Hello Hive

Happy new day to us all, I hope that we had a wonderful night rest and are quite relieved of yesterday stress, today is another day to rise and shine and I don't even know that I had over slept past my alarm this morning. Today we would be continuing with our farm work and the series of activities before us.

There is still a lot of work to be done in our rice farm with the transplanting of our rice seedlings and more work is already calling us in other places.

Here is the grow stage of our groundnut, they are already at their second flowering stage, which is the crucial stage where they produce their food but grasses are already overwhelming the farm.

Some portion of the farm is more choked than the other. Herbicides have been very useful for growing this our crops, right after cultivating the land and before planting the crops we have applied herbicides to the field, and after planting, all forms of weeds were kept abay until now. Before the use of herbicides we often weed these farms at least twice before harvest but for this year the weeding exercise will be just once.

While we are yet busy with transplanting we have to spare some time within the week to equally attend to this. We love growing different categories of food crops but most times the time and labour needed to take care of everything is not usually available.

These peanutz really needs urgent weeding for many reasons, their seeds needs to produce well and now is not the time for weeds to overwhelm the farm and affect their growth. Another reason is to control rodents. Rodents are the number one enemy of peanuts farms, when the farm becomes too busy, they create hideouts in the farm and feed on the 🥜 peanut seeds as soon as they are being produced. Rodents often cause a lot of havoc in peanut farms compared to other farms and having made so much progress with growing these we have to give the crops maximum care for better yield.
Within the coming week we will be moving from one farm to the other engaging in different activities from weeding to transplanting and the schedule continues.
