HON VANDEFAN TO PROMOTE MECHANISED AND IRRIGATION AGRICULTURE
By Timothy Hemba
Agriculture is extremely essential not only to the people of Benue State, but to every community because it brings the food we eat. It also creates employment for many people directly and indirectly.
Hon. Vandefan Gemade if he honors our call, will be contesting to represent the good people of Jerchira Federal Constituency at the National Assembly. Jerchira Federal Constituency is made up of 23 council wards. These council wards take agriculture as one of their top priorities as they use it to sustain their families.
Hon. Vandefan if elected, will make mechanised and irrigation agriculture available for the people of Jerchira. The mechanised agriculture will include machines and equipment such as: tractors, plows, harrows, cultivators, sprayers, saw mills, mowers, sickles, rakes, chainsaws and others.
The irrigation agriculture will be done in such a way that farmers will chose which method of irrigation they prefer. This will include: surface irrigation, sprinkle irrigation, micro-irrigation and drip irrigation.
The good people of Jerchira engage in the cultivation of various agricultural products such as yam, cassava, sweet potato, maize, millet, soya beans among others, which through mechanised and irrigation agriculture, they will expand their agricultural activities and increase yield.
For this to be effective, he will use the Liaison Offices that he will establish as contact places for this initiative to be actualised.
If given the opportunity to serve, Hon. Vandefan will turn the state of agriculture in the constituency around for the benefit of all.
Support and Vote for him and the desired impact will surely be made!
