Wacot yellow maize is the one planted later. My target are the feedmillers and from experience, I know they prefer the white maize to yellow hence I planted more of white 2 Likes 1 Share

emmaodet:@emmaodet, Thanks for the awesome feedback. You are very wise to have leased the land this time around. I would like to suggest that you also discuss with your farm manager on how to look into the use of greenhouse technology (from Dizengorff) or cheaper options, and hydrophonics as your agribusiness expands. I have read about folks who have used these in Lagos to grow more tomatoes, pepper, and exotic veggies using limited land space. Urban farming is key to bridging the food insecurity caused by banditry in parts of Nigeria and the Sahel region. I'll keep in touch. All the best. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Motherlove: If it is 2,000 per congo, then it is better to buy hybrid because it is treated, gives better yield and drought and disease resistant compared to local. About threshing, I bought a new thresher from china because the cost of manual threshing is becoming unbearable. In your case, you don't have a choice than to use manual labourers |

[quote author=emmaodet post=123696374]First of all, i am grateful for this forum in getting and hiring a good farm manager. My former manager frustrated me and i ran at loss last year but so far so good, the person i hired on nairaland has been faithful, loyal and hard working. [/quote if you don't mind sir, can you please employ me too sir? To add more value to the continuous development of your farm sir, thanks sir. |

emmaodet:So long as you have viable seeds, I think it would be wasteful having more than 1 seed per hole. I think it would be better applied to closing up the space gap between plants. That way you have increased yield per square area. 1 Like

Kobojunkie: I am worried about your spacing, the maize not not grow to full big cobs due to competition among themselves |

[quote author=kabanayol9 post=123752102][/quote] Let's see how it goes. Remind me by end of the year when we have done our audit and decide how many acres to add to the farm and determine people to add |

emmaodet:You mean like the ones in the pictures? I really you should do your research into optimal spacing for crops before your next planting season. Read this https://nation.africa/kenya/business/seeds-of-gold/agronomist-s-notebook-here-s-how-to-grow-maize-for-higher-yields-102530 1 Like 1 Share

emmaodet: If you know why yoke in eggs are mostly yellow then you will know that miller's prefer to use yellow corn to prepare feed for layers and when u see egg yoke that's white then it means white maize was used to prepare the feed. Most egg yoke comes in yellow coloration |
