3things work together to ensure safety........
1. The road
2. The car
3. The driver

If the road is in bad shape accident can happened ...
If the car is not in good condition, accident is sure
If the driver is not worthy of using the road, accident is sure

I stand corrected, but am sure with the behaviour of those safety officer on d streat, their focus is on the car......they don't give a Bleep how bad the road is....they even take advantage of the bad road by positioning themselves just after the bad sport on the road to operate.....inside life

Note the observation below from kenfarm......info useful to farmers clearing their farmland at the moment!!


In some cases, farmers will usually like to Rake the farm to remove all dead weed cum burnt sticks but we usually advise that the dead weeds and the burnt sticks should be left on the farm land to decay. The more they decay, the more microbial activities increase which inderectly increase the organic matter concentration on the soil. When the soil organic matter increase, reuptake of nutrient increase and Evapotranspiration reduce leading to increase in moisture content of the soil.

Hence, do not clean up the farm land completely with Rake. Inorganic manure enrich the soil over a long period of time.


Also note that the use of herbicide is to be reduced at this period as the rain pours down insesantly and applying herbicide just after a rain fall or just before the rain fall is a waste of time. The rain water will dilute the concentration of the herbicide and your application will amount to a waste of precious time and resources.

Rather, do manual weeding with the appropriate farm tools at this rainy season

Cheers!!

6 REASONS WHY SOME FARMERS FAIL

People don’t just fail. People fail because they fail do certain things that they ought to do. The farming industry is replete of many farmers who have given up. Let’s quickly explore the six vital reasons why they failed.

1. They are absent. Absentee farmers will always fail. To succeed in farming, you must be around your farm most of the time one way or the other.

2. They do it alone. Those who do the farming business just by themselves without meaningful and proper interactions with farmers that matters will pack up sooner or later. No one can succeed alone. A smart farmer knows that there are webs of interactions with farmers, vets, nutritionists and other notable professionals that will make farming successful.

3. They like cheap inputs instead of going for quality. A cheap mentality at the expense of productivity will always lead to frustrations. When a farmer is fanatical about cheap inputs, he is digging his business grave.

4. They bite more than they can chew. Some farmers, in a bid to make it big fast will take on more than they can handle financially and technically. And of course they will crash!

5. They don’t keep proper records. Structures and order usually bring increase. What you don’t measure may not grow and may even die.

6. They focus more on work than science. One Israeli prime minister once said that agriculture is 95 percent science and 5 percent work. When a farmer focuses more on activities than the laid down scientific obligations, he is bound to fail.

Example is failing to test yur soil fertility before cultivation

Number 3 is more common and applicable to those who compromise standard. When you go for cheap sucker thinking you are playing smart, often time at harvest you will realise you have made a huge mistake.

Is still safe to do your Planting. You can oder for our treated hybrid sucker. You seed is your farm trade mark .....make no mistake of purchasing non-viable seed because it is cheap. You end up wasting presious time, resources and energy

Vital info for new plantain plantation owner
The info was necessary because of Qs new and potential plantain farmer usually ask on my SM pages

1. When a sucker is 6months, it has attain puberty and any treatment in terms of nutrient addition is a pure waste of time and resources. All nutrient application is to be done b4 the sucker is 6months. It takes the sucker 5-6months to take all it need to produce good fruit from the soil. Any further application of nutrient after 6months will only make the sucker pseudo-stem grow fatter. I don't think you intend to sell the pseudo-stem

2. A sucker stem that has not bear a fruit will always continue to grow even when it cut off. But the moment it bear fruit it has completed it life-cycle. So whether you cut it or not, it will whether off. This is the reason we often cut off the sucker after cutting off the bunch. Cutting off the sucker will enable more offspring to shoot out around the parent.

3. After 4weeks of transplanting, always apply fertilizer (NPK 12:12:17). If you have access to potash (Eru from Aro) then apply to the base of each stand. When the sucker attain puberty, then heap soil round the base to fortify the root and to enhance more suckers growing around the parent.

