Yes, it is possible to irrigate your yam farm, provided you have irrigation system in place.

There are some areas such as Olu in Anambra state. They plan and harvest yam all year round because the whole place including their farmlands are swampy.

Every crop does very well when there is water, irrespective of the time and season. So I believe you can cultivate yam any time of the year with irrigation in place.

The area you will have some problem is setting up the irrigation system as the type that can server your yam farm may not come cheap.

Which area is your farm located?

I BELIEVE, IRRESPECTIVE OF THE LOCATION OF THE FARMLAND, SIMPLE IRRIGATION WILL DO, N  GOOD MANAGEMENT  WILL MAKE IT PROFITABLE COS IN ABT 5 MONTHS, THE YAM WILL BE READY AS I CALCULATED WITH THE ONES I PLANTED AT D  RIVER SIDE AND THE ONE NEAR THE BATHROOM AT IBADAN.
