Agriculture / Re: Farm Attendants And IT Students Needed by jethro2: 6:50pm On Aug 20, 2018
Holycity:
He didn't say he was looking for graduates, he said max is ond.... he is looking for farm attendants not farm managers ..
they are people out there looking for such opportunity, with free Accommodation I think is good for a start....

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

Omoyemi29:
So I should start paying farm attendants 200k per month when you don't even knw the capacity of the farm.... Receive sense bro

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

Agriculture / Re: Anyone Has A Farm In Igbojaye Or Ofiki In Oyo State? by jethro2: 6:21am On Jul 29, 2018
snazzyDeb:
Hello farmers. I applied for land at Ogun Osun River Basin and fortunately i was awarded farm land with the option of choosing between Igbojaye or Ofiki in Oyo state.

Does any one have any idea how these places are. I am skeptical if i should turn down the offer as i was told that there is crisis around these region. I have checked online and checked news and could not find anything of such.

Any farmer in Nairaland around that region, kindly share your experience.

Thank you.


I know several Farmers at Ogun Osun axis of Igbojaye.
The place is peaceful for farming except occasional challenges of Fulani herdsmen eating cassava farms

Agriculture / Re: I Have 1million Naira And I Want To Invest In Agriculture by jethro2: 12:48pm On Jul 21, 2018

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:


I have read so much from your thread too. And I always read you are always first to say go stay in bush.

No one is saying they must not learn. I learned. I can point to 3 or 4 people even on this nairaland who never stepped on farm to do 6 months course. For what? That Mr. A wants to stay in bush for 2 years and learn, does not mean Mr. B is not proactive and cannot add one plus one to get two.

So, for plaintain and papaya, does he need to stay in bush for 6 months? For cassava, does he need to stay in bush for one year? At least, allow him decide if he is going to settle for veggie, before proposing your six months training. . He can decide to even do livestock. Don't you get it? Why rush to tell him 12 months to set up papaya, plantain training is needed? grin

That he attends traning does not mean he cannot lose his money. Would the teacher follow him to market to sell his products when he finally finishes the so called 6 months training.

See, let the man make his research himself. Making research does not leave a single kobo from his pocket. After his resesrch if he decides to go for 10 years training, so be it. If he feels plaintain is the best for him, let him find the best place to get suckers, and negotiate well. If it is papaya, he can buy seeds or seedlings. And let him get the basis well. There is absolutely no need for any training if he choses either of the crops. Or is it 12 months cassava training?

No one is saying training is wrong. But let him do the first thing. Let him start from the market, and not from farm. That we train people does not mean we push anyone to train. If the fellow is sound, he can always teach himself and I insist. If he decides to learn by himself, so be it. He can come out fine. It is his money.

There are benefits of working in groups. But it is not for everyone.

I think you are pro organic, so I do not see how you can come learn with me cos I am not crazy about organic. I use pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizer. So, there is no point for me to come learn on your farm, and you vice versa.

If you train people, and they are succesful, good luck to them. The man only asked for opinion, and you gave yours, and I gave mine. Madam/Sir, it is always good to respect people's opinion. No need to attack anyone. I have seen you attack people unnecessarily. Not good at all.

Everyone has failed at one point. We all have our stories to tell. I have shared bad stories from my experience. So to say it is a must to go for 6 months training is not right. If your 3 to 6 months training is excellent, fine. I will not say it is bad. But it is not for everyone. And not everyone who attends 6 months training comes out succesful on his/her farm.

Hmmm. Not everyone is interested in getting paid while suffering in the bush. For what? How much will I pay trainees? Just keep it open, and let people who want to go to do 6 months in a remote area go do it. And those who can survive without it, will always be ok. Also, those who will lose their cash will surely do. Not everyone will be successful. It is a fact!

Not everyone who attends your 6 months training is satisfied. But I will still not say your program is bad. It means, it is not just for everyone. So, why force it on everyone that training is a must in the bush? I did not train in any bush, and I am comfortable today. And if you have read that I am a billionaire anywhere, you can point it out to me.

