About Me

I am Edwin from meru I never knew what school ,education was at my young age this wasnt my fault nor my parents their illetrated mind was to be blamed the only education I used to get on daily basis was farming , I came to hate farming as it was like I was forced into it , so a time came I decided to elope to my aunts place so that I could go to school and learn as my cousins life at school was a little bit complicated to to my advance age but that was not enough to stop me from studying I form four was my limit because my aunt could not afford the college fee so I decided to go back home my dad had a big farm but it was not in use so I decided instead of just sitting their I should practice what I cleared at school so I cleared the land and I planted maize instead of potatoes that are common at my area in first season I used ordinary store seeds the yilds were not much but worth I sold some at the market and now I could afford treated seeds and fertilizers and I increased the firm portion bedlive me I have come to be a specialist in this and now I plant over 10 acters of maize every season

My Business

My business is very simple that’s is planting of maize selling them and making profit this is becose of the type of plants that I do plant doesn’t require much attention such as green houses spraying , the types of cropes that I plant include maize beans (variety types) I also plant cassavas but in small potion my farm is located in swampy areas and so water is not the problem I don’t have to wait for a season as I have readly available waterfor irrigation this has made my products to be always in time an as aresults I have receved many supply tenders from business men and mostly schools for my grains, I came to chose this becase I realized that god had given me gold and I was asking for silver not nowing what ci had in posession
