Most people believe what they need to start their own farm is a big expanse of land and plenty of money. You may be very wrong if that is all you are thinking about to get your farm going ask me why? and I should know since I have had the opportunity of  not only successfully setting up my farm but rubbing ,minds with successful farmers ,permit  me to share a little of  what I learnt with you in this article.

I’ll start with something very simple you would probably ignore when you want to start your farm Peter calls it the “creed of a persistent and passionate mind.” They are the foundation of all his successes… and they can be for you, too. How or why you may ask? If you have both or learn both i.e perseverance & passion you will be unstoppable first you have to put a stop to nay Sayers or they will kill your dream if you do not have a passion for your dream farm .Next even if you do not have

N10, 000.00 with persistence you can find someone who has a land he does not plan to use in the next few years. With passion you will convince him to part with his land with a promise to share in your profit. So you have a land now .

What next?

We are not talking about get rich quick or scammers here ,we are focused on people who have a passion to succeed with a never say die spirit – you simply cannot kill their determination they are looking keenly ahead at their goal & that is where they are heading any challenges that comes up gets a  determined and well researched  solution.

So now you have land what next? How do you choose what to do on your land? Do you join the band wagon once you hear your neighbour is making money on fish farming that is your choice or you take time to research and find out what people want or need that is scarce in supply so you have a ready market for your produce otherwise settle for what you have little knowledge on or you can learn quickly .There is nothing as exciting as having a ready market for your produce. One important thing to do is a market research talk to various successful farmers around you they will give you  facts about the market and you will save yourself a lot of losses. You must also know what your land is good for.

What are your areas of strength or how soon can you acquire skills if you lack the necessary skills to start out to be successful you need to be able to learn all you want to know  from every possible means people, books, the internet etc everything you can lay your hands on. With your passion for what you do you will soon be unstoppable and nothing will make you give up on what you are doing.

Absentee farming is one of the main reasons for failure in farming to grow  your farm quickly you must devote time to monitor its growth and development as dishonesty of your helpers will rub you of your profit and with your presence  as the owner you can quickly spot problems before they get out of hand.

Writing your business plan yourself will teach you how to avoid some of these pit falls, remember starting small and being successful is a track record compared with someone waiting for big money to start a big farm which is what most people are doing -the lesson here – is start with what you have – you will be better off with that .

In summary you need passion, do a market research,  have skill in your product line, your presence is a must and write  a very good business plan to get started – See you in your very own  farm soon.

    hi,

    i’m interested in starting a plantain plantation.

    i will need your advise on making a success out of this venture.

    i am a full time worker and wont be able to visit the farm more than once a week.. is that not a minus for me as i wont be able to monitor the farm effectively.

    i will also need mentoring on this line and what is the ROI like.
