Agriculture / Cucumber Farmer Needed To Manage My Farm!!! by nhill: 11:42am On Feb 05, 2017
Hello Great Farmers

Am starting up a Cucumber Farm and I'm in need of an experienced Cucumber farmer to manage my farm. What I need is someone who will train the laborers on the farm and guide them from sowing to harvesting. You can visit the farm twice a week or more often to check on the plants and the workers. I need this immediately. Please I will be glad if you drop your phone numbers and I will give u a call.

Thanks
Agriculture / Tips To Be A Successful Farmer In Nigeria Or Anywhere In The World. by nhill: 3:47pm On Jan 14, 2017
Here are some tips that will help you become a successful farmer

Enjoy Your Business
"Relent on your ego -- never forget the people who helped you reach your goal"

Owning/operating a small business involves long hours and numerous responsibilities. To avoid becoming burned out by a busy schedule and overburdened by the endless responsibilities, enjoying the business is essential. Without enjoyment, an entrepreneur's pride in his/her business diminishes. Sadly, the business itself soon follows. To avoid losing touch with the small business, three tips from a small business forum are:

Small businesses are not 8 to 5 jobs,
Separate family and business,
The divorce rate is 5 times higher for owners of failing small businesses.
Time Management
"Focus on things that are important rather than what's urgent"

Time management is organization, "the ability to structure your life and keep tasks and information in order" (The Young Entrepreneur's Guide to Starting and Running a Small Business by Steve Mariotti). The golden rule for full-time small business owners is the 3000/500 rule: no more than 3,000 and 500 hours per year should be spent working and taking part in community and other activities, respectively. Typically, if these hours are exceeded, both family life and health will suffer. The similar rule holds true for the part-time business owners (those who have a full-time job or are starting a new business) if they exceed the 1,000/750 rule: working more than 1,000 hours per year if under age 40, and 750 hours per year if over age 40. Timely planning is the key to balancing job tasks with community and extracurricular activities. According to several small business owners, here are the top three planning strategies:

Set aside time each day for planning,
Focus on tasks and activities that are important -- in other words, focus on the $10,000 decision rather than the $10 decision,
Delegate tasks to employees.
Give Back to Community
"It just feels good"

Contributing to your local community stimulates good public relations. In turn, good public relations stimulate a loyal customer base and a long-lasting relationship with the local community. Entrepreneurs have contributed to their communities in positive ways. The following are ideas on what worked for them:

Regular advertisements in the local newspaper,
Employing local citizens into their business,
Learning how to say no. In his first year of ownership, one small business owner received a $20,000 donation request. For the good of his business, he had to say no. A smaller, more appropriate donation was given instead.
Goals/Prioritizing
"Have fun on the way to the goal"

In order for a small business to be successful, the management must have goals with the following characteristics:


Specific and timed: for example, increase sales by 20 percent in the next year.
Measurable: comparing this year's sales to last year's sales is a good measuring tool.
Attainable: "The ability to see the results of your goals while working to achieve them (Mariotti).
Rewarding: if the goal is not rewarding to the owners or employees, then there is no incentive to reach it.
Written down: goals that are written down are achieved nine times faster than those that are not.
Setting goals that meet these criteria is a helpful means of prioritization: it helps to distinguish the importance of the $10,000 goal versus the $10 goal.

Ripple Effect
"Goodwill -- The Kiss of Stress"

In the small business world, money is a precious commodity. When investing in their small businesses, owners tend to focus their attention on the initial investment -- rarely do they take into account the unexpected expenses that will occur over the next 12 to 48 months. To prevent headaches over unforeseen expenses, the "ripple effect" strategy is recommended. The ripple effect allows for unexpected expenses by simply overestimating time and capital needs by 25 percent.
