Agriculture / Re: Farm Attendants And IT Students Needed by jethro2: 6:50pm On Aug 20, 2018 |
Holycity: Where do we place an OND holder? School certificate or undergraduate Manual labourers in the village collect N2,000 per day, N200 for feeding. Please multiply that by a month |
Agriculture / Re: Farm Attendants And IT Students Needed by jethro2: 6:36am On Aug 20, 2018 |
Omoyemi29: Yes. Why not. People pay more than N200,000 for a work weldone. Sentiments aside. Your offer is too ridiculous. I think you should work on that instead of being sentimental. I know farms that pay N250,000 monthly to their farm manager. Yes. The manager worked for it. Farms at Epe there pay N150,000 for agronomists to work on their farm |

Omoyemi29: How do you expect them to survive with such salary per month? How do you expect them not to steal your farm produce ? Some might possibly have dependant relatives too. |

Point of correction please. Never in my life or any of my advice or suggestions have I ever or will ever advice someone to come train at my facility. No. I don't and will never do that I will always give people the best of advice because if i have had such I won't have make so much mistakes as I have made on the farm. What exactly is wrong with saying " go stay in the bush? Except the farm is at the back of his house Have you ever heard the saying "Igbelowo wa" Meaning "Money is in the bush" I would also give anything to have had the opportunity of getting the privilege that some are getting by learning from someone's experience through practical training I open thread to advertise when I want people to come for training. I don't solicit for training where people need advice on the next step to do Glad you know my antecedents of attacking people. It earns me a great name for being sensitive and always creating awareness to scam Check every of the people I have attacked like you rightly say. If the truth don't come out now, it comes out later. So I am glad that works Except you are saying I am wrong to point out whenever I feel something is wrong with someone's postulations I don't think so My 5th year and I am still learning The truth is 10 years is not enough to keep learning in that bush Farm is not a get rich quick scheme We are advising on spending a million naira wisely on the farm here. And I still maintain. He needs the practical experience. I am not the only one with practical experience. I did not advice him to do crop. I did not even advice to do fruits and vegetables. Al I say and emphasize is he should get basic knowledge, understanding, information, trainings on whatever part of agriculture he is planning to venture into Actually I didn't say in the last write up, going from catfish to poultry to goats to crop to different type of whatever form will deplete his resources faster than expected. All still boil down to picking a choice and sticking with it. True I do organic. You must have known me so well But not on this forum or where ever have I ever preached that everyone must do organic. No. Capital NO And in summary the whole thing boils to let's give advice based on what will benefit the person seeking for advice. And not based on what we think we know or want people to believe we do know Have a blessed weekend fluentinfor: |

Bonn01: Let me share few of my farm experience with you In 2013, I read so many of the exploits that people wrote on nairaland. How they make 2million from 1 acre of cassava. Someone said he is making N2million from cucumber farm And so many others All this their exploits lead me to farm. I started with 20 hectares of cassava Which completely flopped All the information on nairaland or internet are quite different from what you get to meet on ground Price of crops or livestock fluctuates Cassava currently sell for N20,000 per 3 tonnes in my place Not to divert I move to planting corn, on several acres too. Still the same thing Cucumber I have been there Tomatoes Pawpaw Soyabeans Yam Eggplant Etc All they give on line are projections. Most of the people that advise online don't have a farm. They knew nothing about the farm other than what they read in books I am still in the farm and we are getting better because we have adopted a new farming system My team grow vegetables. Sure they will tell you it's the easiest thing to grow Don't mind them ooo It's all fables Every crop has its delicacy Even livestock We have done chickens We have done rabbits We even have an industrial incubators for hatching eggs. I told my team let's face one and grow it well. So we set aside the poultry and rabbits pending Check the gric section on nairaland. Most of this advisers only last for few months or years They are nowhere to be found Someone that told me he make 2 million from cucumber showing the pictures we get to realise it's someone else farm So many abounds A word is enough for the wise Shallom 4 Likes |

I have been seeing you advice guys on every type of agriculture I will sure equate that to you running a successful farm or farms But sincerely with 1 million naira.!!!! I still maintain the OP go for intensive training first on what he want to learn. He would have finish spending the money moving from place to place with all you suggested below. You said big boys in oil company Big boys have plenty funds to play with They can afford to lose because they have plenty No real practising farmer be it the big boys or the billionaires will not get knowledge before venturing into the farm I know you are knowledgeable but sincerely the advise below is sending down his fund to the drain Agriculture is not abracadabra Ask the big boys how much they have committed You will be amazed. Millions have gone in to farm with the below mindset. Where are they? Spending 12 months in your so called bush is not even enough. After all he is planning to make money from that bush. Or will he farm in his house? He will still have to stay in that same bush for years Yes like I said you re knowledgeable But what you write down here is not for a youth starting up It's for people that have plenty funds to play with. And the advantage of working for farm owners collecting N30,000 or N50,000 are 1. He will be learning from someone experience and mistake 2. He Will ne getting paid while learning 3. He will still have his 1 million intact in the bank 4. He would be at the advantage of saving more for his intending farm. It sound easy penning it down how you learn without getting trained But you met with some expert from what you wrote And I can almost bet if you are now a billionaire from all the experience you have accumulated on the farm you won't be on nairaland right now. Personally I know I won't be cause I will be tending to my business activities or being in the Bahamas relaxing And if you are because you won't to be a mentor, what to do would have been to adopt him and let him learn from your wealth of knowledge for free I am even tempted to come and learn from your farm business because you have a whole lot of experience if you will give me a free pass Shallom fluentinfor: |

