22,000 fresh cobs of maize will give u approximately 61-62 bags of maize(my local standard) (the bigger the cobs d lesser maize goes into the bags)(approximately 350 in a bag)

Yes, this estimation is in line with the average conversion that I know, too. Excellent.

22,000 dry cobs of maize, i can't say becos that is where we start knowing maize pass maize, ive seen varieties that once its thrashed d bulk of d maize is the maize seeds and with 22,000 cobs you will get about 30-40 bags of dry maize

For dry maize i dare say it will vary

Sure, because the rate of dryness determines the weight and how bulky it is. The size of the grains, the shell weight itself, and even the starch inside. I totally agree with you.

So, let use 30 - 40 bags with an average of 35 bags. Of course, this is where the efficiency and smartness of farmers come in. A smart farmer will tweak his output with seed varieties, crop management, theft control, harvesting methods, etc, to increase yield. Exactly what you were trying to say initially. I know these factors will set in, but we will make a very good assumption and do the calculation, then we will put notes for these factors that affect the final output. So, smart farmers know the hurdles ahead and profer likely solutions before embarking on the journey.

My marginal output is 2bags per alakpin(dats half a plot to a layman)

On very bad harvest i get 1bags per alakpin

I hardly allow my maize to dry cos I cant secure it but I have maize drying down now and i will give you my own update and result soonest dat should be august ending by Gods grace

I have people living on my farm this year

Excellent. I would like to know your own yield. Thanks for this. Sure, August is around the corner. We will discuss and see how to tweak your production to even achieve higher or tweak sales for more profit.

My comment on your quick estimation and analysis of dried corn and wet corn sales based on your experience on your farm

Fresh Corn Cobs
61 bags = 21,350 cobs. Can you see that my 22,000 plant population is in line with this estimation? This is my job. When I tell you something, listen. I always tell farmers. Of course, with a planter and even high efficiency, it is higher. Another issue is that you will get almost times 1.5 to 1.7 if a good variety is used and the soil is good despite having 22,000 plant population. So, you can see my point. Anyway, let's use your figure, which is 21,350 cobs of fresh corn.

Dried Corn Grains
Using 35 bags as your output (I assume these bags are grains and not dried cobs with grains still intact...final product, I mean. If not, kindly correct me).

What Next
1. What are the total sales of 21,350 fresh corn cobs?
2. What are the total sales of 35 bags of dried corn grains?

3. We will still make a quick estimate of the cost of start-up cost, cost of production, and expenses. Then, we will subtract the total of these costs from the total sales generated above.

This is a mini business plan I'm writing here for you. And then, you can see one or two things you may have ignored.

betabread:
Cost

To get good agronomic practices with 70*25 is possible but would be expensive......

My current record is 3.5 bags on half a plot but 2bags is a consistent result 4 me......

One silly thing i know about maize is dat not all maize will become ripe for picking at once no matter d hybrid, once u harvest just 4get about pucking d remaining some other times as every hungry soul raids ur farm

Secondly all buyers will cull umwanted cobs from d stack(4 me dis wasted cobs will still mature if left alone and contribute to final grain count

I dont bother about population count as ur yield usually depends on how good ur agronomic practices are, For maize, I choose to remain at a level where errors would be 4given......

2 weeks drought on 70*25 is not as forgiving as 90*90

All in all i just strive to make profit

Please stop this. We are talking about sales ONLY here with comparison.

You wrote that dried maize is more profitable than fresh maize. So how should we do it? The right way is to have an estimation of both with the same yield side by side and them see which gi is more profit. Don't you get it?

Don't digress into production. That you said is the bone of contention I am interested in. If you want to investigate something... you focus on it. All these issues you raised are peculiar to you as far as I am concerned. Other farmers may not face them. So, do you use your inefficiency to predict output to to estimation for the general public.

Having said the above, leave production alone. I am not interested in production for now. Leave the stories about planters, management of 20 by 70 Side. You are the one who doesn't know how to manage su h plant... Many farmers have perfected it. So, leave the stories about your inefficiency aside.

Now, go back to my post and get us the estimation of how dried maize is more profitable. If you can not do it, then it means you don't know about it. Period. If you can not do the estimation, then keep quiet and NEVER make such bold statements again. You can't estimate, but you are telling the general public dried maize is more profitable. This is how you mislead people.


