Sold 27 and 25k this morning.

Wow. Cucumber price is quite good in your area. Highest I heard was about 20k last week. Even 8 to 10k 2 weeks ago for white varieties.

Top ive income earner

I must confess, these vegetables in this season is indeed a gold mine. Farming vegetables is veeeeeeeeeery profitable during the dry seasons. Every bed harvested gave me twice the normal rainy seasons prices. For me, the Tete was my top earning vegetables (well, the Soko most times were dapping off), next to the Ewedu(s) . Yoruba no dey use ewedu play oooo!!! Lastly, the Soko was fair though.

Overall sales was very very profitable.

Quite a neat farm you've got. Thanks for sharing your experience with these local veges. Is it too late to make good money from them?

The Feeding:

I got them some broilers started pelleted feed (Name withheld, no free adverts ). Both the turkeys and duck responded well to the feeds so I guess I will stick to it for now.

Qasa is a wild one hahahaha I must confess. You need to see her round around with pellets in her mouth evading the turkeys who don't even recognize her presence.

😄

When they were younger (without the waterproof feathers) I didn't allow them outside their pens. But since after letting them out it was always work to get them back in their pen in the evening. They prefer to stay outdoors and when it rains they are so excited and play about in the rain. You will see them glide in the rain runoff water. They love the rain.

Concerning the source I will need to search here on nairaland again which you can also do.

Thank you

How do the Fulani chickens fare on free range during the rainy season? Year before last I experimented with female local chickens, local turkey and noiler on semi-free range. They were in a fenced area and provided feed. I sold the local chicken eggs while using the local chickens to hatch the noiler eggs and turkey eggs. Initially they were doing well and the noiler birds multiplied from about 10 to 60+ or so. But during the rainy season I lost many birds and got discouraged. Looks like free ranging during the rainy season is challenging for chickens.

Last year I started experimenting with pekin ducks. So far It seems they don't have problem with rainy season. I can't conclude yet since I had just 5, now 4 (1 entered pot). And they lay lots of eggs.

Please where did you get your Pekin ducks? I rear Muscovy ducks and the younger ones (less than four months) don't fare well under the rain. They haven't developed their waterproof feathers by then. Even the older ones like to take shelter from very heavy rains. Do well to provide some shelter for them.

Also, have you ever come across a plantain variety that fruits 2 bunches on the same tree? I am looking for the sucker of such plantain like a lost wife. I will appreciate a direction to where i can get them to buy.

My elder brother has this variety in his compound, maybe about 20 stands or so. The beauty of it is that, each bunch usually have about 50 to 55 big fingers, i have talked to them at IITA but they don't seem to know the variety.

If i see someone who can mass produce the suckers from the ones my bro has, i won't mind paying the person.

You can @Jidestroud @jidestroud. I think he has the suckers. Look for his thread on plantains.

Available and can be delivered to Ikeja. Please send me an email.

CapitalBank:
If you sell Live Turkey and can deliver to Ikeja, please indicate.

Thank you for the reply. I stay in sango but I really don’t mind anywhere in Lagos, if it’s close that’s a plus if not it’s fine as long as it’s a well stocked store that I can get anything agricultural.

Do you know Lusada? It's Ogun state though. From Sango-Atan-Lusada/Igbesa road. Just after the Lusada bridge on your way to Agbara. There's a farmercare outlet. You can't miss it. Brightly painted complex on your left. They have a relatively well-stocked shop. Initially an animal farming store, they delved into crop farming supplies about a year ago. You need to know what you want though as the current staff are still learning the ropes with respect to crop farming inputs.

In addition if you have the resources, grower mash would be ideal for their growth. If not use brewery spent grains. It's richer than corn chaff.

It's 2025, Yes we made it.

Looking forward to a bountiful success stories from us all in Christ Name, Amen.

Amen

jidestroud:
Interesting times ahead.

Why sayest thou so?

Boss @Okoroemeka, I have nothing but respect for you in this Agric space. I would urge that you look into the issue of the collection, preservation and packaging of your seeds.

I do not know the OP and have never communicated with him. However I also had issues with the pepper seeds I got from you earlier this year.

I bought red and yellow scorpion; Nsukka pepper. The pack of Nsukka (a small quantity in a different type of pack) opened and spilled before it got to me. I informed you about this.

The red and yellow scorpion seeds developed fungal attack (like in OP's picture) the yellow a few days after I bought them and the other about two weeks later, while still unopened and kept where I keep other seeds. My seeds from other companies including the okro I got from you are still ok as I write. This fungal issue caused me to plant all the red and yellow scorpion immediately and all at once unplanned as I noticed the issue. I had planned to do it in batches because of my limited space and also at the end of the year/early next year. However I had to rush to sow the seeds in June as I feared they would spoil further and no longer germinate by December.

I soaked for about two days with fungicides and had very good germination rate. I never mentioned this to you but I should have and am sorry to be bringing it out here like this now.

The third issue I have is that the fruits that came (from red and yellow scorpion) are a
wide assortment of pepper varieties: the red and yellow scorpion, and then small amounts of up to 3 or 4 other different varieties. I was suprised at this but went back to read your threads and discovered that you developed the yellow scorpion and probably the red scorpion varieties yourself. So I excused this.

Furthermore they are packed in another institutions packaging which I don't think is right.

The above are my experiences with my purchase from Okoroemeka.

OGoriola:
Hello everyone nice thread I have really learnt a lot, I’m looking for a walk in store where I can get hybrid seeds and other farm equipment like seed trays etc. does anyone know anyone around sango or inside Lagos? Thanks

How far away are you from Lusada.. or what part of Lagos specifically.

What's the average production? If you are ready with your fertilizers, let's run one and I bet you you might beat the greenhouse production. The trick is the nutrition and standard processes for high cucumber production.
I have a group on telegram if you want to learn crop nutrition

Emmachile, greetings. I'm trying to the group but the link isn't working.

miracle4:
Thanks for the insightful response

It's been a few years now since your original post. What did you do with the land.

.

Good job. Wishing you a bountiful harvest.

ThaThinka:
Thanks, but I am not looking for ebooks. They're everywhere. I prefer something practical.

What exactly do you want? Someone to invite you to their farm to intern? How far away are you willing to go? Duration? Have you sought out farms and farmers in your area?

There's a reason why millet thrives in northern Nigeria. Do your findings before you decide to grow it in the south.
