Tinubu no go pay Shishir until the end of this year, this administration is not sincere with the economy policies and they are worse than the the military"maradona" of yesterday years in keeping promises. Last month they said the senior cadre template was the Issue and wasted the whole month under the disguise of preparing the template which they had promised would be available in 2 weeks and they couldn't find another tenable excuse this time, they said it's going to be implemented in[b] July 29th what difference is that to August 2024[/b]? Something that ought to have commenced from April 2024, I wasn't surprised when this ruling party was alleged to have organized fake pastors during campaign programs few weeks to the general election

Just like saying the price of bread is just 999 instead of 1k.
Was subsidies removed on July 29, was price of things increases that day? Honestly z Tinubu is not being sympathetic with Nigerian and he doesn't hide it

davinchi101:
We actually expected the price of beans to drop to 500#/modu this year.

But due to maybe low rainfall and other factors, beans did not really do well this year.

So the price fell from 1300 to 700.

We don't need a prophet to tell us that beans will be very very expensive in 2024.

If you have the mind, you can still store it.
The price might likely hit 1,500/modu before another harvest season.

You are a prophet 😁😁
Beans is over 3k now

davinchi101:
Price of Egusi is gradually crashing. Those that wants to do storage should get ready

Thank you for the groundnuts you help me to buy. I received it promptly in Abuja.

Nairaland has become the graveyard of evening newspapers.
Old and stale news always resurface on nairaland

Maryam1234:
New groundnut 130k
New corn 70k
26 Bucket

Harvest continue...

Please update on the price of ground nuts and the type of bag

ActiveFarms:
My maize is super dried after almost five days of sunshine. Taking to my solar drying next to continually improve the dryness

you can go ahead to shell and store it.

ActiveFarms:
So, you mean to say the drying process should be indefinite?

Until You achieve about 15% moisture. If you can bit it with your teeth, the kernel should be very hard and crispy.
I'll still occasionally dry my own maybe once in a week or two weeks till October before storing since I don't have the device for testing the moisture content.

Samunique:
Nigeria senior is playing in Nigeria and the nairaland mods didn't seem it fit to put it on the front page.

Can you help me confirm the price of Locust beans?

betabread:
After 5days drying in d sun, my maize lost more than 1/3rd it volume.......

Dry maize comes with its challenges but that volume lost has taken a nasty toll on my revenue

Funny enough the buyers dont care they wont add a dine after winnowing and drying my maize enough for storage

Nobody pitys farmers, 4get d hype in the media, they are all emotional rants

I await them by february, i will sell my seed maize @ high water content , dry maize is like working for free for peppke

I think selling fresh is more profitable than dried

Please add me to the WhatsApp group

ActiveFarms:
I will re-sundry tomorrow and get better ventilation

Don't stop drying it until it's completely dry.

ActiveFarms:
Excessive sunning and using tarpaulin to dry outdoors has caused them to sweat

The sweating is not due to excessive sunning but due to presence of moisture and lack of ventilation.

ActiveFarms:
Have you found a way to have your maize dried using a maize dryer ?

God answered my prayers since Sunday, there's no rain, it's always sunny and I have been sun-drying them up till now. It really gave me sleepless night before Sunday.
How about yours? Can't you sundry it?

honor4me:
So because he’s a chairman of a council he must not use whatever means is available to get to work. Haven’t you all see where a President of Netherland was riding to work on a bicycle? Their own country is not a joke or a cruise as most you always comment about anything Nigeria? Why can we change our mentality and be grateful to what the Almighty God has given us in this country? Whatever bad thing you wish the country is bouncing back on you!

When and where do you see LG chairmen carrying guns?
Why can't he use a canoe or ferry?
Why is he not putting on a life jacket?
Why is he being recorded on camera?

MEEVEET:
Tinubu laughable attempt at naira floatation killed the naira

The weaker the naira the higher the price of petrol

The higher the price of petrol, the higher the price of commodities in the market......
The lesser the purchasing power of the people, the higher the level of poverty and hunger

Zwooks:

Govts in Nigeria are notorious for not keeping up with contractual obligations.

This is very true

ActiveFarms:
Bro have a look

I pulled my clothes to cross river because the routes are flooded. The flood got to my Belle level


I crossed path with a fully grown cobras that raised to strike me once. I crossed paths with other snake species twice or thrice.

I have been bathing with river water for months


I fetch borehole water two hours away for my drinking and cooking

It is well with you. As we're looking for what to eat, may ee not be found by what will eat us o

lavylilly:
This is stale. Nairaland is becoming something else

News that you would have read on Facebook, twitter, x etc and have forgotten. NL will push to FP

9jatriot:
Make they send them go those forest where bandits de hide, if they want to be free let them face the bandits in the bush.

Make it a case of killed or get killed.

Perhaps it is time we try options like this.

If them go join body with the bandits de do colabo nko?

betabread:
To get 2 cobs per plant with big cobs u have to use large spacing thereby reducing population

If u plant maize for fresh market dont bother urself with hybrids especially seedco 510, it wont pay cos invariably u will cheat urself, d varoeties dat are planted for sale fresh have poor grain weight compared to what is thrown away

If u plant seedco510 or any hybrid marketed for grain yield its better to sell dry and better to sell by weight to mostly poultries

I love and prefer open market cos they sell per volume,once u get varieties or can manipulate ur corn to get big grains u will reap off this market as compared to poltry dat wants to buy based on weight

On the issue of fertilizer my experience is telling me if u fertilize ur corn never sell fresh, d fertilizer goes to develop the seed, if u had dried down ur corn and d local farmer dat does not use fertilizer, u will get more bags per hsrvested cobs if both of u harvested the same number and size of cobs

Word. And I never thought of this all these years.
I planted sc510 and sold some as fresh but I later regret. The cobs looked small but when I harvest it dried, I got more grains per bag of dried unshelled corn.

My problem exactly. I am having hard time drying my unshelled corn

ActiveFarms:
Bon Appetit Senoir

What variety is this one?

ActiveFarms:
I need anyone to guess the approximate range of the number of cobs in the picture below. I will give the top ten closest winners Half bag of Maize in November, any part of the country you are based.

15,000 to 30,000 cobs

ActiveFarms:
Rate My Farm Produce Guys

Whao. Congratulations. How many times did you apply fertilizer? The cobs are okay

ActiveFarms:
I was pained to the bones that for three years I kept calling for help no one turned up three years

People would like to invest but due to experience with some "farm", some will find it difficult to trust anyone with their money.
Besides, agriculture is a very risky business. With the climate change challenge this year.
Keep doing what you are doing, you may not even need investors again as you grow.

How do you get to dry your corn? The weather is so cloudy this days that I have to spread corn everywhere even in my sitting room to avoid them getting mouldy and germinating
