As stated earlier its not a do or die affair bro. And until we start to appreciate some things in this country, we may not get farming right as a business. Stating that price doesn't mean something can be done. Thanks for your critics, really appreciate.

Be a bit civil? @muhamm3d may be harsh but he's right. How do you expect an investor that bought 100 acre farmland in oshun state (for example) @60k/acre to pay you 30k/acre to survey the same land and feed and transport you on top. Do you guys think at all before making these ridiculous quotations? No be only 30k/acre, you for charge 50k/acre.[/quote]

An acre is approximately 4,046 square metres or 43,560sqft if the land is measured at 60 by 120ft, making you have 6plots in an acre. But it'll be 4,033sqm if it's measured at 50 by 100ft, making it 8.7plots in an acre.

Can you please be a bit civil with your use of words hun, its not a do or die affair bro. If you're pleased we get going, otherwise you let go. So please once again be mindful of use of words. Thanks

If you are to Survey a 100 acre farmland, who's the cost?

What is farm surveying? This is the measurement of the size of a farmland. It involves mapping out of production areas, and road paths on the farm. It's crucial in farm establishment. It can be done either with the use of a GPS or tape rule.

The genesis of some failure in crop farming is the ignorant of farmland size by the farm owner. For instance a labour hired to weed a maize farm of one acre charge for the price of 1.5acre due to the lack of knowledge of the farm owner.

Advantages of farm surveying
1. It gives the size of the farmland
2. It separates production areas from non-production areas
3. It helps in forecasting expected yield
4. It helps to plan budget
5. It also helps construction of irrigation

Disadvantages
1. It involves another spending
2. It needs expertise

As we're in dry season, for those that want to start farming next wet season this is the best time to start clearing and surveying of farmland.

location in ogun state and your contact were not stated, but you can contact me through 08108776718 or 08059371220. we're currently cultivating cassava at village close to Abeokuta

ACDONCHRIS:
I am currently trying to set up a 5 - hectare Cassava Farm in Ogun State on a piece of land I am taking on lease and I'm interested in planting the TME 419 variety, but somehow busy. That is why I need someone or an organization to effectively and efficiently manage it for me until harvest.

The Farm Manager MUST possess proven experience or track records in cassava farming and processing.

The Farm Manager MUST be resident or have an operational office in Ogun State.

The Farm Manager MUST have traceable addresses and Reputable guarantors.

The Farm Manager is expected to handle or manage every stage of the cultivation process from land preparation to harvest wether I am present or not.
Reputable and Trustworthy is the word. If you know you do not meet my criteria, pls do not apply or contact me, because I will catch you soon.

I will fund the project.

It is the duty of the Farm Manager to source for very good TME 419 stems of cassava from a very reliable source, also source for chemicals, fertilizers, labour and even hire of farm machines for ploughing, tilling, harrowing for the farm, etc.

Ability of the Farm Manager to provide a very smart, quick, bankable, feasible and operational business plan/Feasibility Study or Report on the project in less than two weeks from now is an added advantage.

If you meet my requirements, respond by telling me your terms in detail. Also indicate your location and WhatsApp number for further communication.

Once I am ok with your submissions, I will contact you.
An individual or an organization is free to apply.

The time most farmers wait for is here. Here are the simple steps to follow in maize cultivation:
1. Look out for good potential buyers
2. Acquire land either lease or purchase, but i'll advise lease for a starter.
3. Get it cleared manually
4. Hire tractor to plough (turn) the soil
5. Get labourers
6. Purchase farm inputs (good maize seeds; fertilizers; and insecticides)
7. Plant your seeds after 2nd ploughing
8. Remove weeds either with chemical method with the use of selective herbicides or manual method with the use of hoe. Each with merits and demerits. Weeding would be twice during maize life circle
9. Fertilization: this would be carried out twice during the maize life circle.
10. Fumigation: spray the maize plants with insecticides when there's insects attack
11. Harvest: this is done when you must have confirm cob maturity.
Note: Cassava can be intercrop with maize.

sagacious2016:
How about using herbicide (chemical) to clear the non-woody plants before using labour to cut down the trees and shrubs?

no need of using herbicides, just clear, pack in to different part of the farm and burn before the rain become stable. You can whatsapp me through 08059371220 for proper discussion

I'll advice you look out for cheap labour outside that area, because you'll still have to plough the land and it won't be possible for tractor to move.

sagacious2016:
Please I need expert advice.

Just rented a 10 acre piece of land in Abeokuta but the money the labourers there are charging is exorbitant (18000-20000) per acre. That's about 200,000 naira alone on land clearing. But a friend suggested that I use chemical to clear the land.

So I want to know if it's advisable that I use chemical for land clearing of maize/cassava farm.

Whoever has an idea should please respond.

This is giving me sleepless nights already.

Thanks for your anticipated response.

Alpha2k:
3 acres of farmland near water adequate for irrigation is avalable for use by any intending farmer.
It is suitable for maize, watermelon and vegetables.
50k/acre. Already cleared. Just pump water and plant. Pumping machine and hoses are available on the farm. Seeds/seedlings are also available on the farm.
You have other farmers within the same place.

Location

Nigeria is known for two seasons, the dry (harmattan) and rainy (wet) seasons. I must tell you from my experience and point of view dry season farming is the best especially for vegetables (cucumber, watermelon, (tomatoes, pumpkin etc ), provided you have the resources (irrigation). My reasons; you can easily control the amount of water required, weeds problem is reduced, pests and diseases are minimal and above all more profit margin as most farmers especially southerners go to rest. No wonder the northerners are the king in vegies production. But do you realise that the southerners have more upper hand when it comes to farming, this because we're blessed with two seasons (wet and dry), yet we only utilize only one of the season (wet). Well the excuse I've come to know is that dry season farming is expensive. To be sincere I concur. But why can't we make the money during the raining season, to prepare the dry season? I can bet it that you would probably realise whatever you invest and make more profit than wet season. So what am saying in essence is that the rainy season is almost here so let's utilize this God given opportunity properly, make money and get prepared for the dry season. Because this where our forefathers got it wrong, they farm during wet and wait for the wet season. We must change that, and this is time we do that.
Crops you can plant and harvest between 2-3months are; cuccumber, watermelon, tomatoes, maize and the leafy vegs.
Common crops grown in the south during rainy season are cassava, yam, maize etc. It'll be good if you can intercrop your cassava farm with maize.
