I bought two bulls at 38,000 KES which assist me in ploughing, a goat at 2,500 KES and a cupboard at 6,000 KES. I hired land for farming at 3,000 KES. I spent the rest on food and clothes.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I used to lack bulls and so I could only rely on others for help, but now I have my own and so I can plough my farms conveniently. My house is also very presentable with the new acquisitions like the new cupboard.
