Conseleter
received a $467 third payment.
"I spent my third transfer on buying bulls for ploughing and one for milking. I never had any cows in my cow shed and hiring bulls for ploughing was expensive and I could not also plough in time, I can now plough my farms in time and even plant in time, I am glad I now have my own cows."
