I spent 40,000 KES to buy two bulls and 8,000 KES to buy a hand-drawn plough. I also paid up a debt of 1,000 KES.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
Since I bought the bulls and the plough, I have been able to weed and do harrowing to a large section of my farm within a short time and therefore am sure I will have a good harvest.
