This surrounding looks like a residential area. How do you cope with security of the farm?
It actually is not a residential area, the structures you see there are office and farm house for workers

The building you see around is office and farm house meant for farm workers and security.
The only other thing around are a few rocks

bring dis to Lagos u be a millionaire in one harvest
Still working on that tho, but I want to cover the market in my immediate environment first, then we go bigger. Although I don't mind selling to Lagos now if I can get a good link that is ready to come pick it up here. There's the potential of producing over 400 crates.

Oh, okay. Thanks, and hope it wasn't too expensive? Been thinking of getting bamboo here too in Osun state but was told that there is now an association of bamboo people whose services you will employ if you need bamboos.
Not so expensive like buying from the vendors.

I transplanted the tomato plants about 70 days ago (after 30 days in the nursery), and the very first harvest was so encouraging. Although the process was followed meticulously, with persistence and endurance, all I an do is smile and thank God.

Below is a few pictures

The things I saw on the farm this morning got me very excited. The bountiful harvests are even closer than I thought.

As promised, below are the pictures of the seedlings I'm raising for the next phase of production.

AgricultureRe: Crop Vs Animal Farming Which One Is More Profitable? by Obatobi1(m): 5:39pm On Aug 02, 2020
I believe it is mainly dependent on what you have passion for. The passion you have for it will determine how well you manage your farm (be it animal or crops). Both are profitable.

I am into both animal and crop farming and I can tell they both require different level of energy.
AgricultureRe: My Tomato Production Process by Obatobi1(op): 5:23pm On Aug 02, 2020
The detailed process with a few pictures will come later
AgricultureMy Tomato Production Process by Obatobi1(op): 5:22pm On Aug 02, 2020
I started the tomato farm about two months ago and I'm already waiting for harvest.
I will take you through the process, with some pictures too
