My Business

my core business is farming where i mostly do daily farming.I do the farming in the family land.I have employed two farm hands but i occasionally hire temporally ones when a lot has to be done in the farm.I also far tomato potato kale cabbages and spinach.Farm maize and beans for subsistence.In good month i can make 60 d0llars in daily farming and an other 100 dollars in other farming.I save about 50 dollars monthly.If a get capital i can buy a water pump to enable me do arrogation since our farm is in the river frontage.In future with your help, i can buy a tractor to enable me do more farming since i only use a small part of the farm.we have a farm more than 20 acres yet am only able to farm 5 acres.The initial loan will enable me buy animal feeds which will increase milk production of my four cows.If i get capital i can upgrade the stock so that i keep hybrid cows for more milk production.I will also be able to introduce chicken and pork farming.Please you loans will help me very mush
