Farming is a good job activities that I completely embrace, I will start by saying that I have done farming before and it was really good and encouraging. I can vividly remember the time I and my mother went to bring the harvested yams home.

Based on farming experience I will say that I have done a lot in the farming world. I have ones gone to the farm for the planting of cassava while planting I was told by my mom the while planting the cassava you are expected to look at the cassava carefully and insert it in the heaps while the cassava tiny branches faces up. Mazie is one of the Cash crops everyone knows about, during the planting of mazie during this year I and my mother went to plant mazie.

Actually I was the one who planted mazie while my mother did other important things on the farm. While planting maize make sure that non of the seeds falls of to avoid animals from coming to dig the holes and removing the mazie you planted for consumption.

When practicing farming and your fertile I and losses it's fertility due continuous cultivation your are expected to practice crop rotation.

🎯 Finally, show us a picture of your farm, it could be a garden, cassava or yam farm etc. And tell us a little story about it.

The mixed cultivation of both yam, cassava and corn farm you are seeing was the farm that we started farming in as a result of our love for farming and agriculture. This farm is on a land that is very fertile which makes it the most fertile farm land in that area.

Last week on Thursday my mother, and brothers fried Garri which I helped out with the frying process while my mother and brothers filtered the Garri before frying the Garri. The cassava which was processed into the Garri was actually harvested for this farm. The farm fertility is 100% active.
