What Should I Farm On 24 Hectares Of Land Surrounded By River Ala by webhostbiz: 3:37pm On Apr 04, 2015 |
I have 24 hectares of land at ogbese in Ondo state. The land is surrounded by river ala which I believe will be good for irrigation because the water never dries up. Pls kindly advice me on what to plant.o[quote][/quote] |

Find markets first before planting and it's better to start small and experiment. In the future you may incorporate both crop and animal. |

Practice practice practise Practise on a very small scale. practice the exact crops you want to plant Understand the techniques and use the sample produce to source for market. Research on what the markets demand. Don't plant because someone gave you an overbloated figures. Acquire intensive practical knowledge in what you want to invest in Make friends with practicing farmers and visit the farm to see the structures and settings. Presence of water alone does not make irrigation. There are a lot entails. Get to understand the farm workings. Then you can venture into vegetables. Vegetables are short term produce. But they need 24hrs monitoring and maintenance. More hands are needed in the farm More money is spent to make large money from it. Its worth the effort but not as simple as it seems.

Like Jethro said, practice. Do market research. But vegetable like Okro & tomato might do well there. OP, is it the same Ogbese that straddles Ondo & Edo States? Would you want to sell a few acres thereof? Thanks. |

@heywhy4u, thanks for your advice. Some yrs back, my dad had over 50000 suckers on the said farm but by year 2002, the whole farm got burnt including palmtree and cocoa he planted. I think, soil sample should be tested to see the suitability for plantain plantation. What are the soil nutrients that support plantain. |

@Op: What are the crops that neighbouring farms plant? Is it the Ogbese after akure before Uso while heading to Owo or its the Ogbese when going towards ondo town? Anyway, soil test is major. The soil may be fertile but not productive. Many things may be involved. Sincerely, |