Kenfarm has never and will never be involve in any form of investment. Before you send money to anybody for any investment do tour background check.

Kenfarm is a reputable AgroFirm that specialized in Crop production.

I repeat, we are not into eny form of investment scheme.

Let nobody call my line in respect to any investment scheme.

I have informed my URL manager to investigate on who is using my website and phone line to operate any form of investment scheme

Take note pls....26/June/2020

Have you confirm the fertility if that soil before you invest your cash, effort and time into it?.........do not use a top-down approach. I mean to say some foks will plant on that soil without ascertaining the soil fertility....so after the season and they experience a very poor yield, they will then consider doing a soil test of the soil.

Nevertheless, whether you plant then do the soil test later or you do it before you plant...it all good you know your soil fertility.
But doing it before planting will save you lot of avoidable expenses.

How is the rain in your farm area?
Cheers

To what end please ..If you a fail to report with 36 hours of it happening you are giving the rapist 80 percent chance of escaping justice.. for a rape being reported after years there is little or nothing any police investigation can work with as there is no material evidence that can be used , no doctors report, no DNA sample and worse still no CCTV footage ..the IG should stop playing to gallery abeg

U have a point

Picture below is our today hybrid sucker delivery to Owode, Ogun State.

Whether you will smile to the bank at harvest time or not privilege to visit the bank to deposit your farm out pit depend on the following factors:
1. If you have planted a viable hybrid sucker
2. If your soil fertility is good enough to supply needed nutrient
3. If you are able to control weed, disease and natural disaster
4. If your farm manager is knowledgeable enough to manage your plantation

All these factors above play together to determine your output at harvest.... Kenfarm will help you put all these factors to your advantage.

Are you aware that your farm soil being Heterogeneous has lot of implication on choice of crop to plant? And amelioration measure to adopt?

Get us to do a physical examination of your farm soil and demonstrate to you the merit of knowing the physical and Biological characteristics of your farm soil

Detail on the 2above Qs will be explain in our subsequent post
Cheers!

Ascertaining your farm soil fertility comes with huge benefit. What you stand to gain is more than the cost. Before investing your cash in that soil, be sure the soil still have all it takes to grow a crop.

Do you know your farm soil fertility and farm soil topography is a big deal in crop production.
Also, if your farm top soil Heterogeneous, then it simp!y indicates that different type of crop will grow on specific part of the soil and if it is Homogeneous then one single type of crop can be cultivated on the soil.

Our soil test report & Recommendations will explain in details
Cheers!!

It was back then in 2013 while I was still in school. I asked this guy if he was married, he said no but my spirit kept telling me he's married.

So one day, I used my lodge mate's phone number to put a call across to him telling him am mama Ada that I want to speak with his wife that her line isn't reachable and I really need to repay the loan she gave me before I squander the money, on hearing that he started screaming ''Mummy mummy bia onwere Onye na akpo gi'' (mummy mummy come someone is calling u). I quietly switched off the phone . I later asked him if it was worth denying your wife and kids because you want what you may never get, and he couldn't answer.

Lol....u are a bundle of sense.

Are you aware that the topography of your farm soil determines the mothed of planting, spacing and depth of the planting holes.

If your farm is a slope, then i will advise you plant against gravity so that when you make heap around the base of the sucker stand, run-off will reduce. A good spacing will do lot of help and ensuring the recommended planting depth is followed. All these have a way of reducing run-off which lead to washing nutrient from the top of the slop to the bottom.

Reason crop at the bottom usually will have steady growth while that at the top show a distressed looking growth

Consult with us and we give you detail info for free if you have purchase our viable hybrid suckers.

We still have hybrid sucker available for delivery and planting

Dear all,

I really need an advice. I currently work with one of the Nigerian banks. My monthly take home is about 450k and quite good. My major problem right now is that I have just been transferred from a Branch at one end of Lagos to another end of Lagos. All efforts to convince my boss to deploy me to a closer branch has proved abortive.

Going to work daily right now is a very difficult especially during this raining season and covid 19th period. I spend roughly 3-4 hours on the road when going to work and back home.

