I love farming. When I was a small girl we used to help our parents do farming and here is why I got the passion.
Farming entail a lot of activities form land preparation to the final stage of ensuring the harvest is sold.
Since currently I do not own land I have to lease. After leasing I undertake ploughing then harrowing. Thereafter I have to plant then do weeding and guide the crop up to maturity. In between I have to spray pesticides and second and third weeding if necessary.Do not forget also that have to hire people to help in the farm.
During harvesting time have to ensure that I have sufficient labor to assist me. Transport is necessary to ensure that my crop reaches the home where I store ready for sale.
My business entails farming Millet and will use my first loan difference to secure pesticide. Have already leased an acre land . I have to get more funds for ploughing ,harrowing and labor among other costs.
Millet is used for cooking delicious ugali in kenya and it has great demand unlike maize. Millet is also drought resistant hence can do well even during low rain season.
Am grateful to my lenders for helping me through loans and ensuring i got the necessary inputs for Millet farming. As we head 2016 my thinking is to get more land for leasing that is two acres and use the balance to plough and harrow apart form getting seeds.
