Rising Concern Over harsh weather, Our Guinea Corn Plants are Fast Drying Up.
Hello Hive
A beautiful new day to our friends onchain and most especially our hard working homesteaders and farmers, I hope that the numerous work in this season is not already overwhelming you. Harvest time is usually is a really busy moment most especially when all the crops become ripe and ready for harvest at the same time. Knowing the implications of a prompt harvest we work round the clock to pick up every grain that is ripe for harvest.
Our guinea corns here are another crops that we are hoping that it produce fast enough before the soil gets too hot to produce any food for us. The Sorghum are have just started producing their seeds on the pallets but the rains for this year stopped abruptly that it is already affecting every crop that is yet to produce it's food
The leaves of the Sorghum are fast drying up just like the grasses in the field, the weather conditions is really very hot at this time as if there has not been any drop of rain this year.
It will take about 2months for this sorghum that is just producing to be able to give us some food and since this process started in the last days of the month of October, we are hoping that we would be able to see some matured sorghum grains come December.
My concern and hope is that these Sorghum will be able to endure the current weather and produce some grains for us before the weather becomes unbearable. If the grounds gets too hot there will be likelihood of poor seed and yield may be low.
The worsening weather condition is affecting farmers especially in this part of the world. Extreme weather conditions often deal with virtually every crop we plant.
Whenever we notice that the rains stop abruptly like this in a particular year, we try to plant most crops earlier in the coming years to avoid this kind of situations but even at that there is usually some dry spells in between the farming periods that still affect crop growth.
It is difficult to predict the weather or even know what to do hence farming is more of hard work, luck and prayers for a good weather so that our crops can do well.
After all the much hardwork here I hope that our sorghum will survive the harsh weather and resist all of this dryness to give us some food. They are deep rooted plants and may be able to survive but I'm not sure of how long.

Farming is really risky because we cannot predict the weather just like here on our province we are just stuck by the super typhoon last Sunday evening and a lot of damage has done. Just like in your area no rains but still you are positive and hoping that it will rain someday. But still as farmers we need to be positive and be strong enough to face all the natural challenges that nature can brings us. Hoping and praying that your plants/corn will survived and produce a good yield or harvest soon.
