Did I make money??

Honestly No.

Did I reap anything close to what I planted??

No.



Those unforseen circumstances that hits you in agriculture that makes you very unsettled crept in and behold the entire harvest was lost except a 50kg crisp looking paddy.

Harvest is near

Procedures


I bought the seeds from a breeder. Its Ofada variety. Couldnt recall the exact kilogram bought but I'm sure I bought the recommended quantity for planting.

Seed purchase: N35000
First land preparation : N10000 just fuel
Second land preparation :
N10000 just fuel

Harrow : N10000 diesel
Seed broadcasting: 2500 ( 2 persons at N1000/day & feeding)

Seeds treatment : 750
2nd harrowing : N10000 fuel

Pre emergence herbicides ( Atraxine powder)

Rougeing : N2500
2nd Rougueing: N2500

Fertiliser: 2 bags of Npk and 2 bags of Urea at N6000 each = N24000

Harvesting: N20000

Approximately about N130,000 was spent

In response to the call by the PRESENT GOVERNMENT that Nigerians should grow what we eat. We needed to reduce our food import bill running in several billion USD $.

I responded by growing Upland rice in my town.


Farm location : Igboora In Ibarapa Central LGA of Oyo State.


Farm size: 2 acres. Slightly above 2acres but not up to an hectare.



Initial assessment: This location is a derived Savanna and so our principal crops are maize, cassava, cashew and cucumbits. I had not grown rice before but I'm aware that few of our locals used to plant rice in the swamps in the times past.

Basic Assumption#: Not much will the birds eat. I will still make my own harvest.



Financial projection: The seed breeders who sold to me had promised an harvest of 3-4tons per hectare. In my head, I calculated the N700/per Kg × 3000kg= N2,100,000 (after destoning the rice and selling retail).

Seyibelle:
I have a question,the person helping me raise my broilers says he gives them three bags of top feed everyday, they are one month old and they are 500 in number?

estimate 4kg per bird throughout there growing cycle. There are charts online detailing the exact amount each bird is to eat as each day passes by. No time. I would have helped search it out.

Hmn. It's a long story
