When there are only 21 assembly seat in Anambra state? Stop manufacturing lies to trend

You are wrong, Anambra has 21 local government and 30 assembly seats

We need to start dragging our governors. How can you be against local government autonomy? They actually do not mean well for us. All they do is not install figure head local government caretaker chairmen and do their biddings

90-100k if I reason all the stress, feed and medicalz. Buh Las Las e go dey olryt

consumers cannot actually pay for the chickens considering the stress the only thing they can do is to compensate farmers.

Christmas is almost here and many Farmers have raised birds specially for this season. Considering the unprecedented increase in prices of Feed, D.O.C, e.t.c experienced this year, How much are you selling your chickens and maybe turkeys? Kindly include location, weight and amount.

God bless you, Op! . I'm planning to plant Okra January or February next year and I have been trying to gather information from practicing Farmers. Your thread is coming at the right time. I would have love to ask questions but then I would wait till you complete your teachings because you would have answered majority of the question by the time you are done with the thread.

Continue the good job

Religious arguments. Practise your religion in peace and let me do the same.


Tribal arguments also

celestialAgent:
lol. Your analysis is a joke!

1.2m in Nigeria would avail you a better life than $2708 would avail you in the UK.

You even reached the monthly value without considering taxation, lmao!!!

Exactly,

I don't know why Nigerians are always swift to convert salaries in Euros, Pounds e.t.c to naira when it is obvious we don't spend those currencies here and they don't spend Naira in those countries. I see such comparison as nonse

Very terrible situation. To venture into poultry now, you need a robust budget

House, what should be the average target weight for Christmas birds?

So APC still exist in Oyo? Makinde has already won his second term bid without going to the polls

I saw a thread on the frontpage about Peter visiting Oyo state Governor
https://www.nairaland.com/7330510/oyo-state-governor-makinde-welcomes. I initially saw the thread yesterday and I chose to ignore it because I knew the pictures were old pictures. I was surprised the mod pushed the thread to frontpage without verifying. The pictures attached to the thread are old pictures taken on the 19th August, 2021 when Peter Obi visited Oyo state with the governing board of Dominican University. The mod should please remove the thread from frontpage

Nyamuri:
Lol! PDP has never governed zamfara State and has never been voted for in presidential race

PDP has governed zamfara state. The current governor was a PDP member when he started his administration until he decamped

Attit:
Since you arent using irrigation, then, keep doing it if it works for you. But it seems its no longer working for you. Why? You won't complain about this thing if it is still working for you.

We all must face the reality someday. Climate changes and many factors make farming harder every time. I up grade myself everytime. This is why I don't fight with smart thieves who partnered with me in the past, agreed on what my percentage was going to be, and they changed it. Lol. They were the most foolish people who think they were smart. I dont fight people when it comes to money. My brain is my mobile office. And I don't hide info. You just must be smart to pick gems from my post. After all, I want smart ppl to interact with me. So, why should I spell it all out here? But if you are calm and you process my posts well, believe me, everything you need is there.

If you have the opportunity to hook me on private chat, and I pick interest in you, believe me I can download my whole brain. That's me. I am moved when I see a serious and hardworking person.....not those ones that think they are smart. They soon chase away good people around them. I hope you are not like that cos people like that always complain bitterly at the end of the day. They agree to pay someone something, but when that thing starts coming out, they change it. They always promise heaven and earth when they want to employ good managers, and then, they start talking to the managers like their house helps. Imagine. They always fall. They do.


Dont ever try it without being strategic about doing it well. Leave the spot for at least 4 to 6 months if you dont farm there. If you put cucumber and corn there, you may be able to break the diseases there. Go and check those who keep violating crop rotation rule, they are always poor. They get away with it at the initial period, but they start having problems later.


Tell him to keep doing it and keep applying the fungi while you keep watching him. If he is successful after 2 years , it means his method may work. But I know that apart from soil diseases, air borne diseases and pests will accumulate there. So if his fungi can address the pests, please, kindly let us know later. We will like to understudy him.

Maybe he allows grasses and weeds on the land...of course....doing this can do it too. You may try Feb to June tomato...and leave the land till Feb to June again. It's only tomatoes there, but since you leave it, maybe it may work well. The grasses may be able to break the disease continuity.


