What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on the acquisition of fertilizer. I used the fertilizer on my rice farm. I decided to use fertilizer on my farm so as to increase my farm yield. Formerly I used to plough my farm without fertilizer and the yields were really of small quantity. I am a happy farmer now that I am able to get increased yields and I can sell the extra bags. This in turn has increased income in my house.
