The project is 15 acre of soybeans at Oyo State Nigeria, I have some challenges of farm hand's (workers), fulani herbsmen, but thanks to God for the completion of the project

NOTE :
Soybean is among the major industrial and food crops grown in every continent. The crop can be successfully grown in many states in Nigeria using low agricultural input. Soybean cultivation in Nigeria has expanded as a result of its nutritive and economic importance and diverse domestic usage. It is also a prime source of vegetable oil in the international market. Soybean has an average protein content of 40% and is more protein-rich than any of the common vegetable or animal food sources found in Nigeria. Soybean seeds also contain about 20% oil on a dry matter basis, and this is 85% unsaturated and cholesterol-free.

Planting, weeding, fertilization, no much of insects infestation, and if you come across any insect attack, you combat them with insecticide immediately

Pls sir I would love to personally go into soya bean farming but would love to gather every information I could sir...
Firstly which type of seeds is the most sought after in the market
Secondly did you use post emerging herbicides on the land
Thirdly how are you able to weed the plant considering the no of acre... If it is manual labour how much was used.
Fourtly assuming you would be using thenching mechanically how much would it cost.
Last question on the 15 acre of farm how much was used to clear by tractor, lile how much are you able to get from that 15 acre...
Thanks as I await your response bro.
