Farming has surprised me lately, with everything from sudden droughts to increasing pest problems. These challenges are something I anticipated would happen during my annual farming journey.
When entering the farming business, it's crucial to mentally prepare for a variety of outcomes—both the positive aspects, where your investments flourish, and the negative ones, where circumstances can suddenly turn against you.
I've often focused on the difficulties to the extent that I almost overlooked the positive aspects. The drought has dominated discussions for weeks since it impacts every part of my farm.
However, there is one farm that has thrived despite these challenges, mainly because it is situated closer to the riverbank than my other farms. The guinea corn there appears to be flourishing, almost as if it's in a different paradise. The land has proven to be more fertile than I expected when I first began working on it.
This plot was abandoned for years before I decided to clear it. You can see that it has amassed a wealth of nutrients, which have greatly benefited the guinea corn.
This has become one of my most fruitful plots, and I plan to maximize this opportunity.
Do you have any pieces of land that you've abandoned for a while? How do you plan on reviving them for farming?