Your inefficiency is your issue, which you should try to correct... rather, you want to use more land because you can easily bombard the whole grains with chemicals. Anyway, I am still not interested in production cos you want to divert the topic.

Oga....now back to the estimation. The assumptions are there in my post. I will put it here again.


Use the following figures:

Option
Farmer decided to use 70cm by 25cm planting space. Let's assume everything is filled up. So that plant population is approx. 22,000.

Fresh
Harvest: 22,000 fresh cobs.


Dried
Use a variety you know very well. Give us the usual output if 22,000 plant population is used. Tell us the tons 22,000 dried corn will give.


So, compare the two prices. Let's see.


Option 2
Your output is 2 bags per plot from the highlighted part of your post. 2 bags of dried grains or 2 bags of fresh cobs? Now, explain what you are saying. Then, convert that to the other one and give us a proper estimation. What I am saying is that if it is 2 bags of fresh cobs, you will tell us how many kg it is when dried and shelled. If it is 2 bags of dried grains, you will tell us the number of cobs it is and show us how you get it. Also, put all the factors you raised above concerning harvesting and bla bla bla into your estimation. I want to see the real estimated conversion and your method of doing it. If you can not do this, please keep quiet and stop misleading the general public.

I am waiting for the figures. If your figures make sense, then you are right. I'm not arguing with anyone....but all I need is the proof.

So get your pen and calculator....or smart phone ready. Let's go there.

betabread:
Receipe for disaster if you want to sell fresh cobs except you be maize farm God

betabread:
70*25 for me can only be done by machines and I don't have one, d money spent on buying planter would rather go into clearing more land and herbicide


To tell u d truth once you move away from 70*25 maize cultivation starts becoming a little forgiving, as you don't have to get everything perfect

Very funny comments..lol.

Why are you making bold statements that fresh maize is not profitable at this time? I gave you a simple estimation...and you are talking about a planter. What's the correlation between a planter and this estimation? If you can't make this estimation, how can you know which is more profitable?

betabread:
I will eat my advice to you, it is a poor advice for this year

Maize yesterday was sold for 110k per 100kg bag and 10k for dehusked dry maize in 3/4 chicken feed bag

I dont know where d country is going, if maize can be this expensive in the village, i can imagine the price in cities

Worst part of it all is that at the current exchange rate maize is cheaper in nigeria that the current intetnational price

With the current price trajectory of dry maize its a waste if you sell fresh maize especially if you planted a good hybrid that has more seed to stalk ratio

Let's be more accurate with your analysis. Let's do this. Let's say the same farmer with the same efficiency sells 1 acre fresh and dried corn. Let's do this.

Use the following figures:

Farmer decided to use 70cm by 25cm planting space. Let's assume everything is filled up. So that plant population is approx. 22,000.

Fresh
Harvest: 22,000 fresh cobs.


Dried
Use a variety you know very well. Give us the usual output if 22,000 plant population is used. Tell us the tons 22,000 dried corn will give.


So, compare the two prices. Let's see.

Thank God! At last. I have been praying for this law to be enacted in Lagos a long time. Go and see how wide roads are turned to a single lane because of double and even triple lanes parking in Lagos. It is a nightmare. I always mark streets with wide roads, and I don't take them because that the parking fround for the residence of the area. And then, many houses owners don't even bother to create parking spaces in their compound...they will build minimum of six apartments in half of a plot, and at times there can be around 12 to 20 or even more cars residence of that building alone have. And that's how many houses are in Lagos. If we have just 2 of such houses in a street....mehn...na war. Such streets are always blocked.

Most aren't interested in climate change, but there lies good health. This is paramount.

For example...i pity those rushing to buy land near Dangote refinery for their personal homes. OK ooo. The truth is that the world needs to get rid of fossil fuels. It has caused too much damage to this plane.

Energy is a necessity, but burning carbon is a wrong strategy to generate electricity. It is at the high cost of our health. But most don't still get it.

It is well.

Lagos and Ogun States need to wake up quickly, especially Lagos. Most bungalows should be levelled, and a minimum of 10 building levels need to be what we should have. Also, terrace buildings should be the structure we need to be using now. Honestly, this is what Lagos needs now... so that these estate people can be stopped from moving into inner reserved areas. And then, we need to leave forest alone....they are just moving inside and damaging the ecosystem. With this system, estate management companies can apply for contracts to build sky scrappers instead of building estates everywhere. Sky scrappers are what we need in Lagos.