I am currently raising my kids on my own right now and dont know how I would manage when school resumes. Before now I drop them off on my way to work in the morning and my friend picks them up to her house in the afternoon till I get back.

I currently have a savings of 2million and would love to start a biz( I dont know what kind) as am comptemplating resigning and start a biz instead so that I can have time for my kids and not die due to stress

Please i really need advice for you all.

We like to keep our esteem client up to speed

The report and pics below is to let our esteem follower understand the relevance and importance of all the information we post here.

Kenfarm was invited to salvage a farm which apear to have poor growth. The farm is 11months old now and still yet to flower talk less of fruiting.

Reasons:
1. We did a soil test on the farm before the suckers were planted, the soil test indicated that the macro nutrient was very low. Our soil test report recommendations instruct that fertilizer be added in this oder

First round of application: apply NPK 15:15:15 ( gram withheld here) 4 weeks after planting

Second round of application: apply potash of Ureat (gram with held here) or another round of NPK 15:15:15 8weeks after first application

Third round of application: apply poultry manure (gram to apply with held here)

The specific Qty of all the fertilizer to apply, method of application and time line was specified in the soil test report but farm owner didn't see need to adhere to the report

The instruction was made clear in a document and sent to farm owner but the instruction was not taken and the effect is the very poor growth rate seen in the pics below

2. The suckers were always left to compete with weed.

3. Prolonged dry season of last season also contributed to the poor growth seen this season

Kenfarm Submission:
1. When you do a soil test of your farm, do not just have a look at the document and trash it. Take not of the Qty of fertilizer the report specify you should apply. If this Qty is applied following the method advise to take, then you can say you have brought the macro nutrient to expected critical level.

When you have apply the required Qty of fertilizer, you then observe your crop appearance. They show any sign of lack of nutrient then consult us. We do another soil test but this time we test for macro nutrient and CEC value. The CEC value will reveal whether or not the nutrient you have added is available for the up take by plant. Remember, it one thing for the nutrient to be available and it another thing of it to be release and made available for crop up take.

We have seen client who do soil test and still go ahead to do a blanket application of fertilizer. Consult enlightened professional and ensure your farm manager is enlightened. It your investment, protect it

2. Do not leave the weed to compete with your crop for the nutrient you added. Subdue weed with herbicide and man your farm with worker(s) to control weed.

3. The prolonged dry season should have been taken care of by creating an alternative water supply to the suckers. When water supply stops it compromise transpiration. When transpiration is compromised the leaf become yellowish. When the leaf is yellowish, it reduces rate of photosynthesis. When the rate of photosynthesis reduce the food pathway is obstructed and the result is poor growth

Unfortunately the rain stopped in November and rain did not come down up until April. Meaning the sucker was not getting water for 4months. That crazy !!


Our proscribe solution: we advice client to clear the weed. Add plenty of poultry manure ( Qty indicated) and ensure alternative source of water is made available for the coming dry season


So do the needful by attaching all decision you take to the soil test report. If you do not do a soil test then you will be gambling ....I don't think you want to gamble with your cash

Cheers

my question is coming to Nigeria exactly to do what? start looking for a job where there is an army of unemployed citizens who can’t find jobs- you need to know someone who knows someone to get a job that you can barely survive on

And when you open a business nko, according to Fela - another wahala - no electricity to run it, no light , no ac, no fan , heat everywhere, generator buzzing left and right


and in case you are lucky to even succeed in running a business or getting a dream job, you are scared to live life like a normal human being - armed robbers everywhere, kidnappings, police and security agents harassment, poor healthcare facility, and a myriad of issues that are simple non existent where i live right now

America is not paradise but it is million miles ahead of Nigeria. the things even the dead poor people take for granted in the US are luxuries to the super rich and powerful in Nigeria.

life is not only about having chunks or bundles of currency tucked in a bank vault in your name. it is the quality of life and ease of living that matters


hell no, not relocating to Nigeria - visit Nigeria oh yess i will, stay there permanently he’ll to the NO!
