Loan Proposal

The next planting season is soon,and am looking forward to it.I have already done land preparation,bought fertilizers i am seeking funds for buying the best quality maize and beans seedlings from Kenya seeds Company.
After doing research and consulting agronomist,i came to learn that Kenya seed company has introduced a breed called H520,it is a seed that is recommended for Medium altitude areas,the seed has the following special attributes
1.Tolerant to leaf rust and Grey Leaf spot
2.Tolerant to lodging
3.Excellent husk cover
4.Tolerant to ear rot, rust, Grey Leaf spot ,stem and leaf blight
I expect high yields thus better profits and food security for the country, also this will give an opportunity to educate people back in the village about modern seeds and also modern agricultural technics.
Am looking forward for a positive reply from you.
Thanks and God bless you.
