Farmers Worry Over Changing Rainfall Pattern
Some farmers in Jigawa have expressed worry over this yearβs changing rainfall pattern and the adverse effect on the farming season.
The farmers, who spoke separately with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) Thursday in Dutse, were worried that the current irregular rainfall pattern would adversely affect their crops and farming season.
Malam Abubakar Abdullahi said that the prolonged rainfall would affect the growth and production of commodities such as beans, sesame and guinea corn.
Abdullahi said that beans, sesame and guinea corn were drought- resistant crops, therefore, did not require too much rainfall.
