The Ekiti State Climate Change Unit has advised farmers in the State to take advantage for the current August-break to harvest their yam farms and commence preparation for the next planting season.
A statement in Ado Ekiti by the Climate Change Unit in the State Ministry of Environment stressed that the move would boost the number of seed yam and cut setts acquirable from the existing crop.
Noting that farmers could also commence land clearing for the next year yam season, the Unit, in addition, counselled them to make use of the break in rainfall to sun-dry their grain crops like rice, maize, cocoa, beans among others.
The Unit stressed that people in the timber business who hitherto had problems of transporting their logs to processing sites during the rains could utilize the August break to move their logs during the dry spell that had been estimated to last for about two weeks.
The statement assured that the unit would continue to work and give experts advice on weather and similar issues that would benefit the people of the State particularly farmers.
