I have a question I would like to ask

Proceed sir

opes:
Why are you not starting the planting now on the newly cleared land? Mine is 54 days old today, fall armyworms were really dealt with..lol..

We're short of man power, it's just me and an assistant, we rely on direct labour and casual staffs who are not very dedicated.

Ade3131:
How many acres of land did you plant and how many birds are you planning to feed with it?

And why didn't you plant your soya beans concurrently with the corn 🌽?

We have over 10 acres, corn currently covering about 5 while we are currently clearing the remaining at a pace, once we harvest the corn we are plenty soybeans and the newly cleared land will have fresh corn.

Maryam1234:
This means South Experience early rainfall more than the North this Year

We've just commence farming activities over here

Congratulations Sir

I wish you bounty harvest

Thanks so much.

Militant1:
NDIC insures up to 5 million, so if yo have 5m or less NDIC will repay you within 60 days.

Is not as if they are bankrupt, people will still get their money from the normal banking activities.

Otiwaikuku:
Congratulations.where is the location of your farm?

Oyo state

Today makes it exactly 59th day after planting this corn. The purpose is to use it raise commercial bird towards the end of the year.

After harvesting, I will be planting soybeans which is another important and expensive raw material to raise bird.

You will recall that I made a thread earlier on how caterpillar attack the corn but turnout fine after applying pesticides which ofcourse involves crop production in this link and how I have laboured tirelessly to raise capital and loans, the SMEDAN loan ought to be a lifeline but only turn out to be an #audioloan and sterling bank ain't saying anything further on it audio loan but here we are 59th day.

Carbon dating has nothing to do with whatever folktale you're conjuring there. Carbon dating ko, oxygen naming ni. Dey throw words around anyhow. 🙄

You don vex baba

The gullible will salivate!

Well I wouldn't say that... I'll tell you if you ask me why.

In a settings that typically looks like a church religious settings, in the middle is a tall lanky man donned in a suit with a physic of a superstar player dribbling his church members that dare to doubt he presence of a fresh oil on him, the man is no other person but the renowned South African pastor named Kakanda of the KaKatende ministries.

With his performance, I can bet my left ball that the Chelsea scout team will soon be on their way to South Africa to have his signature as he seems to be the answer to their current crisis. Listen to what his member said after the supernatural encounter.

Curious345:
but you've killed it already!

In case of next time

Fujiyama:
^^^

Be stern with them on this matter.

Death by snakebite is terrible - and that is a fully grown specimen with massive venom glands, no doubt. Your farm is probably very far away from a hospital (not that our hospitals are likely to stock antivenin anyway ). Death is almost guaranteed if any of those young men is bitten.

Warn them seriously about this. You may be saving their lives by so doing.

I'll do just that.

Curious345:
If you didn't kill this snake .. meaning you
caught it alive .. you can comfortably sell it to oyinbo conservationist for $27,000

Can you share me a link to where it can be sold.

ProjectsCityNG:
No. Always check the weather forecasts na. The weather forecast had project rains would fall since days before. It also has given updates on more rains the new week

This is very true and part of the skill set needed in agriculture.

NFBI:
I can't touch this thing

Me too, I have to summon courage to shoot close range

Kossyso:
This snake is specially designed by the creator. It looks beautiful.

and deadly

AkpaMgbor:
Gaboon vipers generally stay out of contact with humans. They are very secretive but once in a while they come in contact with us..that big head houses a very potent cocktail of venom and the means to deliver it deep inside your tissue.

Not mine in Jesus name, I rebuke and back to sender.

Christistruth00:
How do you know it’s age

The white patches on the back sir

Fujiyama:
Your video shows a young man placing the dead viper (with its head still intact) around his neck.

That young man is dicing with death. He obviously doesn't know.

The bite reflex in some snakes is still active long after 'death' has occurred. There is a reason why so many Nigerian languages have proverbs about making sure the head of a snake should be cut off after it has been killed.

One mistake (just a slight grazing of that boy's flesh by any of those fangs) and you could very well have a fatality within 60 minutes.

Educate your farmhands/labourers ASAP. I am surprised they didn't know this already.

They knew but utterly stupid, you can see I can't move closer hence the reason why some shot are off focus but when you tell them things like this, they think one is not smart.

NeckingNgulping:
So, does it mean it came with one patch when it was hatched, given your explanation?

Usually none.

AkpaMgbor:
That’s a gaboon viper. It has the longest known fang in the snake kingdom. It delivers a very deep bite with haemotoxins that break down your blood vessels. It killed a farmer in the outskirts of Umuahia a few years ago. He was taken to a native doctor and was given treatments that were ineffective until his window for survival was closed and they now rushed him to FMC to perform magic….ignorance killed him.

I've never seen a venomous snake this big in my entire life.

He don buy market, involve police like that.

Puss360:
Crops!!!!

Corn...

opes:
Just this morning, i treated my maize when i observed fall armyworms, not long after, rain fell and washed the insecticides away. I had to re-apply again. How old are they?

The process can be painful plus the loss of chemical

ProjectsCityNG:
The maize suffered heat stress during the long period of heat and no rains. It took a toll on them

You're correct.

I've seen corps planted by the road side eaten by animals so also those planted out f reach of domesticated animals but still eaten up by weevils and caterpillar especially corn. All these sum together could lead to low crop yield but this I've never researched into till we've almost become a victim here in the farm after our corn field came under attack of caterpillar from the eggs laid by butterflies.

Before I proceed, please do me a favor by supporting my brand here on YouTube by subscribing to my channel https://www.youtube.com/africandiarytv there are over 3k subscriber at the moment and these are young entrepreneurs or agriculture enthusiast just like myself. Thank you.

That said, my self and my assistance planted corn and after about 14days, started seeing butterflies in their 2s moving in their zigzag pattern perching randomly on crops and with the next 5 days, the form leaves started becoming horrible and it quickly caught my attention and his but we both kept quite until I called his attention, though he is a farmer but couldn't say while we both agreed its caterpillar.

I observed the situation during the day and nothing serious is seen but at night when the sunlight has gone, the caterpillar comes out to feed then I connected the lines as to previous observation as I observed the whole farm around and take daily record observation realising that days earlier the butterflies swarm round the farm perching randomly on the leaves thus realising they were trying to breed in the farm by laying their eggs on the field.

The following day we administer a pesticide, we had another encounter about this because the first pesticide was wash off by rain minutes after applying while the second spray too wasn't effective because of the brand until another better brand was administer and the corp are expected to be better soon.

Share your experience... Ready to learn.
