, that's about 64 mudus lol. Now that I've just read your thread I'm thinking of trying it out. I'll PM you now. |
Re: Groundnut Farming At Abeokuta by UndauntedYOCA(f): 11:19am On May 22, 2020 |
emmaodet:How much would it cost to do the one you're currently doing? Minus and plus harvesting. |
Re: Groundnut Farming At Abeokuta by emmaodet: 11:24am On May 22, 2020 |
UndauntedYOCA: 130k including cost of leasing the land. It is 1 hectare or 2.5 acres of land. Duration is 115-120 days maturity. Expected yield - 2 tons after been shelled. Well to me, this is still on paper or theory. Will find out from my experience. Price of 1 ton of groundnuts - 150k, so total expected revenue - 300k |
Re: Groundnut Farming At Abeokuta by emmaodet: 11:26am On May 22, 2020 |
UndauntedYOCA: Ok. You are from Ogun state or based in Ogun state? Which part of Ogun are you based? and from? I married an ijebu lady. The groundnuts you planted, how many did you harvested and who did you sell it to? And price? |
Re: Groundnut Farming At Abeokuta by Barusho: 2:19pm On May 22, 2020 |
Am from Ogun state Abeokuta precisely. 1) I would like to ask where did you get the tractor for the farm work? 2) what is the planting cost for the 2hectares? 3) where is your farm located 4) how much is used for fuelling the tractor 5) Do you mind if I can have first hand experience on your farm, if possible help out too. 1 Like |

Re: Groundnut Farming At Abeokuta by UndauntedYOCA(f): 8:15pm On May 23, 2020 |
emmaodet:Wow!!! I don't have that much yet, maybe plantain would be better for now. |
Re: Groundnut Farming At Abeokuta by emmaodet: 8:53pm On May 23, 2020 |
UndauntedYOCA: Ok, no p. In benue or Ogun? |
Re: Groundnut Farming At Abeokuta by emmaodet: 8:56pm On May 23, 2020 |
UndauntedYOCA: Yes, maybe you should stick with plantain for now or any garden plant like cucumber, water melon, tomatoes, pepper, ugu or okro etc. These garden crops are less expensive to grow, short duration to harvest like 6 weeks after planting and doesn't take too much land to make good profits unlike food and cash crops like groundnuts, rice, rubber, palm trees, cocoa etc 1 Like |
