So if I want to plant something else, I can't get the free land? How much is the lease after the first year .

Thank you

Leasing is 3,000naira per acre annually

caesaraba:
Oga Hotmas, I'm definitely coming for you! Let me just finish plowing this my rice farm first.

always here for you.

You don't have to be a farmer before you profit from farmlands.

How?

Buy a large expanse of land clear it if you can afford it (it is advisable) and lease it out for short time periods.

Rationale behind this is that more people will be willing to lease instead of buying and someone must be bold enough to meet their needs.

Happy new month to all cashew farmers and traders.

NOTE: There is hybrid soybean seeds for sales to any soybean farmers.

Thanks

Happy new month to all farmers especially maize farmers.

jaz:
can maize be planted all year round and what equipment are required for mechanized farming of maize ?

Maize can be cultivated all year round, provided you have adequate plans for irrigation. Equipment for mechanized farming of maize include a tractor, plough, planter, combine harvester and irrigation equipment as the case may be.

jephito:
Which is better and more marketable.... To sell fresh or dry

I'm thinking of planting maize in my cassava farm. Is there hybrid maize? And must one use fertiliser /manure?

Definitely to sell dry is more advisable business-wise. There are hybrid seeds and fertilizer application must not be compromised either manure or synthetic

Molayan:
Pls how many marketable corn/ear is achievable on 1ha of land

With best practices, an hectare should yield up to 5 tons per hectare if not more.

Hello sir, nice to finally see you here. The promo is ending few hours from now. Old and new clients can still take advantage of it.

Thank you my sister. Obinrin bi Okunrin meta!

@hotmass. so sorry about your loss.
Better things on the way.
Reality is quite different from the quotes and expectations we quote from online.
Most results are research oriented and most researched are done under stricts conditions.
I have got my fingers burnt severally in Maize and some other crops.
But one can not be dettered
However my advice will be to work closely with our rural farmers. Use their local experience coupled with your online researched. The two can compliment each other nicely.
Don't forget to have a nearby water source.
It could save a lot.
Do have a lovely planting season.
God bless your work

Thanks for the comment, I really appreciate it

Going! going!!

Approaching the last day of March, appreciation to all who checked on us and regards to all who are about to do so.

Farmland is still available.

The end of another cashew season is fast approaching, let's use this time to talk about cultivation and maintenance.

Follow closely

Keep the calls coming, we can still handle few more. Wishing you a prosperous farming season.

who is we, just curious?

'we' is all of us at Hastom Global Services Limited.

To further reduce cost of labour and improve on our speed, we got some hand-driven seed planters.

You can pay a visit to the farmlands to verify its availability

Interesting season

Note::
Just a single person can apply for as many acres as possible ( within the 300acre range).
Any portion allocated that is not worked upon in 2weeks will be given out to someone else.

Thanks

Hastom Green City was opened last year with desire to invest heavily in cultivation of several crops. However we seek expert's opinions ( like Jasper7 for cucumber and Jethro2 for tomatoes) on best ways of going about the large scale farming.
The advice was one and simple- they said START SMALL.
We have a passion for daring new grounds so we decided to abandon vegetable and focus on somthing we can do on a LARGE SCALE. We eventually choose MAIZE.
Sincerely, we did not know so much about it and we paid dearly for the ignorance.

OUR LAST YEAR PROCESS:

LAND PREPARATION:
Our zeal propelled us to use bulldozer for clearing. In our mind we are trying to speed up things. We then later used our tractors in ploughing.
The Mistake:::
1)In the course of bulldozing, TOP SOIL of some part of the land was removed thereby reducing the potency of the land. All the same we went ahead.

SEED BUYING.
Ignorantly we went to an open market and buy maize grains. This proofed to be a poor choice.

PLANTING
1) Instead of mechanized planting, we hired manual labour. With this, we used almost a month in planting 100acres.----Time wasted.
2) Wrong Spacing: Because most of this hired labour are in a hurry, some part of the prepared land was left uncultivated and the gap between seeds were much and not uniform. This made our crop vulnerable to wind.

WEED AND PEST CONTROL
1) By the end of the planting season,our maize was struggling with weeds because we were not prepared for it and it overwhemled us. Rodents also had a great time feasting on our maize.

FERTILIZER APPLICATION
We wrongly assumed that since the land has been left fallowed for a long time,it may not require fertilizer. We were wrong because in the process of land preparation, TOP SOIL was removed in some part.





Last year, we cultivated about 100 acres of maize farm here in Ogbomosho. We harvested the yield but it was far less than our expectation.
This year again we are not deterred by the last experience, we are also going all out. This time around we hope to make the process open for nairalanders to contribute and learn from the input of our consultants.
The pictures below are our farm last year and a part of the harvest.

We have started work on our 200acres maize farm, follow this thread for updates.