The common thing with President OBJ and Prof Soyinka is that they both have gardens. Period!!! Good natural food, good health.

Every disaster provides politicians with a strategic opportunity to position themselves as empathic listeners.

Exactly

The war against crimes and corruption in the oil sector and other areas must be won before we see significant positive impact I the lives of Nigerians..in fact, tackling this alone without big shots in economics will do wonders. Defeating oil thefts while we have a local man as the finance minister and economic coordinator will be more reward than having 1,000 Ngozi Iweala while theft is not tackled.

But I doubt if this government is sincere about this. My guess is that only oppositions and small fighters will lose out.

Dangote and Otedola's interests are so high in this business now; hence, they may be backbone with the government doing this. Why? To crush less powerful Nd illegal market shares. Another monopoly is what we might see. I can't say for sure, but this is what it looks like to me.

Hmmmm! May God save Nigeria.


Honestly....I see Nigerians in chains soon. The idea might be to try to make basic needs available, but getting these things might mean having a huge burden. This might be the UK pro max in Nigeria.

I believe this can be achieved easily; however, it may be the Nogerian case as usual where only less than 0.0005% of the Nigerian population who dined and wined with politicians might benefit for this while the majority still be suffering.

The government might likely make Nigerians dependants on loans. In short, I see a situation where people might be heavily burdened with huge debt, and they might not be able to get out of it; however, they might try to give basic needs of life. It might be the case of the UK, and my guess is that it might be worse. Inflation might not come down easily with what I am seeing. The objective here might likely be a way to make Nigerians go through life, but not so freely. Mark my words.

Obi don teach am a big lesson he will never forget in his life. Lol.

lexy2014:
how is Reno of sound mind? what has he said that demonstrates such?

are you not being carried away with words and figures that shroud the truth?

can you tell me what is good about the analysis?

do you know where Reno lives?

how then is he now able to tell us that things are ok in nigeria when he does not buy fuel in nigeria or patronise markets in nigeria?

which money is making from youtube?

when he was defending jonathan, was it for free?

what makes you think he is defending tinubu for free?

1: The International Monetary Fund showed 3.1% GDP growth rate in 2024

2: ₦6.52 trillion trade surplus in the first quarter of 2024

3. Nigeria is now a net exporter of clement to Europe and a growing exporter of refined petroleum products to Europe and West African states. (Or have you not heard about Dangote refinery and the new updates about cement?)

4. A beg...return to the post...I can't continue spoon feeding you...find 5 , 6, 7, etc yourself.

____________________
Your point is if Nigerians are feeling these progress. Nope. I agree with you. Why not? That's the answer you need. Maybe you will help yourself with my past posts to find your answers.

Is Nigeria still in poverty? Yes. Why is this so? I can't keep repeating the same. Go through my past posts.

The bone of contention is Dele Momodu's conclusion that Nigeria's economy is totally collapsed. With the figures and what we can see...no no no. Yes, Nigeria is still making money, but it is not circulating. That's the issue. Dele did not point to the real issue. He is not smart.

You are also not smart. If you are, you would have seen what we are saying. Will Omokri still criticise Tinubu? Definitely, yes. The main issue is that Tinubu is not tackling corruption, and I don't expect him to. Tinubu will make the economy a bit ok... but his carcus will only enjoy it. Suffering will still be in the land.

Do I support Tinubu? Read my posts again. But if you expect me to support Obi or Atiku...you are not ok at all. Lol.

Nigeria is in mess. No doubt. And what are our real challenges? They are corruption, tribalism, insecurity, religion clashes, cultural clashes, and overpopulation. Look at these issues and tell me who has attempted to solve these issues? Has Obi or Atiku talked about these main issues?

No matter who is there....even it is your favorite, as long as the issues I have highlighted are not addressed, the majority will be in poverty. However, the economy may not collapse...infact, it may really improve. What does that tell you? Some few are looting all the dividends. But does that make Nigeria collapse? Nope. Though, the people will continue living like it is collapsed....but it is not. When wahala wan burst, they will quickly release some benefits to ease the tension so the masses can cool off. As soon as that's over, the struggling continues. Lol.

Oga....this is how Nigeria will be until Nigeria really collapses. When Nigeria collapse, they will all run away to the nations they have acquired citizenship. Then, good people will use their own money to start building what is left over. And I think there will no longer be Nigeria then. There will be nations that will come out of it.

