  • Since launching my Farm Biz Ideas Support Service website, in July 2006, I have received over 350 web form requests from visitors from within and outside Nigeria/Africa.

  • Initially, I invested efforts in responding to many of them, but later, after making the unpleasant discovery that some people were NOT sincere, and others were Yahoo! boys or scam artists of that sort, I setup an auto response system that required enquirers to take certain additional steps to get a response from me.

  • Since then, more and more enquiries have piled up. Recently, I downloaded the contacts database from my website, and read through the most recent, only to find what appeared to be authentic enquiries lost amongst the others. Then there we those that - understandably - asked "Are you a textbook theorist...do you really know this stuff etc?"

    Well, the above issues, and the fact that I have NOW re-launched my Public Speaking Service (http://www.tksola.com) AND the need to HELP those SINCERE persons who made enquiries via my website, have made me decide to organise this 5 hour Workshop/Question & Answer Session.

You will also hear me elaborate on tested and proven Strategies, That Street-Smart Farm Business Owners use to find READY BUYERS for their farm produce.

Most farmers FORGET about finding BUYERS, until it's too late. As a result, they are forced to sell at poor rates, sometimes at a loss.

Attend this workshop, and learn how to get around this MAJOR problem for GOOD!

Read my article titled " Producing Good Catfish is Important, But Finding Good Buyers is Imperative!

In the September issue of my Self-Development Digest newsletter, I put up a pix gallery showing photos taken during my return visit (26th September 2009) to the Earthen pond farm operated by the same Family, in Akute, Ogun state at http://www.spontaneousdevelopment.com/cfshow (Click to learn more).

August 2006: "i have so much interest in fishery and i have discover i have so much interest in it. my question goes does...1]like how much i have to set up a fish pond...2]like how will thier feed cost me per week...3]like how much will thier medication always cost me...4]do u have any book on fishing if yes how can i get it...." - "ife" (Student, Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ikene, Ogun State)

A farmer who has worked hard to turn out good quality produce should NEVER find him/herself at the mercy of mean and exploitative buyers.

This problem afflicts egg farmers and others during glut periods.

Attend this workshop and discover PROVEN ideas to get around this persistent problem - YOU CAN sell for good profit, with the right strategies!

Hi Tayo,

I have seen that attachments and will go through. I have browsed the book and my iniital impression is that you have succeeded in demistifying poultry feed formulation. I intend to post my full review of the book later through the link you gave.
However, I have the following questions:....read his questions & my answers here +=+

**My comment: I recall feeling a bit ticked off by "Sola's" above comment, to the extent that I called him on his mobile. I was then in the middle of an Excel-VB Development project for a manufacturing company in Surulere. That conversation made me realise I would eventually need to organise my own LEARNING events to put the doubts being raised by skeptics of this sort, to rest, once and for all. So, here's the opportunity - PLEASE be sure to take it with BOTH hands!

September 2008: "How much is the Accounting software for Fish Farming?"...and "Very much interested in know how best to start and run a successful Poultry Farm in Abuja post disengagement from paid employement."...and "How viable if Rabbitry?

(b) Variable Cost Monitoring and Control/Reduction System.

(c) Something on the starting and managing fish farm. This should include the feeding of fingerlin/juvenile to market size and the general best practices in the running of a fish farm.

Above: This audio-video screenshot tutorial demonstrates the use of Tayo Solagbade's Livestock Ration Formulation application (which was built to accompany the Feed Formulation Handbook), to generate a 25% protein content ration formula. The app does ration formulation, and also computes the cost, as well as energy level and fibre content of the resultant ration. This allows the user to EXPERIMENT different values using the automation of the Pearson Square calculation method, until s/he gets the desired formula.

But WHY Should You Trust Me? What Makes Me Competent To HELP YOU?

