Evaline
received a $491 second payment.
"My second transfer was mostly spent to buy a cow and hire a plot for rice farming. During lactation, I will sell milk from my cow and earn profit and also when my rice has matured, I will harvest, sell and earn more profit than I invested. I also bought fertilizer to increase my yield, and also paid laborers to work on my rice farm."