Everyone comes here for different reasons. I have shared the reasons I came here. I was reluctant to even open an account here, and you can check the date I registered. So, the purpose you registered here is not the reason someone else did. Just do not make assumptions like that. We are all different in our ways of thought. We are different. It does not make you less to think the way you think. But attacking people is just wrong. You are good in what you do, so be it.

Also, spending 6 months in a bush means there will be a whole lot of expenses too. Is the trainer going to feed him? If the farm records loss, will the trainer pay him? Won't the trainer say he destroys his farm, so no pay. We have heard a lot of stories. Many stories.

Na free world. Very very free world.

The good thing is that, the man is reading all comments. And I really like it. He gets to decide what he wants to do. No need to force 6 months training on anyone. The entrance to market plenty die. No be one route. And if he is gonna learn by failing, so be it. Wetin person never see in this life. The most important thing is that one does not give up at the end of the day. And success is sure.

Finally, did you go for 12 months training before you started? If you had attended one before setting up, did it stop you from not making loss at a point in this your career? And if you did not, are you not still standing despite the challenges? What really helped you survive the chalenges, the six months training? Please, if you do not answer these questions honsestly and truthfully, do not quote me again sir/ma.

Blessings!
Agriculture / Re: I Have 1million Naira And I Want To Invest In Agriculture by jethro2: 11:00am On Jul 21, 2018
Bonn01:
I reside in Ibadan and I have 1million naira I want to invest in any agriculture enterprise. I need suggestions.

N.B: I have I an acre of land also

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

Agriculture / Re: I Have 1million Naira And I Want To Invest In Agriculture by jethro2: 10:20am On Jul 21, 2018
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:
@kunleweb, good suggestion. I understand you very well.

OP, be an entrepreneur before becoming a farmer. There is wealth of information here on nairaland you can use. However, it may be exhausting, and you may not know where to start. I feel you.

Let me help you, start with market research to know what to do.

First: Decide if it is long term biz or short term.
Second: livestock or crops.
Third: Do you want to own a farm or you want to do processing and packaging?

And many more questions you must answer.

1 million naira is nothing these days. At the same time, you can use it to build a good business. So, it can fly away in just a twinkling of an eye, or can build an empire.

Listen, if you are smart, you do not need to attend any training on farm for 6 months. Some people need it, while some do not. I did not attend any training before I started. I trained myself. All I did was to attach myself to experts. And today, those experts consult me. Also, buying seed from sellers who work with experienced farmers is rewarding. As soon as they know you are their customer, they can even visit your farm.

But if you think you need to be on farm for 12 months, go for it. For livestock, try to make yourself worthy so you can observe a farmer. There are procedures you must learn with livestocks, and secrets you must know. You may need to know hydroponic to survive some livestock businesses, and you may need to formulate your feed to perform excellently in others. You may need to study hard too. Do not be deceived, you will need the internet for serious research, except you want to rely on another person. And once you do that, you cannot be better than him/her.

I think it is easier to start crops than livestocks. Just my own accessment. And it seems the profit in crops is more than livestocks farming. Just my personal opinion too.

If you have time, and you can monitor your farm, go for veggie. If you do not have time, go for trees: papaya or plantain. Make sure you make research very well. Do not just buy suckers from anyone. You can get good deals. I mean excellent deals than those on this nairaland.

Let me ask you, if you are doing plantain or papaya, are you going to stay with a farmer in the bush for 6 months to learn? grin Maybe with veggie, ok. Maybe. But even you are doing veggie, it may not take you that long period to get it right. It is a fact I can defend anywhere. And you do not need to suffer yourself in the bush for the sake of learning. You can teach yourself. The teacher teaching you might not attend 6 months program when s(he) started, so why can't you not do it without 6 months training? But anyone whose intelligence level is low may stay up to 12 months and serve the trainer very well. Not bad! It is a matter of choice.

Let me ask you this again. There are big boys in the oil sector that own farms. Do you think they went for training in a bush for 6 months? grin Let us be realistic. Where is the time to go for training? OP, if you're rich, and you've like 30 million naira to invest, do you see yourself spending 6 months in a bush? Be realistic.

So, ask yourself, what did those successful people do? Go ask most of those who jumped to farm for 6 months training without carrying out proper research, they graduated, and started working for big boys earning N30,000 to N50,000 monthly salary. It is a fact. You have this 1 million naira, make sure you do not squander it. If you do, you will also turn to " a beg to apply as a supervisor/manager on farms, i learned in the bush for 12 months, I am experienced" lol..

