It's only owode/atan area of Ogun that I had met some women buying stacked corn in 50kg sack. The price varies wt season.
You can research markets in ur area esp Ibadan, since Ib is closer to iseyin. If d market is favourable, just arrange a mini truck and 2 or 3boys that wl harvest n load for u. You start ur harvesting from say 1am and by 5am u set for market. Don't harvest overnight, those mrk women na winch, they wl know, and once they know, they wl not buy from u again. I did it b4 and they caught me red handed. I had to apologize that it wl never happen again. Such act can only be tolerated in Lagos/abuja mrks.
I met some women who came to buy corn in Gbogan mrk and one of them said they came from Ibadan. For them to have journey about an hour from Ib, I was wondering if there were no corn in Ib mrk.

Fulani herdsmen destroyed my 2 plots of land where I planted maize. I have reported to the nearest civil defence and they ask me to give an approximate amount of what was destroyed. I don't know what to tell them because this is my first time of planting maize. Please help me out

50k is a fair price for maize on 2 plots of land

50k is a fair price for maize on 2 plots of land

50K; Is that for transport or what?

A hectare (15 plots) can take 50,000 stands, which is about 6,600 stands per plot. Make a loss allowance for 1,600 stands, and he would get 5,000 stands per plot. Assuming one stand produces 1 cob, that is 5,000 cobs. Let us even divide this by 2, and we get 2,500 cobs.

An ear of corn has a retail price of N50. Therefore, he should be demanding at least N125,000 in compensation. Frankly, he needs to demand at least N350,000 using the calculation above for a full 5000 stands. This is to be broken down as follows:

- money spent on development (N50,000)
- N250,000 compensation for lost revenue from fully developed corn PLUS compensation for personal loss that results from unavailability of the future revenue (e.g. what if a family member gets sick and no money to pay for treatment as a result of lost revenue from destroyed crops)?

That is how these things are demanded for. The Fulani guys should be prepared to produce ONE fully matured female cow as compensation. The guy should demand this in full with no iota of reduction.

Ok, so you make as much as 250k from 2 plots of maize?

[quote author=ifedola28 post=80336360][/quote]

Tell us how you arrived at your 50k. At least I presented a standpoint with an illustration on which the fellow can seek compensation. Share with us from your wealth of wisdom how you arrived at N50,000 for compensation after the fellow took the pains, time, effort, money, and all to plant his 2 plots.

Staggers' calculation is not based only on what can be made on 2 plots of maize.
If making 250k from 2 plots of maize in 12 weeks is rocket science, I'll never touch maize again in my life. I know how much I would have made if I had planted my preferred crop; cucumber, on that 2 plots. If not for cucumber glut in the market and the need for crop rotation, I have been spoilt by cucumber to start making money 6th week after sowing.
Thanks for your input
An officer has been assigned to arrest them early tomorrow morning but a Fulani man called me tonight and was begging that we see and talk things out tomorrow. He said he wasn't around, it was his sons that made the mistake

I think it's even better you plant cucumber,byou can't make 250k from 2 plots of maize farm. Anyone that tells you otherwise is deceiving you, won't say more than that.

I also think you should see the Fulani man in the presence of an officer, sort things out and give him a document to sign that such will never happen again and in case it happens, they should be prepare to pay a million naira for damages. Make him sign it, you should also sign and the officer should sign as a witness.

Forgive them this time around for your own safety. If anything happens to you, government won't blink an eye. Your safety is your responsibility.

Wisdom is needed for this type of situation and not revenge.

I am interested in the discussion and getting my facts from here
I am new and want to start a maize farming in a small way

Where can I get the hybrid seed around Ikotun (Lagos State) or Atan (Ogun State)? VERY URGENT

When are the best time to plant maize? I read i can plant 3 times a year without irrigation or 5 times with irrigation? Though I am just preparing my land now but this may help me next year.

Thanks

Sir, there is a thread for it by Pistotita. You will learn a lot from the thread and you can even ask questions from experienced farmers.

I don't have to prove anything, he can go ahead with the 250k. It's just misleading to make people feel you can make some unrealistic values from some crops.

Anyone is free to make whatever decision suits him. Reality is always the best teacher

I think you have a serious problem with comprehension. We are not talking about how much he will make. We are talking about him getting compensation. I have also asked you to show how you arrived at a compensation demand of N50,000: you are yet to do so. The reason is because you simply do not have an idea. You just threw up a figure without knowing how compensation figures are arrived at. In case you do not know how compensation laws work, I think you should read more or consult a lawyer to educate you on the matter.

I am not here to argue about what he can and cannot make as that is not even the issue: something you seem to have a problem understanding.

I say this very seriously as herdsmen are causing rampage all over the country, destroying farms, killing and kidnapping farmers, etc. Many people here will suffer losses as a result. Without a knowledge of how they can seek compensation after engaging the law enforcement agents, how do they recoup their investments?

This is not a personality contest so please stop skating the topic of compensation and address the issue squarely.

You n stagger are both maize farmers. If ur expected revenue revenue from 2 plots is 50k, u may be right, if stagger's also is 250k from 2 plots, he too may be right.
I can relate well with staggers calculation because he's based in Abuja environs, hence he's using abuja market. I hav bought corn on d street of Abuja, i even bought above N50 per one.
Your 50k projection is wt respect to SW market, in sw, u can buy/sell 3 or 4 pcs @N50 @farmgate.
But when it comes to compensation issue, wrt law suit, u don't quote ur expected revenue only, just like stagger said, he can push up to 350k.

I simply don't have the time. Just coming in from a site. You have the time, you can lecture me on what I have a serious problem comprehending.

If you think I have a serious problem with comprehension, you can as well elaborate without passing insults. You nairalanders are just so fond of doing that. E

Abeg let it slide. That's his own style of passing msg/instruction across. If u bn observing stagger very well, u wl notice he speaks like a retired force/military man. Oga stagger sey I lie ?

I think it's still fluctuating around 75k per tonne. You need to state your exact location for people to help you with bulk buyers.

Hello Guys,

Can a Fog Machine be used to combat pests in a maize farm? I came across this nairaland thread https://www.nairaland.com/5123736/control-pests-disinfect-farm-silos about it last year and today,

If you've seen this machine in action please enlighten us on it's effectiveness.
