Challenges in Guinea Corn Cultivation: Lessons from a Tough Year

in Homesteading2 months ago

HELLO HIVE

During a year where there have been massive problems of food insecurity in Nigeria, there has been a different level of drive in the agriculture sector with so many people stepping into agriculture for the first time either to ease themselves of the burden of getting food an expensive rate from the market or to take advantage of whatever is going on right now that I can't fully explain to make more money and at this period seasoned farmers have to produce even more so there is no way of accepting anything lesser than the previous years.

Setting High Hopes: Planning for a Successful Season

Planting of guinea corn a grained type of sorghum was done as early as possible and the idea was to plant a lot in each hole so that I could transplant some to my other farms when it was time but that plan was affected by the inconsistent rainfall when things returned to normal it was already too late and transplanting cannot be done anymore.

What's the way forward?

Now that things have gotten to this point I have to take very good care of the small portions of land that were not affected so I can maximize the yield from these farmlands.
