"Last year i had a bumper harvest and was able to sell surplus maize out of which i bought a ram that am taking good care of. In case of any emergency i can sell it or once its grown bigger shall resale it and buy other two young ones. This makes me proud as i have something i can turn to incase of an emergency."
