Oh really? Where do you reside if one may ask?

I hope it is sweet, cheap and not poisonous.

Red corn? I can't recall ever seeing one. What is it used for? Corn flakes or custard?

MANGAM:
Seeds- 15bags of seeds were used

ema lor wa ooh... You planted 15 bags How many bags you wan come harvest oh

MANGAM:
Weed ve taken over the farm. Weeding of the weeds will soon start.

Why not use herbicides? the same day you plant the seed you apply herbicides that will stop the weeds from growing on the farm and after one and half month or so you apply the herbicides again that will be all then harvest. about two % of what you will use in manual weeding is enough to buy and apply the herbicides and in addition it saves a lot of time and energy and give better looking crops and high harvest.

@MANGAM

15 Bags of Seed? Wow that must be a big farm. What is the size of your farm?

hope you harvest before the marauding trigger happy herdsmen and thier bovines descend upon your crop.

MANGAM:
Am creating this thread to share my experience in growing red corn




The farm after ploughing wit a tractor

Good one, this is what rochas okorocha is proposing for all imo civil servants, 3 working days and free 2 days for farming, in fact you need to be introduced to him so that a workshop will organised for the civil servants and you will be invited as a resource person to speak on working and farming.

farming with sleepers and at the mercy of rain, in 21st century is primitive farming,but my people say, God dey.

That, sir, is not red corn. That is yellow maize pre-treated with red powdered apron plus. Even I can tell from ur stained hands and bag. Leave the lies. You are planting. That is already worth commending. GEEZ!!!

I noted this. But I don't want to say it. For the first time in nairaland, I refused to be a kill joy.
The OP shud leave the lies. The fact that he is into agriculture is good enough

Growing Maize is not easy.

OP your spacing is very wide. If you won't be using herbicides, plant vegetables or legumes in those spaces when the rainy season comes.

How do you intend to prevent destruction from The Famous Herdsmen?

MANGAM:
Am growing the flint red corn because of it early maturity. We are growing on four plus hectares (16187.426 square metres)

MANGAM please I have a three hectares plus land that I need to put into use. Can you please reply my email for further inquiry. I want to find out weather one can still do late planting of corn by august