So, do not expect Nigeria to get better if these things I have highlighted are not addressed....though, Nigeria may be booming.

Good luck.

N70k is a piece of crap, and the truth is that most organisations cannot still pay it. Lol. This is to show that poverty is in Nigeria. But the irony is that we still have one of the best markets in Africa. No be juju be that?

So, what can be the problem? We need to look at the other economic driving factors. We don't want to address our rapid rate of reproduction. Right? The same poor people complaining can still afford to give birth to 5 children. Lol. Dey play!!!!

Another issue we still don't want to address is corruption. Right? Dey play!!!

See eh! Hunger part 2 reloading.

Jide is a loyal servant. He will go far in politics. Mark my words.

Having an analytical mind is the greatest tool in this present world. Also, the ability to process figures is one of the greatest weapons of success. You won't just do "follow follow." Reno might be so annoying, but he is of a sound mind. I believe he is needed more in the opposition that is in the government. When he was with Jonathan, he did not do such a good job. He was always defending Jonathan's weaknesses....but he is like a freelancer who has nothing to lose these days. After all, he is already making money from YouTube.....lol. but I am sure that he is hungry for a political post. Most likely eyeing for a ministerial or presidential senior assistantship position. Lol. Maybe not with Jagaban, but with a future leader. Lol. But whatever the case is now, he did a good job with this analysis.

Dele Momodu is a trash who should stay with ovation. This is my opinion. He doesn't have a presidential mind. I wonder what he was thinking when he contested for the Aso Rock job some years ago.

Hi
AnyOne have knowledge of what breed of Ducks & Geese outlets such as poultryPlaza stocks. It's funny even they don't seem to know. All they say is "it's foreign breed".

Also, anyOne know other quality sources for Ducks & Geese. I don't mean the ones people brood themselves Oooo.
Don't even bother asking me what BREED I am after either.

Please I need Verifiable Sources; I mean sources I can verify. And I need no timeWasters please.
Thanks

@sed..ulus , @FarmB..usiness , @Joo..pitar , @jides..troud , @epain..os , @Agri...tech

I am speaking for myself. If I need a full breed of anything and there is no company with the patent to produce such here, I assume the people selling such cannot be trusted. It is my policy. For example, even the Fulani chickens, you will need to go to their villages and get a full breed. The ones paraded around are not pure. I don't trust when anyone says he has full rabbit breeds also.

Therefore, if you want to breed and you need the pure breed of whatever you are doing, import such from a verified supplier. If you can't do that, have it at the back of your mind that you might not be buying what the sellers tell you they have.

Hmmm!

A quick estimation of what it will take Nigeria to be able to produce Rice and export to other West African nations

Here is my quick estimation of what it will take..... Let's assume we are 250 million. And I think we should provide a plate of rice for 250 million daily...but since I am looking into exportation, we should grow a plate of rice for 500 million people daily for 365 days.

From my research, presently, we get approx 2.5 tons of finished rice from a hectare. Hmmm..Of course, there is better yield, but let's just use this. A quick estimate is that we can get approx 16,666 plates of cooked rice from 1 hectare. So, we are going to need 30,002 hectares daily to feed our target. If we go with 90-day varieties, we will need 2.75 million hectares to be self sustainable and to export. Lol. That's roughly 27,500 sqm km of land.

It's funny that Nigeria has got around 920,074sqm km land area. Hmmmm! We need to find the total area we can irrigate...I don't have this figure....we need to look into different irrigation systems.

We need to do a better analysis than this quick one to get the real figure. It is not too hard to do. And we need artificial intelligence and data science to collate more data to help us. Then, we need to do the same for beans, soy, millet, sorghum, wheat, cassava, yam, corn, tomatoes, pepper, etc.

Of course, we may not calculate daily consumption of rice for the population...maybe three times a week...but naija dey consume rice oooo...some eat it daily...lol.

Then, we need to look at machineries that will get this job done. Also, calculate the human capital needed to fix this. Same we do for cattle and know the land area to cultivate grasses that will be sufficient.

