In my community, farming begins in the dry season with molding of bed ridges then planting takes place be it beans, Irish, corn, cassava, yams, pumpkin 🎃.

After that, towards rainy season, when rain must have fallen people go to the farm and by that time, the crops must have grown then weeding takes place that is, we remove unwanted grass so it won’t spoil our crops. Then we redo bed ridges and make it moisturized.

Then when it’s time for harvest, we gather ourselves in numbers and harvest the crops then do a selection of the food and bad ones especially beans and corn. After doing that, using corn as an example we select the ones to be tied and use for corn fufu and pap😊. Then we load up in the vehicle.

---

Then after harvest, we clear the farm so that’s we can use the farm for the next farming season.

Tools Used In Farming

In farming, we use dig axe especially in areas where it’s stony, we use hoes, rakes in order to remove cleared up grass, then in modern developed countries, trucks are being used in farming which makes it easier than man labor.
