I started with small farming business for maize when i was in high school, thats almost 10 years ago, later i gave trial to vegatable growing and now i have started zero grazing farming

My Business

My source of income is mainly from farming, sublimented by salary income though earning a little amount but farming is the one supporting me greatly.. Farming is the one making me realize my potential, and moving step by step towards achiving my large scale farming goals, create jobs for many unemployed since i currently employed one to help me. I want to utilize my hard work, creativity and risk taking character to enhance maximum output, being a mixed growing farmer have enabled me to make a successive progress. Now i have started a zero grazing project, and i am looking for a well wishers to support me in this project and i will be very glad. I have a cow which i bought recently and i am looking for a loan to help me in the buying of feeders and also planting my own

Loan Proposal

    I hope and pray you have bountiful crops. Also, you might read about agroforestry if you have not already. It is a very interesting use of trees and shrubs to improve yields from crops due to advantageous shade and nitrogen fixing in the soil.