But our government opted to import food. If we plan well, one year is enough to move Nigeria from "ebi npa wa" to abundance. Looters will NEVER allow this to work. What is wrong with us? That you are in a position to help many, and you choose to start looting. I don't get it. The money you cannot spend on yourself. You cannot even spend all on your family. So, why are you looting and moving money meant for the masses abroad so that thosenones can use it for what you refuse to use it for. We have a big problem

If no one has ever thought of doing this kind of estimation and going into it...then, we are in trouble. How can 29 trucks per state be sustainable? It's like FG is clueless. This minister of Agric is clueless. His principal, too, is not a genius, after all. The way we hyped Tinubu that he fixed Lagos. Mehn! It is obvious that he has lost many of his men who assisted him in doing some things in Lagos. He has lost people like Fasola, osinbajo, aregbesola, and many more. That's politics of bitterness for you.

Tinubu may likely fail the way I see it. The moment he could not answer questions in London during the presidential election and he delegated people to answer them... I knew we were in serious trouble. And it is already showing.

Also, Obi and Atiku have nothing to offer us. So, do not come here and start using my post to hype those two fake people. Obi, that was always quoting wrong figures.. and Atiku...the failure. Lol.

We are in serious trouble in Nigeria. The farmine that is coming....mehn! Una go collect. If you survive the farmine coming....thank your God. And I think the best way is that you go buy a minimum of a plot of land in a residential area. Fence it and build a small house there. 6 plots to 50 plots are better. Start by working on your soil. After 6 mths to 1 year, you should be able to start cultivating. You can grow enough cassva to make 2 bags of garri that will last you 1 year...200 tubers of yams, 5 tons of tomato and pepper....turn to paste and store....lots of vegetables.....poultry eggs and meat, rabbits...goat milk, cheese, etc.

Good luck to you all.

Tinubu will commot his eyes from the activities of this guy. Just watch. As long as he also doesn't start behaving like he is a god. This guy will make exploits this time around if he can find a way to pay homage to Tinubu while also keeping him updated on the situation. Nigeria is a deeply tribalistic nation. Lol.

The main monster destroying Nigeria is corruption aided by tribalism and religion.

I believe Dangote's refinery has made NNPC buckle up. One lesson I have learned is to always keep competition alive. Once competition exists, things will fall rightly in place. Competition of telecoms OBJ created is what we are still enjoying to date. The day FG privatise power generation and transmission, we will likely get improvement in our electricity, but it is very hard to privatise electricity generation. Securities and many issues are involved.

It is not by luck that Trump is still alive... it is God. And I think he will become the US president again. There must be a reason he was defeated the last time. Perhaps some people had to go that he was holding on to, and the only way they would leave him is if Trump left the White House. Honestly, some things happen, and we think God is against us, but the way He uses our predicaments to His glory and our uplifting can not be understood many times.

OK. Sustainability is the way forward. Lagos will definitely continue to be ahead of all other Nigerian states.

Yes. The importation of food will damage the agricultural sector. A new set of cabals will be formed. See...the hunger coming will be too much. You all know who Tinubu is.

Biafra war was lost cos Igbos have no access to food. Tinubu knows the way to capture Nigeria is controlling food. His boys will control food. Listen, hunger is coming. Real hunger is coming. Mark my words. Real hunger is coming.

Start your garden today. This is the way to survive Nigeria. If you keep waiting for thisngovernement, you will be a causality in the great farmine coming.

Yes

Exactly!

With Akpabio in that senate...I see restructuring a real possibility. I think Igbos will eventually be grateful to the southwest if this is done. Honestly....let us be real...Nigeria cannot be united. How? It is not possible. Let the core north unite with Niger and Chad, who are their brothers. The yorubas feel comfortable more with Benin Republic unification. Calabar will link more with Cameroon. While Igbos will be unique again in their world. The British damaged many things.

As soon as Tinubu is able to restructure everything, believe me....it will not take 20 years for Nigeria to break away finally.

So, let us all put violence aside. Everyone wants to leave Nigeria. The North too have seen what agriculture can give them. Of course, they are going to miss gas and oil from the south, but they are getting ready. This is why I think Tinubu is right by giving them the ministry of livestock. Let them develop that and see the dividends. If I were Tinubu, I would do the same. I would develop their heritage for them so they can let others go.

But I keep telling farmers...livestock is not about the animals, but grasses. Livestock farmers are first grasses and legumes farmers. This is the mistake Nigeria is making. As long as these herdsmen are not taught how to produce organic grasses and legumes, they will keep failing. Growing organically is the way. When cattle sees fresh cassava plants, lol....say e Don go. Why? Dem no dey use fertilizer. Believe me...cattle will consume cassava farm before corn farm. This is what I know cos I have seen it real life.

