This thread is created to show you the various practical steps I will be embarking on as a young farmer in other to
1.encourage the youths saying there is no job
2.for others to learn as a beginner
3.for those with experience to correct me where am going wrong
4. To be encouraged too by the public because my success in this will rely on God and your encouragement thanks

2 years ago I embarked on plantain ,cassava and corn farming with little experience , my brother it was not easy at all, any body that tells you farming is easy just look at that person as an online farmer, I made some income although through hard work ,but I will bodly tell you that it is always profitable at the end when you are committed, so early this year my old plantain farm was hit by fire disaster, I will show you photos later, but I promised my self that I will never give up so due to that am setting up another 10 hacters of plantain farm this year ..

My old plantain farm that was hit by fire disaster

Thanks be to God almighty ,the farm that is hit by fire disaster is regrowing

Budget for my new farm project this year was 200k both for the cassava corn and plantain farm

I rented the land I.e 15hacres of land for about N50,000 and today we started work on the land with my employees

So now I can boost of been called oga ;Dlol

One thing I want to say to those reading this post is that never give up on life no matter what , always find a reason to start again no matter how ,many times you fall

Stay tuned for tomorrow post an pictures as work commence thanks

thanks bro for your interest and encouragement, first
1. My farm is located within delta state oghara , so the land is gotten from the forest guard
2. For the clearing ,we do so with the help of the abokis I.e the housa guys due to the fact that we can get them easily at oghara for a daily paid job of #1,500 per person hope I have answered your questions

Hello OP, why did u rent instead of buy the farmland?

no you can't buy farm land in the forest where I farm its only given out on lease for a maximum of 4yrs before you can abandon it thanks

Today I started weed control on the other farm by applying herbicide on the farmland so that the plantains and corn will not have competitors ...i forgot to tell you guys I also planted corns along the plantains on the other farm that was previously burnt by fire, just a means of doubling my income ..hustlers must survive lol ..

OP thanks for sharing your progress and please the 50,000k for 15hacres of land which is 225plot of land since 1 hacre is 15 plot of land ,please for how many month or years rent? please is it for the 4yrs you mentioned above?

Thank you.

OK, that's great bro, we sell our plantain in dozens I.e 12 heads of plantain .and the cost depends on the seasons ,maturity and size of the plantain if the plantains are big ones, a dozen can go for #10,000 when demand is low and the Small ones goes for #(8-9 ,000) but when the demand is high we sell one dozen of big bunches for 14 to 15,000 and smaller bunches for #(10 to 12 ,000)hope I answered your questions sir ? But I don't know about the Area you want to establish your farm the prize may be different

From my last sales this is the example of the big bunch its completely without fertilizer, before fire attacked my farm

While these are the small bunches

yeah there are buyers always from warri, sapele, portharcourt ,inside Benin city ,oghara ,mosoger, all coming to the market at coco junction ,that is the village market to look for them and funny enough they sometimes fight over your plantain or corn in other to buy them...the demand is high at the market why the supply is low
