Any maize supplier here that has 100 tons?

I have a piece of land by mile 8 in Ogun state when you go through Ojere/ pansheke. though the land had not been used for sometime and farm hands that want to do the cutting are demanding #20,000 for an acres, is this not much? Can I get a better prize? pls if you are around that place and can help get those that can clear the land for a lesser price let me known. Thanks

Can you please let us see the pictures or drawings of how your knapsack with a hood looks like? It could be helpful now that labour cost has become a material cost in farm operations

Educative thread u have here sis.

My choice of weeding is herbicides. I use any a.I nicosulfuron, such as striker , guard force, i sometimes mix wt atrazine. Nico is selective to corn n very potent, just 100ml in ur tank, u get d magic. But transplanted veggies can nt survive in that land in d next 3 months. I fell victim once, so I stopped using it, cos I cherished d life of my veggies more.
I am currently using glyphosate/paraquat. I improvised a hood over my nozzle at a low pressure to focus/control d direction of d vapour with d hood very closed to d ground to avoid diversion by wind. I spray in such a way that the mouth of d nozzle/hood is directed away from d plants, tho injury sometimes but very minimal. Frustration from workers can make one think outside box.
