Britain told them to abandon it and go to school... The foolish people agreed

The same Brits were haggling out fishing rights with Europe as the last component of Brexit for such a long time.

Agric in the UK and Europe are closed industries controlled by families for centuries. Try to go into the UK and see how you can break into Billings market as a fish merchant. See how it works out. Agric business in many countries are controlled by cartels.

Do you know what those who supply food to US soldiers in their warships and submarines make?

Those who got us to abandon agriculture really got us good.

You are very wrong. If you do it the old fashioned way then you are right. Employ technology if you can afford it, we are not in the stone age.

Apart from tractor and human labour what other technologies are you talking about that I should employ?

2000 to 2019

Daughter: Mom, this is who I want to marry.
Mom: What does he do for a living?
Daughter: He's a farmer.
Mom: Mtcheew. Bring me a banker, lawyer or doctor, not a farmer.

2020 (Doctors have all ran abroad because of low wage and bankers/lawyers are mostly broke now).

2020 to 2025

Daughter: Mom, this is who I want to marry.
Mom: What does he do for a living?
Daughter: He's a banker/lawyer
Mom: Mtcheew. Bring me a farmer. Or at least a yahoo boy. I want who can feed you and your children. I don't want you to suffer.

How do you deal with stones? Are there stones in it?

Nice one... And that rice go sweet die!

Just like cooking and eating fish freshly gotten from the river or lake, compared to the frozen and stored one.

Land wey we go use take do massive agriculture for South, na we dey use build hotels, filling stations, and amusement parks or malls.


At the end of the day... Average citizens can't patronise those facilities, and food still cost anyhow.

I also started farming last December. Low scale on a plot of land. Bush rat dug out and ate all the yams I planted

When did your village people become bush rats?

Watianoengineer:
Agriculture is the key to long lasting wealth but people will rather keep looking for unavailable jobs after graduation instead of going to farm

especially in the south, because in the north just ensure you have like 15m for Ransom

LocalFARMERS:


You are very correct. Alot of Young Boys in my place, farming have turned them to millionaires. As for me, I don't even buy Rice, Beans, Maize, Guinea corn, Soya Beans, Mango, Yams etc. Cause I farm them.

I love Agriculture but I don't know where to start

You should have set traps...! Pests are not uncommon in farming and agriculture.

You just have to take steps to mitigate them.

the same agriculture Fulani herdsmen are destroying... Talk another thing

LocalFARMERS:
I am a farmer. I don't buy Rice in the market. But I eat rice in my house. I always keep enough rice for my family consumption every year.

This is how I process the rice I eat in my house.

How do you de-stone your rice? Nigerian farmers sell their expensive rice without de-stoning. Do you think if one was to operate a rice de-stoning services it’ll sell amongst local farmers ?

Apart from rice, which Plants will work in a swampy area in Raining Season.
Something one can cultivate and harvest twice

Crops that thrive in swampy areas during the rainy season and can be harvested twice a year include:

1. Ugu (Fluted Pumpkin - Telfairia occidentalis) – Grows well in waterlogged areas and can be harvested multiple times by plucking the leaves.

2. Cocoyam (Colocasia esculenta/Xanthosoma sagittifolium) – Prefers wet conditions and matures in 5-7 months, with early varieties allowing for two harvests.

3. Waterleaf (Talinum triangulare) – Grows rapidly in swampy areas and can be harvested multiple times.

4. Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) – Thrives in waterlogged soils and can be harvested twice yearly if well managed.

5. Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) – Certain varieties do well in wet conditions and can produce continuously for months.

6. Banana/Plantain (Musa spp.) – Not seasonal, but suckers keep producing after the main harvest.

Mr man,
If you have a wife and SIX children or more and you have capacity to produce all the food they will eat, your blood pressure will not rise. Believe me.

I am about to eat gari in my house from cassava I farmed in 2023, and I was not even in Nigeria at the time. My boys did everything. We are still on the product and I had to give a lot of it out.

Mr man if you live in Nigeria just think of several other means of getting money….

Forget suffer

You have been eating garri with your family since 2023 and you are not even ashamed

I'd really love to grow soybeans sometime. I don't know if it grows in the South though.

That's sad. You have to take measures against those rats when you plant again.

Someone got us to abandon farming? Hmm.

Something dat farmed since 2023, why harvesting it now?

You want to claim educated but ended up sounding like a dunce all in a bid to sound woke!
So every graduate will just trek and anywhere the person sees a bush,he claims it as his own and start farming with his hands.
He then goes to any house where he sees a rice or yam seedling for example,picks as many as possible and goes back to the land he tilled with his hands alone and start planting.
Then he leaves the farm and goes back when it's harvest time to harvest the produce.
There is of course buyers already queuing up to buy up all the harvested produce!!

People making it big in farming are people farming for others. They have this plots of land but can't farm it all because of capital. They invite you to come and them. You pay for Labour fertilizer fuel for irrigation twice weekly and herbicides if needed on the farm. They use your labour to farm theirs, your fuel to irrigate theirs. They might buy fertilizer for themselves if the left overs from those they are farming for is not enough for their own plot. During harvest, you are invited so you won't feel cheated.
Smart.

It's because you are poor financially and mentally.
Na fresh u dey find, no be money.
Jim Iyke and Ramsey Noah fresh Dangote far.
But deep pockets no be by fresh.
10 kg of cocoa can buy 2 bags of rice of 50kg and change go still remain.
I mean only 10kg ohh.
So u see that dirty cocoa farmer with 2 acres, 1 hectare and above, no be ur papa mate in of pocket deepness.
U see that ur fresh guy wey get fashion boutique, wey dey shine on a daily basis, always well dressed and smelling nice, 1 hectare cocoa harvest dey open 20 of those boutiques plus 2 cars and change go still remain.

Well done op!

But for newbies, you weren’t detailed enough.
For instance, the rice grains : How were those gotten? We also didn’t get to see the rice being processed with the processor.

I have been eating gari for more than 5 decades. Only a fool is ashamed of his culture and identity.

Set multiple traps for them and sell bushmeat. Very lucrative

Nice

Depends on which type of agriculture you want to engage in. Tractors are not the only equipment used in agriculture, there are many.
