SUGARCANE PLANTING IS ENJOYABLE

Sugarcane planting can be an easy job if you want to enjoy extra practice on your farm. It requires little effort if you have the planting material.

As a farmer you need to prepare the section of land where you want to do cane planting.

Make furrows where you will drop cuttings and cover them with soil after adding some fertilizer.

It takes a few weeks for shoots to develop from newly planted cuttings.

Young sugarcane requires plenty of moisture and regular weeding until they are much longer to allow sunlight to reach the ground thus preventing much weed growth.

PLANT TREES TO CURB SOIL EROSION

Cover cropping is an essential part in farming to ensure that soil is protected from erosion.

Heavy rain and strong wind are major causes of erosion given that especially on steep ground and during dry seasons respectively.

It is therefore as a farmer to practice cover cropping to ensure the top rich soil is kept intact for better food production.

It is good to add a few trees to your farm especially at the edges to act as a shield for strong wind that may carry loose soil especially during dry seasons.

These trees will as well prevent carried dust particles from being carried far away hence helping you as a farmer to preserve the soil within your farm.
