Farming can be described as a technical profession, from planting to management and harvest, it often tedious to gain insights to the best practices for farming different types of crops. Potential Farmers looking to go into agriculture are hindered by the lack of access to materials which would improve their knowledge of farming for a particular crop, they also suffer from an inability to have access to experienced farmers who can give them real time updates on practices to be carried out on their farm.


As human beings our ability to take risks differs, with some having a preference for low risk ventures and if they are to engage in one, they would need clear and detailed steps on activities to be carried out, cost of such activities and when to carry them out. For a business venture as technical and unpredictable as agriculture, it is little wonder that many are ready to venture into farming but unable to do so due to the fear of taken wrong steps.

Farmers are also unable to expand their farming enterprise due to the fear of failing and losing capital. For example farmers who plant a specific crop or rear a certain livestock, are aware that their business enterprise would be boosted by engaging in mixed farming and growing a side crop along with the original crop or livestock. Livestock farmers know they can benefit from growing crops which can be used in feeding animals and utilizing animal wastes as fertilizers.

These are problems which are obtained from lack of easy access to information on farming; with increased interests in agriculture and more farmers desiring to expand their business enterprise, it has become necessary to have an advisory system that enlightens farmers.

The advisory system would ensure potential farmers get detailed information on costs of different farm activities from land preparation, planting, weed management, harvest and even selling produce in the market. Existing farmers wishing to refresh their knowledge on developments and new methods in achieving improved productivity can benefit from this system.

All these and many more are different advantages that can be obtained when information about growing different sets of crops are made readily available. The information provided by the system would be collated from personal experiences of experienced farmers in different localities, research data from pooled from prominent agricultural agencies and tips from experienced agronomists.
