My question when I started this thread was, how much can one make from 2 plots of maize farm. I made 57,600.. I also said I would harvest between 1st and 3rd of May. My harvest was done 2nd and 4th. About 80% on the 2nd, while the remaining 20% was 2 days later. I want to also point out that my 2 plots was about 4 rows by 120f less. I also gave out to a lot of ppl because it was very close to the village. One thing that reduced my income heavily was the attack of birds. I was told by the locals that it was that bad because I was the only one with matured maize around, more so that the area is close to a river and and swamp. I believed the locals submission because it makes sense.

The 57600NGN, is it profit after expenditures or all income?
If profit, then you do well. You can build on that.

NextDayPP:
All income. I mentioned earlier that I didn't have to clear the portion as I was using it for vegetables from late last year to February this year. After planting, weeding was done twice by me. Below is the breakdown of expenses plus cost of clearing and weeding in the area, assuming I had have to do all those.

1. 2kg of premier seed...........1000
2. 2 paint buckets of urea.,.......1600
3. Clearing. .........4000
4. Weeding (twice) ..........6400
Total. ..............#13,000
Total income ............#57,600
Profit. ......... #44,600

Total income could have reached #70,000, but the good thing is I know WHY it didn't. That is the area to work on next time. My actual target was #80,000. Please don't say I'm taking it too far, remember I keep talking about the timing, if i had planted 2 weeks earlier it could easily be achieved.

=NextDayPP post=65800928]I am writing about my experience not because I feel I have arrived, but just to tell anyone wanting to do farming that no matter how many seminars you attend, your mistakes are going to be your ultimate teacher. I moved to another village and within 2 weeks, I was planting another plot of maize (early may) since then I have settled with maize and vegetable, leaving the more complicated tomatoes out of my farm. (I also have cassava for family consumption)

Today I have what it takes to cultivate one or two acres, but I want to conclude my study on Small Well Taken Care Of Farm when produce is scarce against Large Farm When Everyone Is Planting. in case you are wondering, there is a small pond near that has helped with watering, I used the same for vegetables between October and February.



I must say you’ve done a great job , I have 6 Afre farm that I am getting ready to plant cucumber and watermelon , I have no experience in maize at all but if I get advice from you or if you can help me with more info and ideas , time to time guide I’m willing to use some part to plant maize 2 plot maybe . Thanks I’ll appreciate it sir

pls what area did you had your maize sold

igbsam:
I am new in the farming business as i am yet to set up one. Met an old friend who is into farming and helps set up farm for people and also manage it. I've read success stories from a couple of people whom he has worked it. Is it wise as a newbie to start maize and cassava farming with 2 acres being a newbie. Funds are available and he has provided me with detailed information on how funds will be disbursed. Location of farm is ogun state.

NextDayPP:
The women came from Ijoko, not far from Sango in Ogun state. The farm itself is close to the area where bellview crashed late 90s

NextDayPP:
I will suggest you create time to be around the farm from time to time. Your first hand experience is important to help you become the farmer you want to be. Where in Ogun, may I ask.

johnnyblaze424:


Pls can I have your WhatsApp contact....... I'd like to discuss a few thing with you

I ventured into farming last year after several discouraging words from friends for 2 years. I decided to tell nobody before my first. I started with tomatoes, maize and later vegetables ( ewedu and efo). The first 3 plots was a disaster, I struggle to pay for clearing and did the rest myself. I spent 2 months working on the farm, with slightly over 30minutes to and another 30 minutes from the farm everyday. I left the village without informing anyone because of shame of failure. I made NOTHING from my efforts and had to help someone with weeding to get money to leave.

I am interested in working with you on your farm project. I intend on starting mine by February 2019, i just want to pass out time

NextDayPP:
I will be starting another project soon. I haven't been doing anything for a while because I left the former place due to family reasons. I'm currently near Idi-iroko looking for a farm with water source. Apart from the farm produce, I will also be sharing my water pumping system.


Anyway I do not mind a joint venture from a serious person. Or if anyone has like one acre with water source, could be well or borehole, there's a lot we could do with that.

Hey guys.....thanks for the thread.
I just graduated last year and i intend to start a maize farm next year.....as a newbie.

1. I'd like to start with 4 hectares. Is it advisable as a starter.
2. Is it posible for 3 persons to handle such size (2 part time employees while i'll be available on weekends). I'd use weeding machine, planters, etc to ease the work.
3. I'd like to sell to local traders....while any remnant would be dried, decobbed and bagged for sale (to avoid spoilage)

Kindly advise me generally and based on the above data.
P.S: no matter what......i'll start that farm next year.

I av a simple suggestion for you to increase ur yield now that tge maize are beginning to tarsel.
Approach any abbatior around u, go along with d 20litre paint bucket and collect the stomach slug mind you not poop o.
Apply inbetween the plants in measure of milk cups and cover up.
What it will do for you in to increase number of heads per stick and bigger seedling.
You may wish to line out a section of the field and compare at harvest.
Wishing you more successes. Agric pays, nxt time hire some machines to reduce cost and energy input on farm.
