If I have the capital ehn
10 acres for Plantain farming
10 for cabbage farming
20 for pepper and tomatoes farming
5 for different varieties of vegetables especially ugu
Remaining 5 for piggery and cat fish farming.
So I go dey make money every season.

Bayaar02:
50 acres is approx. 20 hectares.
Start Cassava farming.
Find cassava stem,plough the land and ridge.
Plant and spray pre emergence Afterwards.
Spray post emergence 6 wks after.
Let Cassava reach maturity stage.
Yield per hectares should reach 25tonnes.
Current price per tonnage is 30k.
Do the maths.

Moymoy:
Right in my family, the land we own is close to 300 hectares. It's sitting idle because no one is interested in staying in the village. Plus, the reality of witchcraft. If you want to invest in large scale agriculture, may God help you if they don't use "air force" or physically poison you.

Charleys:
Build a small pen.
Buy like 5 small goats.

Early morning you let them out to roam.
Evening time they come back to the pen.


Na grass them dey chop.

I have always been saying this to people that all this unreliable farm hand situation boils down to the level of zeal, aura of leadership and the way the farmer owners treat their farm helps. If you treat them right you will expand bro.

If you have 50 acres of fertile farm land in the southwest, what would you do with it?

JuanDeDios:

(1) Buy one horse and one keke to be cruising round the place. (2) Start a vertically integrated agricultural BUSINESS that encompasses planting and animal husbandry.

I might contact you later to help set something up for me in Anambra there, I just remembered that you're already in the state. My experience farming there is ugly which is why I want to move to the southwest. Farm labourers are scarce, unserious and heartless. The only way to farm successfully there is to leave your city job and move into the rural areas to do it by yourself which is not feasible for me since I want a gradual transition to the rural areas for retirement. It's also difficult to get up to 5 acres in that state for integrated farming plus the fact that flooding is disturbing farming communities there continuously since 2012 nonstop. Land disputes is another problem as every community there seems to be in court over land dispute. Anambra offers best prices for farm products but their trouble is too much. Very expensive land prices is another matter.

SocialJustice:
Lol, have you cultivated any of these plants successfully before? Managing this farm will be too stressful. The skill sets needed are too different. Nigerian workers are always looking to steal, how you treat them barely affects the situation. If you have employed before, you should know.

As for me,
10 acres for piggery and abattoir.
10 acres for black soldier fly larvae production and processing plant.
30 acres for moringa and processing factory.

greenermodels:
how would you manage all these with the unreliable farm labour situation in the country?

godofuck231:
Get beef cows and start a ranch , start with 1000 calves , plant yams on the other half , after months, shift and plant plantains , add some goats , see you at the bank
