LAWS OF FARMING
1. Never use 100% chemical fertilizers that's madness blend your chemical fertilizers with organic fertilizers, chemical fertilizers alone will gradually kill your soil as it also has life like any other living things, let's organize the knowledge acquired from schools and put it to work, because without that our education is nothing it means we spent all that time and money for nothing, basics of agriculture, soil has life for us to benefit from it we need to feed it with organic matters, we can never depend on chemicals, as soil is organic, and it needs food for microorganisms movement which we can not get from chemical fertilizers
Never target peak seasons, peak seasons come with their own challenges. Be a farmer not a gambler.
2. Choose at least two main crops and a rotational crop plan. Jumping from one crop to another is not right to your pocket.
3. Plan your farm and always have the crops at different age stages, to ensure constant supply.
4. No crop that is not profitable, just master the pro and cons of a particular crop.
5. Having a lot of money is not a licence to successful farming.
6. Have a spray and fertilizer plan and stick to it.
7. There are four important decisions that farmers should make when it comes to choosing fertiliser.
First, fertiliser is chosen depending on the soil type. For sandy soils, NPK fertiliser works better than DAP. Farmers should also buy the right amount of fertiliser. The amount will depend on the recommended nutrient application rates, the target yield, the size of the farm, and the nutrient concentration of fertiliser selected, with Chemical fertilizers alone the highest yields per acre is 35 to 50 bags if you apply accordingly.
