Life on the farm is full of opportunities. Everyday that you wake up they are there – some of them may be new or scary, some may even be hard but if you look at them as opportunities you will always see the best in each situation and feel grateful for something.

Today we start top dressing Nitrogen on our first crop. It is too muddy our N applicator can’t get into the fields so we apply it manually.
Top dressing between week 5 and week 8 after germination is crucial as this determines the number of rows per ear and the number of kennels

For the longest time, policy makers have been making unilateral decisions that affect agriculture without the main stakeholders the farmers. That narrative is slowly changing…glad to have been part of this important session to impact on policy.

In dairy farming, forage is the most essential feed component. Providing high quality silage is key to unlocking the huge potential and enhance the competitiveness of the dairy industry in Kenya and beyond. This can only happen with improvement of feed and forage systems.

As our population continues to grow, our agricultural methods must grow with it. It's time to take advantage of the technology we have at our disposal to put food on our table and create peace of mind for our farmers.

It is totally unfair and down-right wrong if some of these tools for crop protection are taken away from us, African farmers. At the moment we rely on imported pesticides and if Greenpeace cut short this supply, then we shall not be able to feed our growing population.

Greenpeace thinks you can't handle pesticides and they have to protect you from Bayer and Co. They want to prevent the product that are not permitted here from being exported to you. Tell them what you think about it
