What did you spend your third transfer on?
I invested most of my third transfer on crop farming, that was maize, beans and onion farming. In addition to this, I purchased an ox which I added to a friend's herd for ploughing purposes. This has brought me much ease in farming as I no longer hire oxen for ploughing. Similarly, the fact that I did a large scale farming of the above mentioned crops is something worth appreciating. Comparing with my previous farming activities that I conducted, I must attest that I expect the highest returns ever that would not just transform my life but would serve as an example to the rest who had doubts with GD transfers.
