lereinter:People should try and locate their farms near rivers, ponds, or streams. They can then get water to irrigate their farms manually or mechanically until the rains return. Or they should consider digging boreholes when buying farmland. The weather can be unpredictable. Cheers. |

Create a shed, get a rain water tank where rain falls from the shed into the tank. During dry or drought season, use the rain water tank to wet your plants. |

Wizuman:And you think it's easy to depend on nature to farm? Why not try and be a farmer for a season. Now tell me, what will be their fate if nature fails to deliver, as it were? Would you or your government pay them compensation for their losses? |

Life is not balanced Southerns are crying of drought while we in the north are crying of excessive rainfall. My rice farm was flooded less than a week to harvest.

budaatum:You don't know the mind of God. So you don't have to speak for him. The problem of Nigeria is bad leadership, it is people's oriented not divinely orchestrated. God is not in the habit of doing for men what men can ordinarily do for themselves. So God knows Nigeria but we inflict hardship with bad and inefficient leadership manured by tribal and religious fanatism. |

budaatum:You don't need to convince me. Deal with your believe as I deal with mine. God exists. |

Ever since I lost all my crops to drought during the long August break of 2020, I have decided never to grow any veggies without setting up drip irrigation. With irrigation you don't worry about irregular rainfall and you eventually sell at a premium price.. I am a farmer, irrigation expert and agribusiness consultant. Check our Facebook page.

This is a disheartening experience, i was with some farmers yesterday as they hope for rain and they lament this same issue .. but they blame it on rain not falling... |

budaatum:People dey use irrigation anywhere to farm becasue they can actually control it. Why depend on something like rain that you don't have control over? |

Esude007:Many Nigerians especially those in the South do not know what is really happening, truth is that food inflation will increase by more than 300 percentage next year. Almost 50 percentage of crops in the agricultural areas of North are dying due to the lack of rainfall. Nigerians should brace up. Even importation of food cannot change the impending hunger. |

LOVEGINO:How many hectares of rice, beans, corn, yam, soyabeans, does your area farm? |
| Re: Farmers: How're You Coping With The Drought? by Saintinoo(m): 5:46pm On Aug 10, 2024 |
laivwire:You guys are funny, not even open boarder can solve the problem, you think other Africa countries are not experiencing same thing? Do you know that we now export food to other Africa countries? |
| Re: Farmers: How're You Coping With The Drought? by Saintinoo(m): 5:46pm On Aug 10, 2024 |
Zonefree:You should pray for rain too. If not, you will eating only plantains for the rest of next year. |

It's really sad. Like some villages that are still under frequent attacks by bandits, still experiencing such 😭😭😭 |
| Re: Farmers: How're You Coping With The Drought? by Saintinoo(m): 5:49pm On Aug 10, 2024 |
richiemcgold:Haha, don't feel for farmers. Feel for the country. A rice farmers who is s expecting 100 bags of rice but got 50 because of the drought will sell at a higher price than the anticipated price, thereby causing food inflation. The farmer must surely have something to eat. What about the non farmer. |
| Re: Farmers: How're You Coping With The Drought? by SaturnNick(m): 5:50pm On Aug 10, 2024 |
R1234:That's like a garden. What about a large farm like maize, cassava, yam etc |
| Re: Farmers: How're You Coping With The Drought? by SaturnNick(m): 5:51pm On Aug 10, 2024 |
Redman44:You can't do that on a large farm |

sirblend:No rain in Osun state since june |

MasterJayJay:August break since April? Most of you will just open your month wide and talk on something you know nothing about. Those crops you see there have not seen good rain fall since April/May. Why didn't farmer complain for many years and just this year. You think the farmer will be affected more? Na you weh go buy their crops for market go suffer am. A bag of rice at 150k loading. |
| Re: Farmers: How're You Coping With The Drought? by Saintinoo(m): 5:54pm On Aug 10, 2024 |
WantsandMore:It's like you have never been to farm before. What should a rice farmer do with the warning? Stop farming? Rice needs steady rain of 3 months, and then there is no rain, so farmers should not farm? |
| Re: Farmers: How're You Coping With The Drought? by Saintinoo(m): 5:57pm On Aug 10, 2024 |
rainmoredays:Don't mind them, next year when prices of food skyrocket, they will sha blame Tinubu at least not farmers. |
| Re: Farmers: How're You Coping With The Drought? by Zonefree(m): 5:57pm On Aug 10, 2024 |
Saintinoo:You're right sha. I did my plantation around November last year with irrigation system. Farmers should learn to go towards that path. It's not even that expensive.