Market Research First! Business Research follows! Then, get involved with people who will help, and not those who will destroy you. It is a process you need to take. When you have carried out your research excellently, no one can easily destroy you. But when you are lazy, you are a free meat for them.

It is your money. Sit down, make thorough research. Find fish farmers and ask many questions. When you are done, move to a pig farmers. Snail, poultry, grasscutter, rabbit, cattle, goat, sheep, etc. Take note everything. Then, move to crops: cassava, plantain, pineapple, veggie, papaya, etc.

I feel your pain sir. I can give you free info on veggie, papaya, plantain, pineapple and some other stuff. Then, i can link you with another trusted farmer who can add more to it, and also give you info on fish, poultry, rabbit and grasscutter. If he knows you are from me, he will attend to you. I can give you livestock info, but I will let the guy who knows short cuts and deeper secrets to take you. Afterall, if I want to do any of them, I will have to consult him too.

Thenafter, approach other farmers for more info. Compare everytning you have. Then, sit down and decide what you want to do. It will take you time, but it is worth it at the end of the day.

I do not spoon feed. If you can tweak your brain, you will enjoy working with me. If you cannot, you will find it frustrating. It is the truth. Decision making is a process.

More areas of thought:

1. I want to recover my investment fast, and my level of risk taking is high.

2. I want an extreme low risk area, and I do not mind low ROI. I just do not want to lose my money

3. I can afford to spend millions continuously for 5 years before making profit. But when the profit starts coming, they are like money rituals.

4. I cannot visit my farms, except on weekends.

5. I have more than enough time to sleep on farm and monitor workers. And so on.....

Cucumber farming has gained ground in Nigeria. Most educated people starting out in farming prefer to try cucumber farming because of its money making potential.

Cucumbers are water filled pod like fruits that grow on vines. The leaves of cucumber plants are broad. Cucumber plants start producing fruits after 40-60 days of sowing of their seeds.

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

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

Agriculture / Re: Why Cassava Farmers Should Choose The TME 419 Variety by jethro2: 6:05am On Jun 30, 2018
mamaaustin:


So this evening, I just finished processing a pilot batch of my TME 419 garri. As a garri connoisseur and from the state known for the production of the best quality garri and......it was a success. This Garri is so dry and crunchy, we even used it to make eba and it was smooth like semo. Why am I going in to so much detail, because so many people said that this stem was not good for garri production and so far so good.

The garri produced is roughly 10 rubber measures and was produced from two 50kg bags (rice bags) of raw cassava.

Anyway a picture is worth a thousand words so the pictures are hereby uploaded. Thanks to Jethro for all her support and timely advice.




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:
Hello Nairaladers,
I reside in warri Delta state, and I have this passion for Agriculture.

My area of interest is cucumber, but I dont have the idea, I had to contact two different nairaladers on these forum, surprisingly, I was ask to pay twenty thousand naira for three days training by one Mr Israel while another guy (Jay Jay) said I should pay in eight thousand naira into his account before he can send me his eBook.

I know that knowledge is not acquired on a free mode, but I also believe that there are people that are ready to impact others with knowledge they've acquired, and as a result become a mentor to those that are ready to learn, that's the main reason for this write up.

Please I need somebody with vast knowledge of cucumber farming to help me or guild me on how to go about it.

I want to start it on a small scale size of 100X50 plot of land, also I will like to know if forty thousand naira capital can be enough to invest on it.

Thank you and God bless

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.

Hello...Thanks for all dis info on cassava. Pls like how many pick up can someone get on an hectare of cassava with TME variety?

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

Hi Jethro2

When you say it has too much water content, doesn't that just mean it will take longer time to dry so it can still be used for garri processing?

What cassava stem variety is good for garri then and do we have a hybrid that satisfies both starch companies and garri producers?

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

Good evening all

pls I have a question

how many capta of cassava can be gotten from an acre of land? also what s the price range

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

pls i need your experience on this. I heard from someone that TME 419 is yellowish in colour which doesn't favour cassava flour(elubo) except for garri and others only? is it true?

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
