Chidiebubeoji:
I just thought I'd confirm sir.

Please how times did you harvest this particular farm?

I just did my second harvest yesterday. 12 bags so far. We're still on

Pls how many stands did you have on your farm?

MARKET WAY.
Farmers should always work on sales of output by have atleast 2 or 3 different source as this would reduce wastage of farm produce and unfavourable pricing.

Farmerakinloye6:
Many cucumber in the market this week..I managed to sold 8.5k and 8k this morning.

Please which do you think is more profitable to plant between cucumber and tomato around August according to price trend. Provided the farmer can manage any of the two well.
Taking one plot with good irrigation for example.

I noticed the yellowing of leaves on most of the cucumber plants

mcyemite:

.
About 1500+

EricBraven:

From your picture, it looks like the rest of the leaves are ok.

For the ones that drooped, may be it's fertilizer burn, or burn from what you sprayed. If not, I'm not sure what it is...

Nawa ooo.
For the kin subsidy period
The price isn't fair at all, and they won't reduce the price they sell to their customers.
They are always willing to exploit farmers

No be small. The encouraging part is the free of charge irrigation from the rains.
No use of fuel.

Otherwise, it could have been hectic.

Honest Review of the services of providing farm workers by kpas4kpas2

After seeing a feedback from @farmerakinloye6 our reputable farmer here, that @ kpas4kpas2 was able to supply him 2 workers so I decided to try him
I paid advanced payment for two workers , the agreement was that I ll pay 15k for each worker and upon delivery I pay the balance of 15k on each worker.
The experience was not a palatable one at all after giving him a long rope to redeem himself, I just have to come to a conclusion that he is a scammer.

I sent him 30k on the first of june 2023 and he was supposed to send the workers a day or two after receiving the payment. I told him if he delivers I will still need 3-5 workers more.
Then the story started. He wanted to start working on the extra workers but I told him to send the 2 available first.
He even told me he was likely going to send 3 workers so that when they get to the park i ll send another 15k to cover for the 3rd person. But I insisted not to send 3 people , he should just deliver the 2 I paid for first cos I got workers elsewhere when he was delaying
After his phone was not reachable , he eventually called me with his wife's number and gave a story before noon that finally He sent me 1 worker and I took delivery of the guy on the 5thof June 2023.He as supposed to send one more person so I can pay him the balance of 30k but that was not forth coming
By the time it was next morning ,the so called worker came with a story that he is a student and his result just came out ,the the brother called him that he need to come and rectify something on his result as the name on the result is different from his name, so I should give him money to go back and rectify his result and then come back. It was so funny to me and I knew he is a scammer, so I ignored him. Before I knew what was happening he left the farm, so I called him and asked him where he got money as he claimed he doesnt have transport back, he started asking me to send him money that at least he worked for one day . (HE DON SEE MUMU)
Eventually the kpas4kpas2 guy (moniker on naira land, his real name is ALAKU ALFRED AKPAS LUKA) apologized and said he send another worker. So I started waiting for him and made alternative arrangement for another 4 workers elsewhere which came within 3 days.
The last time I called him , he told me the guy has finished what he went to do and looking for money to come back, I didnt buy the story , in order words I shd send money for transport . Till today 7th July 2023 (more than one month and one week) I haven't heard from him on supply of any worker . neither did he return my 30k fee. So please be careful to deal with him
