RuMiRgO1stSon:

One. A worry I have

I want to cultivate maize first weeks of June.This means it will be ready for harvest in August when they're won't be rainfall. Would it be successful? Given that August is break from rainfall

RuMiRgO1stSon:

Rain was heaviest last year in August, leading to the flooding that occurred in many parts of Nigeria. NiMET has already predicted a repeat of the same situation this year. There is no more anything like August break due to climate change.

Follow the weather forecasts closely and make your move.

Yes of course, though it depends on the maize variety you plan to cultivate, cause there are 2 months varieties, 3 months varieties etc.

Yes you are right, but his concern maybe due to the rainfall pattern where he lives, so if the 8th month is prone to drought the best thing he shall do is plant short varieties. Cause maize crops fails when drought hits, and worst when it happen when its at tassel stage.

RuMiRgO1stSon:

Of course

I'm seriously considering plant agro, but I have some questions.

1. Which part part of Nigeria did you do the farming?
2. How did you acquire the land?
3. How did you get buyers?

What is the size of the land used for the maize?

Mikelarteta:

I don't know , maybe 2 acres😁
Am sorry we don't measure farmland here... Just plant as much seed as you can

Answers to your questions
1. Northeast; Am from Borno state.
2. It's a family land, so free
3. With the help of a friend who's a middle man in agro market. He find buyers and sell it for me.

RuMiRgO1stSon:
So what again was the reason you said you can't farm?

Where are you based?

Some of us are willing to farm but we're not geographically privy as most of you guys up north. There's capital to invest, land might not really be an issue but where to find cheap and honest labourer is one of the many issues we face down south.

Everybody will try to rip you off here. And it's more expensive making a land ready for farming here.

Am from Borno state.

Eya am so heard that, but you can do most of the work yourself if you have the land to cultivate. I can put you through if you wanted to ...

Wonderful job bro, congratulations. most haven't realised the real secret behind this success and the profit.

I mean the cattle ploughing.

Pls I would like your guidance on that .I want to have a dedicated team of oxen for ploughing, pls how do I start and what type of plow do you use etc?

Well we aren't using oxen to pull the plow, but machine like tricycle both pickup and keke napep type, while others use car etc.
Both the plow and the machine wasn't mine, but Friend's.

I like this your concept - It is simple, efficient and affordable. It is a practical solution to unavailability of farm hands during the planting season I'm not too sure however if this will be workable in the south west with her tough terrain - you will need a lot of stumping One might however use tractor at the first instance and this equipment on subsequent ploughing

Can you please show us the pictures of the plough, the rough and dirty idea of pricing and where we can likely get the equipment

Tnx

RuMiRgO1stSon:

The profit is no bad giving your cost of investment... Like how many times do you visit your farm ... Because I want to value your time in the calculation and how long did it take from planting to harvesting... Are there other hidden cost
