What does receiving this money mean to you?
Buying enough farm input like fertilizer and seeds for the coming farming season is what receiving this money means to me, for a long time i have had problems with producing very little farm produce due to poor and very little access to better farming materials, this will be history for this coming season i would like to buy the inputs before the farming season.
