What did you spend your third transfer on?
I used the third transfer to plant sugarcane in my farm. I have a 6 acre farm that has been lying fallow for many years because I couldn't afford the cost of planting it so when I received the money I decided to use it on farming. I'm happy the farm is doing well and I'm hoping for good harvest.
