"I expect to make a few savings so that I can be able to buy modern seedlings and fertilizers that I will use during the oncoming planting season. Once that is done, I should be able to realize a a bumper harvest at the end of the season so that my family can be food secure. Before I started receiving cash from the organization, I never used fertilizers because their prices are so high that I could barely afford to buy. Going forward, I am even thinking of getting additional acres of land from people who will be willing to lease them out so that I can be able to add more farm production at the end of every season."
