where are you based bro? the climate change leading to erratic rainfall is really a big issue.
I noticed the major drawback for me last year was the distance which cause poor monitoring.
I have made aggreement with a big farm this year with over 200 acres, so i will be doing the contract farming with them alone and it is close to my base in ogun state, so weekly monitoring won't be an issue as my farm manager will be going there for weekly update.
Concerning yours, can't you run irrigation since it is a small farm.

OK.. That's a good plan. May God bless it, Ameen.

I'm somewhere in the North East at the moment, Irrigation won't be possible for now, as its a temporary stay. I'm hoping to set up my farm southwest soonest, God's Willing. Using here as a stepping stone to garner the necessary experience

From my experience, i noticed most nigerians are very lazy. They just want everything virtually free.
They regularly complain about government not helping but if the government do, they will abuse the program.
I did a contract farming in ogun state and niger state last year, gave the lazy complaining farmers all needed farming inputs and all they should do is farm and monitor and i will offtake at the end of the harvest.

The ones in the north sold virtually everything and just showed me about 10% of the harvest as what they had.
The one in ogun state is the worst, despite complaining of being broke to get workers, gave her 100k but she squandered it giving me stupid excuses.
She didn't even use the seeds and chemicals given her, had to collect them from her later but couldn't get back my money and this is a practising farmer for God sake.
All this behaviours and attitudes chase away investors in nigeria. Nigerians are too insincere and thieves.
Even my factory manager is not left out, everybody trying to see how they ca squeeze you.

So sorry about the traumatic experience... Been following your groundnut thread, and was hoping for a bumper harvest for you. What's the way out now?

I do a little backyard farming of beans and groundnut. Didn't yield as I'd anticipated due to the rain break

Since you're building it on 5acres you're good to go with the plan if you already have market for it. Plan for hydroponic folder along as well because it'll reduce the cost of feeding by 70%. There is a guy around Ọ̀yọ́ town who is into livestock and poultry, you can contact him and tour his farm he'll help you.

What's the name of the farm, and his contact Pls?

Kano, Warawa.

OK..

Farouq94:
What breed of sheep are these? I have never seen an all black breed of sheep in Nigeria. And also what do you feed them?

I rear the Balami sheep, the largest breed in Nigeria. Sheep farming is profitable but its a long term venture. The rams command a higher price only during festive seasons or when you’re selling to breeders.

Where's your farm located in the North?

Any luck with your request sir?
