Preface

Background Of The Study

The term husbandry is deduced from the Latin words “ ager ”( field) and “ cultura ”( civilization). This meant field civilization. This isn’t a complete description of husbandry since husbandry also has to do with beast product. Agriculture can thus be defined as the art and wisdom of cultivating the soil, producing beast, preparing beast feeds, recycling crops and beast products for man; and the process of dealing redundant crops and beast. Or husbandry may also mean just the product of crops, parenting of creatures and the general operation of soil.

As men advanced from the stalking and gathering stage, they developed the art of cultivating certain shops and domesticating certain creatures. This was the morning of settled life, and people began to group themselves in townlets. They made crude tools and learned to give enough foods for the family. This practice is set up moment in every insulated areas where communication has been limited, the people haven’t been exposed to ultramodern ways of husbandry, and supernumerary capital for investment isn’t available. Some growers ranch simply in specific domestic crops similar as in west Africa like yam, cassava, sludge, cocoyam etc. the practice involves the civilization of small pieces of land under numerous crops.

Several questions have been raised in respects to this trend. It’s thus advisable to understand the problems affecting small scale husbandry in the area, which is a major emphasis of this design work. It tends to dissect these factors and suggest acceptable measures and results in working these problems. The history of the development of the mortal race is nearly related to that of agrarian development. In his hunt for food and sanctum, man has espoused numerous agrarian practices through the periods as his specialized chops and material coffers grew. The four major types are;- stalking and gathering, pure subsistence husbandry; mixed subsistence with some cash crop product; and pure marketable husbandry. But between these main divisions are numerous transition stages, and different stages of profitable development of original populations.

Statement Of The Problems

The need for this study is needed by the fact that there are problems affecting small scale husbandry among the original growers in my original government area. The positive and negative goods of these problems are thus the concern of disquisition.

Exploration Questions

Some questions to be dived in the course of this study have been raised as follows-

1. Does the land term system affect small scale growers in Ovia North East Local Government Area?

2. Does the size of useful land in the area affect the small scale growers in Ovia North East Local Government Area?

3. Does the religious beliefs affect the small scale growers ’ product in the area?

4. The civilization practices affect the small scale growers in the area?

5. What are the prospects and possible results to the problems?

Significance Of The Study

This study is designed to help the growers in Ovia North East Local Government Area to ameliorate their sweats on ways of adding small scale product of growers. It serves as a companion to extension of workers in charge of small scale product in Ike South and other areas on how to help growers. The study is hoped to motivate the growers to go into large/ marketable product in the area. Also, this study will serve as a resource material for any pupil that will be interested in. Eventually, it serves as stimulant to those growers in the study who takes small scale product as their last stopgap in life to pay further to small scale product by giving them the necessary backing.
