We are close to finishing a section of the farm and getting ready for planting. I got a report that about 30 or so plantains were damaged by storm. Well, the good news is we will start harvesting soon. |

We only got additional 2 long term workers because of the herdsmen issue going on. Hopefully more trickle in but the contingency plan is to get temp workers at higher cost to complement the currently available workers. |

We have only seen 1/3 of expected workers arrive and it is about 2wks late now due to herdsmen security issue. The ones we have are doing their best but we hope things get better and we are able to secure all needed workers. |

That chicken manure is very good for plantain. Mulching and cutting down extra suckers so that parent can get all the nutrient helps fasten growth. OJURONGBE1: |

Update: We interplanted about 40 acres of the plantain farm with maize but only about 15 acres survived. The dry maize will be ready for harvest in a week. The plantains are already fruiting but will most likely be mature and ready for harvest around Apr - May. Workers for this year planting season are yet to arrive. |

Yes, there was rainfall but I am not yet sure of uniform harvest. Try to find good source of suckers near you so as to keep things fresh. Nezzjnr: |
