"I got an accident in the year 2008 and my hip joint got dislocated and at the same time got a crack. Up until now I still feel a lot of pain on the joint when I engage myself on difficult task. This has greatly reduced my activeness on the farm though I still persevere. For me this is the greatest biggest hardship I have ever experienced. "
