Soybean can be successfully grown in many states in Nigeria But am gonna be growing it in benue state Soybean cultivation in Nigeria has expanded as a result of its nutritive and economic importance and diverse domestic usage I for one love the milk drink. It is also a prime source of vegetable oil in the international market. The rapid growth in the poultry sector has also increased demand for soybean meal in Nigeria. It is good also for soil fertility improvement and Striga control.

First step in planting soybeans is land selection, it's the most important factor to consider followed by seed selection and that's why the whole of last week was used in analysing and viewing potential lands for cultivation, finally a Heactre was selected and paid for at a price for a 1 year farming season.. Pictures will be uploaded tommorow as work starts on site, measuring, clearing and killing of non economic trees 1 Like |

Good evening all, today not much was carried out, land was supposed to be cleared but the labourers had promised another client they would be working for him today, I kinda wanted snatching them but it's all good we all settled so my clearing starts tomorrow instead of today... Time planned for cultivation is a week and 3 days that's by next weekend our seeds would be in the ground... |
Re: My Soybean Farming Dairy by willybaby(m): 7:47pm On Jul 16, 2020 |
Below are pictures of the 1 Heactre land before clearing.. Some non economic trees would be killed also, the land has been farmed on for the past 10 years only once. 1 Like

NOTICE Please anyone with info on where I can buy quality improved soybean seeds should do well to halla, I'd really appreciate, actually the person I planned buying from I heard a lil bad news about him and the quality of seeds he sells, so a second option might come in handy.. the seeds can be bought from anywhere and transported to me Thanks.. |

Re: My Soybean Farming Dairy by halimzytohfresh(m): 8:20pm On Jul 17, 2020 |
willybaby: yeah...get rid of the tree...soybeans doesn't like sheds.... your land looks fertile... make sure your Soybeans shouldn't be the one harvested during raining season last year...such is only good for oil production not as seedlings.. it won't germinate well... I grow soybeans too |
Re: My Soybean Farming Dairy by willybaby(m): 10:05pm On Jul 17, 2020 |
halimzytohfresh:thanks so much your advices are duly noted |
Re: My Soybean Farming Dairy by willybaby(m): 10:06pm On Jul 17, 2020 |

Re: My Soybean Farming Dairy by halimzytohfresh(m): 10:06am On Jul 19, 2020 |
dedons:lol. seriously, I have been having hard time on how best to answer this your question. it is really dependent on some conditions oo, like how fertile your land is weed management spacing and lots more. |

Re: My Soybean Farming Dairy by willybaby(m): 7:07pm On Jul 21, 2020 |
We make plans as human but nature has its plan too.. anyway our soybean must be in the ground this week... Update Today actually wasn't wasted, a senior brother here gave an advice on shade and how soybeans hates it and that advice is been taken seriously. Chemical was used in killing the big trees today
