Power Tiller

I'm thinking of getting a Power Tiller to help make my farm operations a bit more efficient.

(1) Does anyone have a first hand experience with this equipment

(2) Where can I get one and for how much?

Thanks

Please, can you mentor me on having my own first cassava harvest? I have close to 20 hectares of land ready for cassava cultivation.

Can you take me from beginning to the harvest?

Spot on!

BleSSedMee:
If you're a parent, chances are you've thought about birth order and how it affects your kids. Am I harder on my firstborn? Do my kids have a normal sibling relationship? Does the order in which the kids were born really matter in the long run?

Turns out it does. Scientists have done extensive studies on family make-up and how it affects not only how you parent, but your kids' health and personalities.


The following are some interesting facts about firstborns:



1. They're Born To Learn.

Is your oldest child a bit of a know-it-all? It could be because of their birth order. Firstborns really are born to learn, according to a 2013 study, published in the Journal of Research in Personality. Researchers at Belgium's Ghent University found that birth order actually affects a child's lifelong goals. The eldest child, they found, wants to "master" or "learn," while the second child tends to want to "win." It certainly goes hand-in-hand with number one, doesn't it? Other studies have also shown firstborns (and only children) tend to pick more academic-oriented careers as compared to their younger siblings.


2. They Are Skinnier.

That same study that found firstborns are at risk for diabetes also found eldest children tend to be taller and slimmer than their younger siblings. Why? Scientists think it comes down to the mother's uterus -- which changes after her first pregnancy.



3. They're Bossy ... If They're Females.

Not only did researchers at the Southern California Child Study Center find bossiness to be more prevalent in firstborns, but they found it to be based on gender, with eldest girls more likely to be domineering than eldest boys.


4. They're More Prone To Asthma And Allergies.

Does your eldest child have breathing issues? It might be because of their birth order! According to research presented at the American Thoracic Society's 2008 International Conference, genes act differently in firstborn kids, particularly the genes responsible for asthma and allergies!


5. They Have It The Hardest.

Tougher on your oldest child? You're not alone! When psychologists from Duke University and Washington University tackled the topic of parental rules and birth order, they found earlier-born siblings are more likely to be subject to strict rules and parental monitoring and more likely to face harsh consequences for wrongdoing than younger siblings.


6. Organised Organisers

Having spent time watching their parents do things in a more organised way than younger ones would; and having been asked countless times to coordinate their younger siblings in observing siesta or getting ready for some activity or the other, firstborns tend to be organised in their personal space whether it’s in their side of the room/wardrobe, in their academics and at work, later in life. It’s no wonder they do well in leadership positions.




Yays or Nays?

stagger, please how do I contact you for some offline tête a tête?

stagger:


OP,
You have heard it all. 4 tons of cassava produces 1 ton of garri. You have 2 hectares. Assuming all factors and theoretical projections are constant, you should be getting between 20 to 40 tons of cassava, or 5 to 10 tons of garri (i.e. fifty to one hundred 100kg bags), which should fetch you N1.13m to N2.26million in sales. Of course there is the starch by-product.



Caveat: Please, all these my figures are just projections. When you actually harvest and weigh your crop, you will know how many tons of cassava you have at your disposal. Other costs will come into play as well.

Based on feedback to an earlier post, I'm now looking into setting up a basic Garri processing operation.
Please I need advice on how to set this up.
1) What basic equipment do I need?
2) Where can I source them at good prices in the Offa area/Kwara state?
3) Cost profile, and any other relevant information?
4) Starch is a by product of Garri processing, how to I make money from it too?

Everyone guess what? I finally made a discovery. Via nairaland I made some contact who eventually told me the best chemical for treating weeds on cassava farm is "force uron". The active ingredient in this chemical is "di-uron". The contact happened to be an agrochemicals supplier who incidentally supplies agrochemicals to the person I buy these chemicals from.. Lol
The funny thing is that my neighbor on the farm who I hardly meet has confirmed to me that it is this chemical he too used to eradicate weeds on his farm
Tomorrow we will try it out unfailingly by God's grace
I will keep the house informed on my progress

Hi kigralph, please what's the update on your use of " force uron" herbicide in your Cassava farm? Was it effective against the broadleaf weed as well? What effect did it have on your Cassava crop, and the intercrop Maize?
Looking forward to your response sir.

fison:
My first ever 5 acre Cassava crop is due for harvest in September.
The farm is located around Offa in Kwara state.
Experienced farmers, please help with advice on how best to handle sale of the harvest?

I will advice you process it yourself and sell. Processing into garri pays more than selling it raw . Outright sales of cassava is N127,000 per cabster in my area while processed is N233,800, a tonne of cassava goes for 22,500 and 4 tonnes of cassava gives 1.5 tonnes of processed garri.

Processing the Cassava into Garrison appears to be the general consensus.
Any idea how much a 100kg sack of Garri sells for?
I'm thinking this would make it easier to work out the price per tonne.
Thank you very much @fison.

stagger:


You have three months. Use that time to arrange some basic garri equipment and those who will sell. Process your cassava to gari and sell the gari. Do not be tempted to try to sell the cassava. Middlemen will actually wait until you are in day 2 and almost at your wit's end before they come to offer you ridiculous prices.

Where I live, garri is now N450 a mudu.

My honest advice.

Much appreciated sir. I'll definitely look into that.

kingralph:

Honestly and from the bottom of my heart I congratulate you

Thank you sir
