Loan Proposal

Currently hay has became very demandable, and it fetches very good money. I intend two plant 3 acres of hay, from which i expect to haves aroung 100 bales. So i need this money for tilling the shamba, to buy fertilizer and for buying seeds
Tilling one acre costs around 8 dollars so for three acres that is 24 dollars
i need four bags of fertilize and one bag goes for 20 dollars totalling to 60 dollars
seeds for this shamba will cost around 20 dollars
the rest of the money i will use for labour during the whole period up to the time i harvest
