Crop Cultivation

Crop Cultivation is a very intergral part of Farming, as without grow crops the wouldn't be enough nutritious food for consumption.


Furthermore without crop cultt there wouldn't be raw material to turn to other processed food like Golden morn from Maize , "Garri" also known as cassava flakes, all kinds of snacks made with wheat flour and. Many more just to mention but a few.



Farming with respect to crop cultivation is deals with planting crops either for person consumption or for export or for both.



Hence we call some crops cash crops. This crops are most suitable for exporting to other countries,crops like coccoa, Rubber,Oil palm, Cassava, Coconut, just to mention less, are crops that are need by other countries to turn into several finished goods hence bring about increased income to such country or Individual that's  indulges in cash crops farming.


However any kind of crops can be cultivated for the purpose of exporting to others countries to earn revenue.



This made me remember those days when farming was the main stay of my dear country back in the days around early 19th Century.


Then the economy was bouyant to the extent that our currency had more value and purchasing power than the United States Dollar. Most foreign visitors do prefer to settle in my dear country and invest and do all other activities pleasing to them.


But today reverse is the case. But not until we discovered crude oil in commercial quantity and neglected farming which as sustaIned the economy of the country for years.enough of the history.


Crop Cultivation can either be labour intensive or capital intensive.
Labour intensive simply implies the use of human labour to farm and the use of crude farming tool which includes hoes, Cutlass,manual watering can etc
While Capital intesive method of Crop cultivation simply implies the use of


ModernMachines and implements to farm,which includes Tractors, Ridgers, Harvesters,Plough etc.This machines requires huge amount of money to purchase hence capital Intensive and is most suitable for Farming on a large scale which requires several hectares of land.



While the former is majorly associated with  subsistence farming although can be used on a large can basis but may not be as easy as using machines to operate on farmland.



Final Concluding words, Let's cultivate a better future by cultivating our lands.we must constantly practice Farming to boost our economy, good income and be of help to the society at large. Lets imagine if their were no farmers and everyone is doing a white collar job,before long we will be dead. So let's start cultivating our land.