May 2009: "Farm Ideas Workshop Request": I need a program for a new investor interested in small scale catfish farming for a start, expandable in future however. Or alternatively a link to who can assist in construction of a good catfish pond along the interest indicated above. I can't see you rendering this service in your website that I went through, as it look like you provide other vital support services which we will need on take off. Am I right? Give me a feedback soonest. I wish to end this note by honestly commending your effort if you genuinely do all you have highlighted on your website. Thanks" - Chairman/Multi-Tech Ventures Nig Ltd - olumuyiwa, F.A." (Ifo, Ogun State)****

Source: Web contact form submission via www.iff.spontaneousdevelopment.com

****NB: I deliberately formatted the last sentence above, in yellow. He said "if you genuinely do all you have highlighted on your website". By organising this workshop, I intend to provide him - and others - a means to verify for themselves!

Let me see if I can offer some details that will convince you.

During my stay in the University I excelled both in academics and sports. For instance, I was best graduating student, Second Class Upper Division honors, B.Sc Agricultural Extension Services (1992). In addition, I was a regular in the University of Ibadan handball team from 1987 to 1992; and Captain of Independence Hall Handball team that won the Interhalls Handball competition in 1992.

On the social front, I was maiden Chairman of Readers Club in Agric. Extension Services department and more relevant, from my 3rd undergraduate year, I was an active member (and at a point Sales Coordinator) of the Student’s Farm Research Foundation (SFRF) - an innovative, self-funding farm research oriented student group.

SFRF was dedicated to helping members gain in-depth understanding of livestock management by exposing them to real-life experiences, which often involved experimentation with feeding, medication/vaccination etc.

During a fast paced 7 year period as a manager in Guinness Nigeria plc, I would later gain valuable experience as a manager of human resources and processes. Exposure to World Class Manufacturing/Best Operating Practice training, in addition to Workplace Performance Improvement Coaching Education gained by attending International Courses within and outside Nigeria, equipped me with the ability to adapt proven solutions from different cultures and economies to suit local conditions.

But that's NOT what makes me competent to HELP YOU. What qualifies me - and which shows through in the work I do via my website - is that I have successfully APPLIED what I learnt to the real world situations that farmers and business owners face daily.

In order to do this, I have exposed myself to MANY real life farm business situations and environments, by apprenticing on other people's farms for as long as 6 months (click for details). I have also attended seminars, bought and studied manuals, videos and other resources created by local and international practitioners.

Most importantly, I have experimented with cost-saving ALTERNATIVE methods and techniques described on my website.

Then, drawing from my 7 years in Guinness Nigeria Plc (during which time I excelled as a process manager, training and technical development manager as well as World Class Manufacturing/Best Operating Practice Process Management Champion), I evolved an approach that leveraged what I had learnt through my personal experiences and observations.

What I came up with enabled me to begin offering value-adding INFORMATION and EDUCATION to farm business owners via my farm biz support site. The many visitor responses I have since gotten attest to the QUALITY of the content I have been able to generate.

Today, the quality of information and education I provide via my work on Cost-Saving Farm Business Ideas/Support Services is a testimony to my experience based competence. Learn more about my background as provided in the opening pages of the feed formulation handbook (click).

I believe the above strongly support my claims. It is however up to YOU to decide if you want what I offer.

June 2008: "I am excited by this website. You seem to be doing a lot of good to farmers, Tayo. Keep it up. I ran into this website during my search for feed formulation information. Hope I have come to the right place." - "Ben Oshionya" (Port Harcourt, Rivers State) *

Source: Web contact form submission via www.iff.spontaneousdevelopment.com

*My comment: Ben went on to purchase the spiral bound version of my manual, accompanied by a CDROM containing the FULL PDF. Incidentally, it was a friend - Ebenezer Oloyede - as student of UNIPORT, who hand delivered to him on my behalf.

 

As is stated on my Farm Business Support Service Website, I am a Performance Improvement Specialist, with a bias for Farm Research & Extension Advisory Services provision.

What I therefore offer are products/services aimed at helping farm biz owners(and those aspiring) adopt simple, practical and cost-effective systems for starting up or managing their farm businesses at LOWER COSTS, and with LESSER EFFORT. This will enable them enjoy INCREASING financial and other returns with PEACE OF MIND & EASE for the long term.

October 2009: "i would like to be notified when iformation on rabbitry is published, and i would like to thank you for all your works they have been a source of inspiration for me and some of my friends" - Senior accountant NARICT, "Burhan Akhalid" (basawa zaria, Kaduna State) *****
