What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on buying three bulls for ploughing. Previously I could use my bare hands to plough and this was so tiring and time-consuming and sometimes planting season could pass without me tilling my farm and that meant no harvest. This is a gone case now given that I now have my own bulls and I plough on time like the others.

What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
My plan is to invest my transfer on large scale farming of sugarcane and maize,I also intend to buy two cows that I will raise and hopefully see them multiply in the future.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
The achievement I'm proudest of is having built our current house, we used to live in a thatched house which would leak every time it rained making our lives very difficult.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I'm facing is on making ends meet, we've experienced acute draught recently which killed all our plants and as a result we got very little harvest.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I'm attending to my farm. I grow maize and beans mostly which are the major staple food here.
