The various relevant shared information in your widely read Golden Harvests (Your Guide to Successful Farming) which forms part of your well read Daily Trust newspaper across Nigeria were highly commendable.
But the write up failed to discuss areas and farms that were affected by Aflatoxin, (that is reported rise in infection in locally grown maize) places and the states.
There is also need for suggestions for a proactive extension service delivery by the various extension agents (Agricultural Development Programs) to the farmers that will promote information sharing, further discussions and capacity building.
Government needs to also intervene and provide palliative measures, support to the affected maize farmers so that there will be no further spread of Aflatoxin across the country.
