This post was made in response to THIS POST where farmers that needs help are to come up with a proposal for help through
Introduction
My name is Ewuoso Olusesi and i am a farmer. I was born into the business and i have been in it since i could pronounce the word farm. My dad own is farm which is located at Abeokuta, opposite Muhammudu Buhari Estate in a village called Onipakala Village.
We rear pigs, turkeys, goats and sometimes we plant maize and cassava. We also have a plantain plantation.
My Proposal
Considering the fact that most of the animals in the farm belongs to my mum, ill like to have animals of my own. Though i have a few of them which i inquired with my funds especially the turkeys. I will like to have a large number of pigs. My plan is ton start with 20 winners all which will be sow.
Piggery business is a very lucrative one if managed properly. One of the advantages is that it always have a readily available market. Thats the reason why i want to divert from chickens to pigs. Chicken have mortality rate and they barely have markets as most people go for them on festive periods.
You van read about my chickens below
And i faced some challenges Migrating my broilers due to massive death
For those reasons, i will like to divert my attention to piggery and i will be glad if 
Estimation
Housing is already available for the pigs. There are some pens left that i can make use of. Apart from that it will be very expensive to raise a structure from the ground at this times so ill just need help with buying of the animals and feeding.
Please This Is Rough Calculation We Have Been Using On The Farm As Per Feeding
- An average pig spends 40n on feed per day
Calculations
20 pigs(winners) cost #5000 each
Each pig will spend 40n per day
The pigs will be fed for 8 months
Purchase
20 pigs × #5000 = 100,000
Feeding
#40 × 20 pigs = #800
All 20 pigs will consume #800 per day.
Lets assume there are 30 days in each month
30 × 8 months = 240 days
240days ×#800 feed = #192,000
So with these estimations it will cost #100,000 to purchase 20 pigs and #192,000 will be used to feed them for 8 months
That is #292,000.
There are other things that were not calculated like transportation but that and other miscellaneous will be taken care of by me.
To round it up, i will be needing #300,000 to achieve my dream of having a farm of my own cos i believe that if i start little, it can become big.
Thank you Steemchurch farms empowerment scheme for this wonderful opportunity. I hope my request will be granted.