It's not about owning a farm. It's about productivity So many people want to own a land mass they can easily call their farm Imagine the scenario where you spend millions to billions setting up your farm with all modern day farm machineries, boreholes, standard farm structures etc and you lack good management thereby losing all the funds I know several farms scattered over Nigeria especially in the South West that has all the modern day gadgets but are not functioning due to maintenance and management The farms are locked down The equipments are rusting The buildings are deteriorating That's when thieves and scavengers are not there to select I have written severally that farming can never be an hobby Farming can never be a side business Farming can not be managed on a part time basis Farming require strong capable hand Farming require expertise. Farming is just like every other business that you give 10000% attention to for it to succeed I see so many people that just want to quickly invest something and make millions within the next 6 months Even the 3 months training is not sufficient to set up a farm sustainably. It's just preliminary My fourth year on the farm doing purely practical and I am still learning to improve the system Please dont be in hurry to set up a farm. Don't be in hurry to recoup the fund And most people actually do go for quacks to set up farm for them in the bid to spend less money They end up spending triple of the fund they are trying to save without achieving anything The Nigeria system see farm consultation as a no no. They wonder why they should pay for consultation After all they can easily get plenty internet information and others to do the work for them I have witness so many incidence I once refer some people to a consultant I know in a field since I am not in that field. They came back to tell me the consultation fee is too expensive and they got somebody else. Great. I said Few months later or years later They always come to give me the story that touches All finances gone down the drain with nothing to show for it. A word they say is enough for the wise #Yinka_Adesola 1 Like |

Agriculture / Agribusiness Investment Oppourtunities by jethro2: 8:36pm On Jul 15, 2018 |
Back to farm with an investment plan I have been away from the farm for sometime. But I actually did come back with some good tidings.. I had been meaning to keep the good tiding to myself but I read "Steve Harvey" book that prompt me to share How many of us know about the cashew nuts market early this year? For some times now cashew nuts trade has silently been on the increase. Mainly for exports Actually it's called the "Farmers Gold" in my area I wrote sometimes ago lamenting on how Farmers are turning all the farm land to cashew farm Sure they are still doing that The previous varieties we have take 3 years from planting to maturity. But science are not resting, they keep working to have improve seed of everything Hence they came out with the one of shorter life span Considering the stress of managing vegetables that require 24hrs monitoring and maintainance, cashew is relatively a child's play Now we have cashew tree that matures for harvesting between 6months-1year You transplant the seedling in a good soil And you start harvesting in 6 months What am I saying? That land at the back of your house can be utilised An hectare can take average of 200plants An acre will take average of 80 plants A plot will take average of 13 plants A tree should give you minimum of 10kg nut First harvest will be low Subject to increase A tonne of Cashew last sold between N550,000- N650,0000 Minimal management Reduced labour wahala Plenty market access Harvest for the next 15-20 years Let's plant a tree Edited Seedling is N2,000 Minimum of 10 per booking 3 weeks booking for culturing Money back guarantee 3 Likes 1 Share

Agriculture / Re: Why Cassava Farmers Should Choose The TME 419 Variety by jethro2: 6:05am On Jun 30, 2018 |
mamaaustin: Congratulations on your gari processing But please some point of correction No one wrote that TME 419 gari is not good for gari What was written is that it's mainly meant for starch production because of its high water content Ask from the gari processors in your area which variety of cassava they prefer They will pay more for other species of gari but pay less for TME 419 and its likes because the gari they will have will be smaller compared to others They will only buy TME 419 when there is no alternative I hope I clarified the statement |
Agriculture / Re: Please, I Need Help On Cucumber Cultivation by jethro2: 10:53pm On Jun 28, 2018 |
NewDawnEra: Will you be giving out the cucumber out for free when you produce it? Sure the answer is no But you expect someone to put you through the process of planting for free?? To be frank with you, there is no amount of internet reading or suggestions that will give you a break through in cucumber. You will just be wasting your fund and your time Not just cucumber, but in every farming business I will suggest you go learn from a practising practical farmer. Pay your dues and get the work done Quote me anywhere And my word will keep ringing in your head after you must have gamble with the little fund you have if you don't go an acquire practical knowledge Why did you think people run into farm and rushed back? Because they fail to plan You can't avoid practical paying experience for you to be successful in farming business. He who has ears let him hear |

ola185: The no of pick up varies depending on the soil nutrient, the water management, the diseases control and so many things. An hectare could produce 3 pick ups or more At times some farmer get a pickup Some other times se Farmers do harvest 6 7 or even more |
Agriculture / Re: Why Cassava Farmers Should Choose The TME 419 Variety by jethro2: 3:28pm On Jun 18, 2018 |
mamaaustin: The water content reduces the solid contents thereby decreasing the quantity of gari the processors will get The normal cassava gives 13-15 bags of 50kg when a 3 tons pick up of cassava is processed to gari TME and other hybrid give less quantity. Not sure there is a specific one that satissfy the two The starch processors need the water or liquid content The gari processors need the solid or particle content |

Kingdomdaughter: I want to understand you mean cabstar. 1 cabstar of cassava or 3 pick ups is expected from an acre of cassava Could be more Could be less Depending on so many factors as * The no of cassava stem planted on the acre * The no of stem that survive and grow to produce tubers * The quantity of nutrient in the soil which feed the tubers * Quantity of rainfall or water supplied to the plant * Pest and diseases control * Weed control management |

adeniyi65: TME 419 is rejected by the garri processors because it has too much water content. It's highly favoured by the starch processing factories Yellow cassava for gari is not the same as TME 419 1 Like |
