@ e-jaja: Saw your post, please I will reply soon. Trying to take some rest from my travellings. I still have one for this week end. I will respond. I like you because I am very curious like you too. A little rest is needed by me to make good compositions. You see, I compose my posts off-hand majorly. As soon as possible, I will reply! Please forgive me. Abeg! |

FarmTech: i totally agree with you. Nigerians shud learn how to freely share information. The problem with many is that they even sell information that shud be free. Thanks so much. The australian lady u visited her farm, please i'll like to know some of the tips she shared with you. If u have pictures of how her pen look like, please share. Thanks. |

Its very good you will be settling in Abuja so that when I am about to start I can easily call on you in case of any confusion. I want to know about their security, I mean to guard against thieves, do I need a fenced compound? Where can I buy a colony in Abuja? And how many can I start with to make reasonable profit. Thank you very much. Can I also have your phone number and email/ BB PIN. |

I wonder if there is high demand for grass-cutters. |
| Re: Agriculture Can We Really Make A Living From It by momexcellency: 6:15pm On Nov 30, 2013 |
Are grasscutters not in high demand? |

Hello huz, I ve about 1000 birds in cage. How do I make money from their droppings. |

The Unbeatable: FEEDING: my snails eat "chromolena odorata"(Akintola plant), Talinum fruticosum(Water leaf), decaying cassava peels, I heared they eat cocoyam leaf but I have not given them before. I give them ripe Carica papaya(pawpaw). Those are what I use to feed my over 30 snails of 4-5 different breeds. HAHAHAHA! Ignorance is terrible. How can he feed his pigs with the peels where the hydrocyanic acid is fully concentrated? HAHAHAHHA! |

@ e-jaja: I had answered your question sometime back but the network was down so my post was not successful. Someone said, maturity is the ability to delay immediate gratification for future satisfaction. E- jaja, I respect you for your patience. Your kind is rare! What I meant when I said " there are many things involved" means that there are many practices, labour and endurance involved. Since you can wait for me this long? You can do majority of agric business. I can assure you of that. Cassava agronomic practices are numerous. Preplanting, planting and post planting practices . The type of vegetable in high demand in south west is amaranthus cruenthus( efo green), celosia argentia( soko), abelmoschus esculentus(okra or Ila). Telfaria occidentalis(ugu), ewedu. About sprinkler, I will reply soon! |

@ farm tech: We have different goat breeds in nigerria namely; Red bororo, west african long legged goat, west african dwarf goat. These are the ones I can identify myself and can talk about. To the best of my knowledge, the west african dwarf goat is best suited to the west and south(edo, delta). They are hardy(rugged, rarely sick, strong) and gives delicious meat especially in "obe ata". Cost price of weaners is around 3-4k depending on size and location and adult sells for 13- 18k. It is a good business but you can not raise them well in confine( I stand to be corrected anyway but this is what I have known with experience). @ all: Sorry for not being prompt with my posts, you know this is festive time and we all are chasing one thing or something is chasing us( to be candid). I have some names I wrote down and their questions but I have not answered. I had to answer e-jaja on dueress because my mind was always pinging me not to delay someones information because information is power and power is money(influence and afluence). Need to attend to my pullets and pigs. Got to go. I am open to any question because. Your questions revitalise my retentive memory and quest for more knowledge because I see myself nowadays buy more books on agric, practice it and dish out the knowledge to others for free becuase everyone may not have access to literatures. I believe in one yoruba saying which states: Enikeni ti iwo ba nipa lati se iran lowo fun, oun naa lenikeji e toju re ( whoever you have the power to help, he/she is your neighbour. Care for them) Always loyal, The Unbeatable. |

@datola, momexcellency: demand for grass cutter differ from one location to another. if you stay in the urban arears, i think the demand is higher because of industrialisation and construction works that has either made this animal extinct or endangered specie. big men in the urban areas want to feel the sweetness of nature by demanding for "bush meat". in the rural arears, bush meat is common and cheaper. |

@ jamp: Money from droppings? There is only one way that I know and it is called "compost " it is an organic fertilizer sourced from both animal waste and plant waste. It is mixed in a propotion and allowed to decay. For sometime, it is then crushed and sieved into commercial size, bagged and sold for 1k per 25kg and if mixed with chemical fertilizer in a certain proportion, it is more active(organomineral fertilizer) and sold for 1500 per 25kg. I have more knowledge on this "turning waste to wealth" business! It is time and labour intesnsive but it gives good returns as well! Thank you! |

The Unbeatable: @ farm tech:thank u very much for your answer. I have read about the boer goat which is one of the best meat goat in the world. I am looking forward to rearing this type of goat. But I will first visit min of agric and some agric departments in some universities to see wot they have to say about it. If u know anything about the goat, pls share. |

@ e_ jaja; I have not been able to settle down to make something comprehensive o but let me give a draft here. For a 1 plot to 1 ha field, a 3hp surface water pump is appropriate. Depending on your taste of sprinklers, you will use 10 - 20 stock sprinklers and several meters of connecting pipes and connectors irrespective of your farm layout and irrigation orrientation. Thank you. But in all, for a 1 plot land, you can budget 50k to 70k max for a simple perrenial irrigation scheme. |

@ barri chris: God bless you for your contribution to this thread. I like you for your wanting to offer " free help". That is what we do here. I am sure you dint bother to read through all the previous pages on this thread before making your post. If you did, I am sure you will know that you should make a more " constructive post" in this your first paragragh. Sir/madam, you don't spoil or water down other peoples effort to "build" your own. Its a bad awareness strategy and for your information sir, that will not work here. Love you, The Unbeatable! |

@ farm tech: Brooooooda, I so much believe in your guts. It gingers my teaching instinct but I must ask you some questions, my brother. 1 do you have an operating farm? Please pardon my ignorance. 2 if yes, how many world class animals are there? 3 do all animals adapt to thesame climatic conditions? 4 why are you not growing this common "green apples" at your back yard? ( Laughing in my mind) I like your enthusiasm and vision its incomparable. Mind you, I am not morking you. I just want your vison to be clear to the reality of what our challenges in Nigeria, that is why this website is called "Nairaland.com" ...Embraces... Your Brother, The Unbeatable! |

The Unbeatable: @ farm tech:Thanks once again for your reply. I currently have a poultry layers farm on a small portion of land. I am just trying to see how feasible boer goat farming will be in the south region where tse tse fly might pose a problem. I dont really know yet whether they can resist this fly despite all my googling. |

Barr chris: Sum pics of ma produce lik I promised bf. 2608C343 08187321260 or 08069212535those are quite cute pictures. My problem with rabbit and grasscutter is how to feed them grass during the dry season. Also, can they eat their way out of a wooden cage? |
