My friend laughed out loud when he heard I was inaugurated as a member of Nigerian Institute of Management(Chartered), he said "You this man, you sha want to take farming to a professional level.
Yes, I answered like an automatic bot. He could see from my action, all I have engaged and still engaging myself. I wanna work at the professional level and bring professionalism into Agriculture.
I remember when I was called to introduce myself a conference, I boldly stood up and energetically said " I AM A CORPORATE FARMER".
They all smile and a young man asked "Who is a corporate farmer?. I answered him and he was amazed (that's not where am going).
I believe in one Yoruba adage which says " It is how you call something that people will help you call it" therefore, if I can openly pronounce agriculture as the profession for the professionals, I think am still on point.
It is high time we started tagging MODERNIZATION AND CIVILIZATION or I should call it TechFarmPreneur in agriculture.
You know why????????
- People will change their general prospection about agriculture and farmers.
- Teens will be reoriented and will be proud to tell everyone " I WANT TO BE CORPORATE FARMER IN THE FUTURE"
- Government will be ascertain that, agriculture is not a dumping ground for their economy failures.
- Agriculture sector will not be sympathised but view with mind of "LIFE SAVIOUR".
- It will be clearly stated that "AGRICULTURE IS A PILLAR FOR EVERY NATION".
________*****_____________*****_________****__________
#As a farmer|Agropreneur, don't settle for less.
#Go for conference, workshop, seminars even outside the corners of agriculture.
#Engage in professional courses.
#Dress Corporate
All these are not waste of time or resources, this will add to the way you do things. It will;
- Change your orientation.
- Change your lifestyle (even the way you dress and speak as a farmer).
- It gives agriculture a new name.
- Improves your farming techniques.
- Gives you a modern mindset and transform your farm produce packaging.
- Enrich your pocket (You learn a better way of minimizing your cost implications).
- Encourage youths participation in agriculture.
- And also help in economy growth(micro and macro level).

BACK TO FARM
Despite the decline in interest for agriculture as a career there are still young farmers working all over the world. To encourage others to join the sector it is vital that they are offered a voice, and that we take note of what they have to say.
Particularly this includes giving young farmers at policy level a chance to offer their opinion and experiences. In this way, they can show other young people that farming can be a rewarding career as well as highlighting the important role of agriculture on a global scale.
The future of AGRICULTURE no doubt lies in the hands of the youths. I strongly believe that youths are the transformers needed in the agriculture sector as the CHANGE AGENT for sustainable tomorrow.
