The Plot
This is where I plan to plant my Maize this year. The land space is huge and I actually don't know how many plots of lands it will contain.
LOCATION:
Wamba, North central, Nigeria
It was leased out to me by a good friend of mine and my neighbor when I was living in Akwanga, Nasarawa. They have vast of land that are not even in use.
This is actually a part of their land where they don't use and he decided to release it to me after I showed interest in venturing into farming last year.
He's been doing it for years and he's the one who motivated to join and this contest is just a good opportunity for me to showcase it.
He's also the one guiding me and putting me through on how to go about it.
This is a shot I took last month during the clearing process.
The plot has no water supply though there's a stream close by. Since we are in rainy season, the rain will do the work for me. I will only have to make do of water supply from the stream during the of mixing chemicals with water to kill grasses - i.e. after planting.
I plan to make this in a large scale so will have to employ the services of laborers to assist me.
Took this shot some days after the clearing process
Grasses have already started growing and we are still waiting for rain to fall. For now, the ground is very strong so there will be no planting.
