What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I plan to buy bulls and other farm inputs with the transfers to boost my farming.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
I don't see any great achievement to talk of other than the free life that God has granted us to under take our normal chores.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest hardship is to ensure that my farming is productive and the proceeds can support our welfare. I don't have enough land and farm inputs therefore I hardly gather something out of the venture.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest part of the day is the evening since that is the time I can rest after the ups and downs of the day trying to source for the family.
