Farm structures are facilities constructed on the farmland to ease farm operations e.g. silos, nursery, feed mill, etc.

Siting a farm is an interesting and important activity. Since the introduction of agriculture in Nigerian schools, school farms have been established to enable students acquire practical experiences to balance up with the classroom instructions which they receive in agriculture. The school farm is, therefore, often referred to as a school farm laboratory.

Crop propagation is the practice of increasing the number of crop plants by sowing their seeds or planting their cuttings, leaves stems and roots.

The soil is the greatest asset of the farmer since it is the medium for plant growth. The farmer therefore, adopts a number of measures to get the most out of the soil. The measures are therefore, classified into three in this order, as: pre-planting, planting and post-planting operations. They range from selection of site to harvesting and farm level processing.

Harvesting is the removal and gathering of mature crops for processing and storage. The sign of maturity differs for different crops.

Feed is that which is eaten by animals to nourish their body. Good feeding has no substitute. Therefore, to achieve highest returns from livestock, the farmer must supply his animals with the appropriate quantity and quality of feed.

Disease means a change in the normal functions or well-being of farm animals which results in observable symptoms. It is an illness, unhealthy or abnormal condition in the body of farm animals.

Fishery refers to the management and production of fish and other aquatic animals. Of all animals living in water, fish is the most plentiful of them. Fish belongs to the group of aquatic vertebrates i.e. they have back bones. They are specially adapted to live, raised and reproduced in water.

A forest is an area of land covered with trees, shrubs and other plants. It could natural in nature or planted by man for a purpose.

Man’s primary need from the early time has been to secure food. In the ancient times, the early man lived by hunting wild animals and gathering fruits, roots and vegetables. He needed little or no clothing and cared less about houses as he moved from place to place.Man’s first crops grew by accident. Soon, the early man found that discarded seeds or parts of wild plants they had eaten grew around the places where they were gathered or thrown. From this period, man learnt to ensure his future supply of food by gathering desirable seeds and fruits and planting them. From this, the art of cultivation developed.
