The importance of agriculture in a nation

Agriculture is the bed rock of every nation,it is a thing of joy when you put seed into the soil and watch it grow.

Few weeks later sees you nurturing the plant to health.The use of pesticide when there is a reason to apply it can not be over emphasised.

But first the need to test the soil structure to afirm if it has enough PH value required for good harvest.

Agriculture is the life line of every generation as it feeds the nation.Most Government in most countries often subsidize the cost of fertilizer and encourage farmers to buy healthy seedlings .

Mechanized farming helps to produce crops in commercial quantity, as it reduces the stress attached to ploughing the soil .What is more important is that the season as each crop has its own time and ground structure.

It is imperative for the Nigerian youth to involve themselves in this lucrative business as it folster developemt .Most graduates are wired to the fact that when they graduate from the hiigher institution they don't want to be employers of labour but would prefer to be hired .This to my believe Is living other man's dream.

Starting out as an entrepreneur is not an easy task, but the reward far out ways the risk involved .We now have Banks for instance the African developememt bank that gives out loan to would be farmers.The Nigerian youthe can take advantage of this opportunity and excel.You can choose from a variety of farm type.

You do not really need to have a degree in animal science to manage a poultry farm.You can decide to take some partime courses and read from successful farm owners.
This is a **wake up call ** for the African youth out there living other people's dream.
