Nice one.. But on how many plots of land?
Do you plan to use trellis? As stake it?
Do you any irrigation plan other than rain..?

I want to be an apprentice to a farmer who would also like to have an apprentice. But hopefully, such a farmer has his farm near Lagos, or in Lagos. I'm about to get admission by God's grace to 200 level to study Agricultural Economics and farm management, in FUNAAB. 08089674431, my contact, whatsapp contact.

And how have you found your course so far?

so far so good its been inspiring,but I must confess even the best university of agric in Nigeria can teach one all the ropes of agri business
that's why I come here most times to draw inspiration from and learn new and better ways of doing things
sometimes I just can wait to graduate and start practising

Glad to see someone who is studying a Agric related course with enthusiasm as many see it as the last resort as against staying at home. There is much opportunities related to your course of study based on my experience which is so oblivious to many. I wish l had studied Agric Extension but no regrets as l have my picked my experience on the field.

Laughing now l as recall my uncle who was the then H.O.D of Agric Extension at UNN, trying to persuade me to apply for the course but l rebuffed him but today my life rotates around it!

Wow....it this is great...great to see I have a fellow extension brother in the House
But I must say that not only our rural dwealers need development but our urban dwealers
We have for so long left the fate of our agric production to mostly illetrates
(With all due respect) while we the doctors, lawyers,accounts ,media personals etc
Eat and observe
But thanks to some great minds on this forum we are begaining to wake up from our slumber
I see this country raising to feed all the nations of the world




What course did u later study @mr pavore

Academic journey has been long as I studied Accountancy, Psychology and media production (specializing in communicating for change for sustainable development)/

An Agric Extension graduate should not see his or herself aiming to be employed by the Ministry of Agriculture because with knowledge at one's disposal one can package TV programmes highlighting Agro ventures and innovations, that is currently a big sell in Kenya as it has huge followership. Nigerians are not adverse to Agriculture but lack of access to information is the issue!

A graduate can provide solutions to small holder farmers with simple rural area friendly technology based solutions such as providing post harvest storage solution that requires no electricity thereby extending the shelf life of their fruits and vegetables and higher the chance of getting good price for their harvests because they will not be in a hurry to sell. There is so much to be done!

jephito:

Mile 12 yet remains the option if you want a cash and carry market.

I took my first harvest 14 and half bags and took me a week before I could gather the money from the sale

Nice one jephito. But why did it take a week to collect money. I would also like to know if fertilizer was used to get that yield. Also what is your profit like?

I took it to Ajah Nd the buyer didn't balance me not until after a week and I didn't get the money complete sef.
I used manure and urea fertiliser.
I made 46% ROI

Many thanks to all those who av provided a guide to my demo farm, my half plot cucumber demo farm has started fruiting and preparing for harvest.

However, I am concluding plans for an acre and taking note of possible challenges. In d light of dis I av bin in search of drip irrigation system nd cldnt get, pls I wld appreciate any help in dis regards or any more economic nd efficient substitute

My first harvest was on 41st day and my last harvest was on 61st day. That's 20 days.

I was harvesting @5days interval.

However, the normal harvest interval for large farms is 3-4days, but mine was due how chanced my work permits
