Agriculture › Re: Your Questions And Challenges About Farmlands by bamiwale(op): 8:37am On Nov 11, 2014*

RealChris:
I used to hv issues with the community youths that sit at home doing nothing than to smoke, drink n wait for farmers they can oppress for settlement. I have paid like 10k for an acre of land which is not even up to d normal measurement cos they used eye gauge to measure it for me, they refused using a tape to measure it. And 2ndly cow disturbs a lot in d place I'm farming, they eat up pple cassava farm n also eat pple water melon. I planted fluted pumpkin leaf n i'm planning to relocate by next year to any other place around Benin that is good for vegetable farming n other crops with accurate measurement on lands without community boys or youths n cows disturbing. Anyone with good place should let me know, advice n suggestions also needed. thanks.

I deduce you have raised 3 important issues here. One, the issue of proper and accurate measurement. Two, "community boys" issue in Benin area. Three, finding another farmland.

The first issue you raised is part of land management practices that still bedevil our land system. This kind of thing depends on the area where your land is located. Harmful practices like these vary from place to place and are more prominent in certain places. The disturbing thing is that reporting to the police may not achieve anything positively. Anyone with experience of dealing with "community boys", Benin branch should please share with us. The solution is usually area specific and sometimes depend on understanding the local culture.

To the second issue. I will advise that you tailor your use of the land to animal husbandry as it seems animal rearing is more prominent in the area. It is easier to deal with the problem of animals eating your crops when there are more crop farmers than animal farmers. These issues are better resolved jointly.

About the land purchase, there are places I can suggest to you in Oyo and Osun states but for the distance from your location. Coming to farm in Oyo or Osun state is complete relocation and demands a lot from someone that is a bit far like you. I hope people that are closer to you who know places that does not have the issues you have raised above would kindly suggest such to you on this thread.
All the best.

Question: How big is an acre of land?

This is a very common question I get asked, especially by aspiring and new farmers. I'm asked this almost everyday.

Now, the answer: An acre is an area of land that is 4046m² or 43560ft².
This means that if you multiply the length of the land with its breadth in meters, you get 4046; if you multiply using feet as your unit, you get 43560(assuming your land is perfectly rectangular).
If the land is not perfectly rectangular, as it normally happens, leave the calculations to the experts. But I'm sure you have an idea of what to expect.

Another way to grasp this is to know that an acre is about the same size as a standard football field (actually about 91% of the field).

Agriculture › Your Questions And Challenges About Farmlands by bamiwale(op): 1:05am On Nov 11, 2014*

In my discussions with some Nairalanders who are interested in buying or leasing farmlands, several issues have come up that I hope may be helpful to a larger audience. I hope to bring some of them to the fore through this thread and sincerely hope we can address these issues together.

So this thread is created to raise questions, concerns, challenges and issues that pertain to getting of land for agricultural purposes.

As much as I will try to address issues here, it will be highly appreciated if the experienced farmers on this forum lend us their experience.

Let all benefit from your wealth of experience.

Great job. I'm personally glad to see things like this coming out of Nigeria. It will be too bad if we start importing things like garri in the name of good packaging.

Please, just work on the business aspect of this project and make it sustainable.

It's not advisable to start poultry business on borrowed or leased land too. It's better to do your business on your own personal land, no matter how small.

If you are aspiring to start a poultry farm, here comes your opportunity to own your own land. Leasing a land to do poultry doesn't really pay. It's always better to use your own land.

HFK:
what part of Moniya? is it along the Iseyin road? What papers have you?

It's located off Iseyin road before you get to Ijaye. The main road to the village is tarred and the short part that is not tarred is very motorable.

As for papers, you will get a land purchase receipt and the deed of assignment.

Thanks.

pic or sauce else u ar a ghowt

So if you come about this kind of news, the more important thing to you will not be to warn people but taking pictures.
My source is not a newspaper or an online link as you probably expect. It's someone that works at the hospital.
And being civil pays, you don't need to be rude to make your point.
This is about lives!

Onilaiscool: If you suspect you have come in contact with someone who has Ebola, PLEASE NOTE: Running to your village will not save you! It will rather ensure that you die and that you kill your relatives too. If you develop Ebola disease while hiding from quarantine, your story will come out eventually. Without good care, Ebola will kill you painfully. The good news is, the handling of reported Ebola cases in Nigeria is excellent. Ebola fatality rates in Nigeria are the lowest in the world right now. You have a good chance of staying alive if you seek help from the right authorities. Call 0800-EBOLA-HELP (0800-326524357) now.

I think our leaders should stop apportioning blames and let us move on. When you hear these leaders speak, you will wonder how we got it wrong as a nation. Each one of them always seem to know who did all the wrong and talk as if they hold the panacea to our problems.
