Currently, Farms worth hundreds of millions are been destroyed by flood in Nigeria.
Livestock and Crop. 😭😭😭😭
FIFTEEN THOUSAND BIRDS GONE?
I saw this photo yesterday; a flooded farm. In the poster's comment section, he stated that they lost about 15,000 matured birds and this reminded me of a similar situation that happened to one of my Lecturer's farm. In shock and confusion, he ended the class and he told me that he got a call that his farm was flooded.
HOW NOT TO BE A VICTIM
Before purchase a land, check the history of the land. Not just what you can see at the moment.
Some people buy their land or rent a pen during the dry/summer season. When it gets to raining/winter, they start noticing flood or other environmental disasters/pollution.
Some areas experience flooding once in several years. Some, once in about 10 to 20 years and even more. My Lecturer was a victim of this kind of flooding.
Getting the history of an area before purchasing a land or building is mandatory.
Ask questions from those who know the land; not just the owners of the land/pen, please. Some people are not sincere. They just want to sell out their problems.
Do your soil test.
Finally, note, flooding is not the only disaster that destroy's a farm. Ask questions about everything.
