 Agriculture › Re: What Machine Should I Use To Harvest My Rice Faster? by Pimples(m): 7:02pm On Dec 28, 2023 |
I have been researching a much better way to harvest Rice and came across a special knife Called a SCYTHE attached to a stick. I have seen several YouTube videos of how it is used in India and I strongly believe it can be replicated here. Challenges I don't know where to buy a SCYTHE in Nigeria. I have searched both online and Offline. I intend looking for a blacksmith to see if he can make one for me and testing it's effectiveness But locating a blacksmith is also proving difficult 1 Like |

RepoMan007:It will not work that way. Reason.... As a farmer I won't recover my initial capital that way. I paid for the clearing of the land Paid for the rice seeds ( though I retained some bags with superior seeds for planting the next year.... But it quite expensive if I were to buy it) Paid for fertilizer Paid for selective and non selective chemicals Paid for transport and time spent in monitoring the farm to see how the crops are progressing and any intervention needed as well as to check for security (herdsmen or other farmers trying to encroach) Paid teenagers and other children to stay in the farm during the day to chase away birds ( birds are the highest natural pests of rice farming as they can practically eat up the whole farm if you don't make arrangements to chase them away) If I were to add all these and others contingencies I may ask you to pay 50k for an unprocessed bag of rice....which does not make business sense. We do most of these without paying ourselves or use the goodwill of friends and children around to accomplish some of these tasks |

I am currently in Edda Ebonyi State. We are massive rice cultivators. Facing similar challenges like you mentioned. I my own case the cost of Labor this year increased exponentially. No thanks to fuel subsidy. For instance we used to pay 700 to cut or harvest a portion of land but this last November we paid as much as between 2000 - 2500. Same thing with threshing or Otiti as it's locally called the price doubled to almost 2000 a bag. All of these explains the rising cost of local rice. But the worst part is how slowly it takes to cut a potion of the land using a sickle. That thing is really slow. It takes an average laborer a day to cut a potion of land which is about a plot of land. We have more than a hundred plots so imagine how many people are needed to harvest and how many days it will take. And woe betide you if the rains should meet you before you finish harvesting. andthink I have a solution. |

Eriokanmi:  Oga, what you use for your generator is LNG. (Liquidified Natural Gas). What the op used on this vehicle is CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) There's a big difference here. One is liquid the other is more dense They don't burn at the same rate. That is why it's also difficult to refill the cannisters because what you have all around is LNG gas plants and not CNG. So as he said seeing is believing. I truly believe his experiment....but the only deterrent is the unavailability of CNG refill plants 16 Likes 1 Share |

LadyG05:So the man should kill himself abi? The woman can't contribute to care for her children abi?.... Most Women will frustrate you out of the marriage so that you can put them on a payroll..... Let her keep looking for free money.... If 15k is too small, let her hand over the children to the man as am almost certain that he care for them without demanding a dime from her. 2 Likes |

Go to Google chrome and select settings...,history, ...delete browsing data for a week or 2 including cache data... That should solve it. If he has phoenix browser, he should do same. If that fails, go to settings, app management and you'll see 3 dots at the top. Select 'reset app preferences' After that on that same page, go to each individual 3rd party app and disable network access for all of them. That should definitely solve it 3 Likes |

This looks interesting. But how about getting a job after the training? Can I be self employed or will I need to apply for a Job? What industries or people will need my services and how frequently? How much can I potentially earn monthly after receiving this training? How much does the training cost? |

Many nairalanders are unimaginably ignorant.... They know nothing about Jehovah's witnesses, just hear say... They also think blood transfusions save lives.... They also seem not to understand the concept of 'consent' Or that in emergency situations where an individual is unconscious, decisions will need to be made in his or her behalf ...most likely by the spouse if married It's better to listen objectively based on the facts of the matter rather than emotionally 1 Like |

@op you need to improve your diet. lack of certain vitamins and elements can impede your immune system ability to fight off things like these... focus on taking at least 5 different fruits and 3 different vegetables on a DAILY BASIS. For the next 2 months. also consume lots of ginger and garlic. also maintain good hygiene. and stop wearing boxers or pant in the meantime |
