AgricultureRe: Should I Quit My Job And Start Farming Tomatoes? Advice Please by AgricStore:
Benyfil:
One of my reasons exactly. I wake up 5am and get home 8pm (Mon-Fri). But in my case, the job is not high paying, I run all my expenses on loan, at the end of the day, my take home pay is 39k. I spend an average of 1k per day (eating and transportation to work), thats about 22k per month. I only use my car once in a while. If I remove that from the 39k take home pay, it remains 17k (which is not even enough to care for the family talk less of saving). Been living on the edge of management and if any sudden expectation comes, I would have to seek for loan again, which continues the cycle and this is the 10th year at work. If the management decides to call it quit, that would spell trouble.

My wife supports a lot, but a man got to be a man. right? smiley

All the same, thanks bro.
Don't quit your job yet.



Hire(make an agreement) with a a few persons to "work" the hectare of tomato plants.

Youth or Women are preferable. You could even get a group of widows supervised by your wife and split profits with them. (they should also be involved in marketing and sales)

Divide your hectare into 5 areas and plan your transplants every 2 weeks into 1 of the 5 areas.

This ensures year round harvesting. Your profits will soar in times of scarcity.

Ensure to create a sales plan that will involve supply of fresh tomatoes to homes, hotels, small grocer/supermarkets Etc.

You can even open a tomato shop in the market. Cutting away all the middle-men in the supply chain leaves you with a higher than usual margin.

That said, YOU PERSONALLY have to draw a simple management plan and work schedule for your workers/partners.

I hope you can ensure year round water supply.
I hope the farm is close to a densely populated area.

Create cash flow.

Have dedication and QUIT YOUR JOB in a year or two.

CrimeRe: Lady's Photo Taken To A Shrine In Edo By Her Customer. Judith Trafford Cries Out by AgricStore: 10:10am On Sep 18, 2018
PROPHETmichael:
Nonsense!!! If all she said is true and the lady still went ahead to take her pics to the shrine, then she should not cry but rejoice.

1) The lady shouldnt pay her anymore because...

2) The customer has drawn aspiritual battle line.

3) She should take that same amount to her pastor as a seed and let him pray for her and drop that seed on the altar.

4) Altar vs Altar


In the book of I Samuel 7: 7-11, it is written, “And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines. And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto the Lord our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines. And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a burnt offering wholly unto the Lord: and Samuel cried unto the Lord for Israel; and the Lord heard him. And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the Lord thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel. And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Beth-car.”




After this, that lady will never visit any shrine again.
Prophet, you’ll make a very good film director.

Have a great week sir .
