Farming is a very common -73- among the rural dwellers in the West African sub-region. Most often, this is practised at -74- level with little if any -75- outlay involved. Year in year out, the farmers eke out their -76- from the land tilled with hoes and such other simple implements. Many of these rural dwellers have never heard about -77- farming let alone the prerequisites for the successful operation of such -78- enterprises. -79- cultivation is widely practised. This is a process where farmers abandon their parcels of land for a period of four to five years to allow such land to recover its natural -80- for better -81- -82- such as yam, maize, rice, cow pea which serve as -83- food are planted on -84- basis, while -85- crops are hardly grown. Invariably the -86- are inherited and passed from one generation to another. Where -87- are paid at all, they are usually in kind.

The presiding -99- had no choice but to -100- and accused for want of evidence.