So, let us all relax. Let them keep looting. If Nigeria is not finished, we won't have new nations. So...I don't cry with the hardship going on. How can you sustain a nation with the corruption going on? No way. And we close eyes when our tribe is looting. Lol. Nigeri must die...and there will be many casualties.

Hunger has just started. Believe me. Real hunger is coming. That time that senators will have nothing to loot again is the time we will start building this nation. The time that Abuja work will be volunteers doing it. All looters will take off from Naija and lavish their wealth abroad. Let them go. They will leave the nation in ruin like Jerusalem. Then, Nahemiahs will return to start building fractions of Nigeria. It will not be built as Nigeria again but as nations from it. Then, the people who survive the hardship will start living again.

How do you survive this hardship?
Go buy a minimum of a plot of land and install a borehole there. Erect a two bedroom flat. It's better to have 6 plots of land. Then, start making your soil fertile. Unfortunately, most people have forgotten about farming. Anyway....with manure, green and brown materials, compost with good microorganisms can be made. Go learn how to do this. It is gold. Build your soil structure.....and grow your food.

Let me give you an example ...grow the following every year...possible on 6 plots of land:
200 tubers of yam
25 plantain plants
Some tubers of cassava to make garri and fufu
Grow a plot of corn like 3 times to get enough corn powder and starch
100 chickens, 10 layers to produce eggs or ducks, if you have extra land...3 to 5 Nigerian goats for milk, rabbits for meat, etc.
Enough vegetables
Beans can be grown easily, too.

Believe me...6 plots of land is able to achieve this, and you will NEVER spend 1 naira on food again. This is practically possible.

Those who can achieve the above are the ones who will survive the hunger coming. No president can help you. Even let 20 of Tinubu unify with 100 of Obi and 15 of Atiku...Nigeria will NEVER recover. Nigeria is meant to fade away.

Will you survive the hardship coming? The ball is in your court.

Please, no one should start asking me to come start their farm. I have so much to do. I am preparing for the hardship coming like Joseph. So, carry your own cross. Mine is to preach the gospel. If you have land and you want guidance, I can show you the way. Show you where to start, how to do such. But forget it...you cannot pay me to set up for you cos you cannot pay me. Forget it. So, don't even think of asking me to come. I have received such requests many times, and I will keep ignoring them. That time when real hunger comes, you will regret playing "I am busy".

Good luck to everyone.

This world is getting crazier. It's obvious that everyone wants power by all means.

Hello men,
Please, help me out. My relationship is about to fall as I'm a 2 mins man and my girl is complaining and extremely annoyed. Pls what can I do last longer? How do I last longer? I love my babe and I want to be able to knack her well. I'm so disappointed in myself.

FYI: I don’t masturbate.

No quick fix.

Possible problems:
1. More estrogen inside you
2. Hormonal imbalance
3. Inflammation
4. Infections
5. And many other issues


There is no quick solution because it took years for you to get messed up. So, one year solid treatment is a good deal.

The only fix I know is to eat food that will boost your testosterone, reduce inflammation, fix your hormones, boost immume, flush out all infections, and reset your body.

Organic food....high greens, low carbs, micronutrients, electrolytes, etc. Drinking chlorophyll water every morning will do you good also.

Good luck!

I keep saying it that traditional rulership has outlived its functions. It should be eradicated. We don't need such nonsense anymore.

Meta knows the amount they are losing. Lol. I hope Trump won't use their platforms..including Twitter.

Protect farmers from kidnappers and boko haram, solve herdmen clashes with farmers, and the result will solve over 95% of food crisis we are having in Nigeria today.

Alamu5891:
leaving corn to dry is the best option if you have a storage facility forget about boiling corn or roasting corn they have a very big disadvantages , how are you going to do the remaining corn after daily sales as everybody love fresh corn or you’re 100% sure you’ll sell off everything everyday. If you can’t allow the corn to dry market women is the next option. Here in ibadan where my farm is I’m currently selling my maize equivalent to #70 per porn buyers around the OP farm are greedy

Don't talk about what you don't know. Fresh corn makes more profit than dried. Shikena. Be humble to learn more.

Good luck!
