What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on boosting my business through buying more cows that I can sell in the market, I will spend part of the transfer on buying seeds that include maize and beans that I can plant on my farm and the remaining amount I will spend on paying school fees for my children.