If you want to stake and raise your game, you dont do 1 acre. You start gradually. Do not believe me...what you should do is take up what you can manage and practise well. Listen, the problem with many is that they dont want to do it themselves, or they do not have the time. Yes, in a normal world, you are supposed to call an expert and pay him for it. But Nigeria is not an ideal world. Nigeria is an imperfect case that you must do it yourself at least to get it right. Then after knowing the yield and the process, you can delegate jobs well to workers. Otherwise, you will just rely on empty barrels who are thieves. While you are planning on having income from your produce, they are planning on making income not from salary but on selling your properties or steal your produce. Since there are counter intentions and plans, you cannot be successful.

I keep telling everyone in this present Nigeria during this Buhari era that if you are a full time farmer and your family relies on you...hmmm, you better look for a small garden near you that only you will manage. If you have a bigger plot in the bush, still try to get this. Go for super high yield breeds and see how to make it extremely profitable. Know your limit. If it's only 50 plants you know your ability can take, do it well and see how to market it. At least, feed your family and pay your kids school fees. Saying you want to do 10 acres and you keep paying workers, and they keep destroying your work may not be wise. Even you have such big farmers outside, experience has taught me to keep a small garden for my family.

I had some huge expenses in other areas of my life and I sold many of my land...now, I am restrategizing...and buying again. I dont buy less than 3 plots. Why? Small garden....small garden....small garden. You can start anytime. Yes. I know what those land did for me at the time I used them. My family were all not happy I was flinging them, but deep inside, I know they are worldly things and God can bless me more. Today, they cant talk much cos they have seen actions. God made me attend to my responsibilities well. The things of this world are there...when we pass to glory...that's it. Are we going to take them along?

My point is this...focus more on what is your priority. Draw your scale of preference.

My boys who used to come from the US, UK, and Canada to farm in Naija have all stopped. Why? Security. Yes, I used to say 2ha, 4 ha...bla bla bla...do you think I am the only one there working? Of course not. They have all stopped. I was the one who told them to. Now, boys and girls have been able to get greenhouses there. From Nigeria, I researched farm allocations for the ones in the US and Canada. Those ones in the UK ...see eh...they are not smiling ooo. Land is madly costly there. Lol. Do you know I designed microgreens for one in Washington DC? And that's indoor farming. Guy turned one of his rooms to indoor veggie farm. And the boy has got his green card...so no issue with such.

Anyway, let me not digress, you must restrategize. The only thing constant in this life is change.

you are very right. It looks as if workers are on a mission to destroy farms

Right now

Thanks

It all depends on your target size. But you can calculate using the formula recommended by Oga Emmachile in one of the poultry threads. The formula is FCR × no of birds × target weight per birds and then divide the answer by 25kg which is the weight of a bag of feed. He used 1.6 as the FCR in that thread. So if your target weight is 3kg and you substitute the figures into the formula, you will have 1.6× 200× 3 which equals 960kg then 960kg divided by 25kg gives 38.4 bags. So you will be needing about 38bags +\- 2bags. I use New Hope feed and it sells for 9850 in my location. So do the math yourself

Farmers in the house, when is the best time to plant cabbage?

Go through Farmer Akinloye's tomato thread. You have ample of information there. Also, assume this your tomato project is more of a test run

abiola is the owner of concord

He didn't say Tinubu is the owner of Concord now.

JASONjnr:
I wonder what he's looking for again with all the the wealth and influence..... If not for power....


Dude was a vice president and should retire there ... Seeking to maintain the president title is a flop and shows that he's got nothing to offer except to answer the title (President).

Exactly my thought years ago but then I believe we all have ambitions and dreams and we would do anything to achieve them before we die

ghostntommy:

So for a 4kg.broiler, you get N4800? Compare it to your cost and make sure you have a 30% profit margin or else no deal.

Noted

Sunnyhillsfarms:
Same issue I'm thinking about.
I think ₦1600 would be fair..
Expert in the house please advice

someone just priced me 1,180 in fact the highest they have price is 1,200

Farmers in th house, how much is the ideal price to sell birds per kg of live weight given high cost of feed and DOC

I hope you get sellers. Most farmers won't sell at 1000 per kg. Considering the fact that D.O.Cs are sold over 500naira and most professional feeds cost 9,500 averagely

Taywon:
I also got the mail.

I think its authentic

have you made any move?
