Big Boss, mant thanks. YES, By tomorrow, planting will be completed. We had challenge of whether to buy the chemicals in Lagos & move it down or we buy at Ogbomosho. We eventually bought at Ogbomosho.
The way l see things, l may need some more suckers to cover at least two & half acres.
Best regards @ GGfadar

Let's go there. All roads lead to Ogbomosho.

Most farmers are still backward in there approach to agriculture.
I believe in Agriculture + Business =Agribusiness which amount to WEALTH.

What type of irrigation can we call the picture showing juvenile plantain

Finally becoming a farmer.

Already got u on whatsapp. Thanks

Good day all. FARMING IS THE REAL THING NOW. Let's go there.

What is your price?

Now that rain has started and will be more than needed between now and August, is it advisable to plant in September since harvest is expected to happen in December?

This is a call from a first timer.
I have 8 point of lay turkeys and 3 males in stock which l have kept for over 6 months.
They started mating few days ago, after we observed and applied dosage of Lasota.
This morning, one of them has laid an egg which means that we expect same from others.
The question l want ask is: is there a special way of keeping their eggs as we accumulate them till when they would be ready for hatchery?
Grateful for your candid advice.

[quote author=GGfadar post=34691193][/quote]Thanks so much for putting trust on me in return. So grateful to have moved all the suckers to site.
Still on the run to arrange planting.
I will still visit your farm any time you are around sir when next l visit IITA.
Also will forward balance as soon as possible.
Not at work today as body demand for rest.

Kindly prescribe the chemicals so that l make arrangement for purchase

Do you mean point of lay or old layers? Let's see the pictures.

I know you are a man of high integrity sir. I won't be able to come early as promised because l couldn't make Ibadan yesterday. But l will be there

@Ggfadar,

How advisable is it to source from different sources? Can you source it completely so that we make it just a trip?
Then you need to give discount considering self collection
