Rain forecast boosts farmers’ optimism

Ntiti Ratlapi

(Tsorogwane Lands)I long started the preparations for this ploughing season because I heard on the radio that there will be enough rain for us to plough. I’m a regular farmer and I plant almost every year. I normally plant maize and sorghum more than anything else, because at the end of the day they give me enough harvest compared to other crops. I am not aware of the ISPAAD changes yet. The little that I know is that farmers were advised to practise and apply the farming methods advised by the relevant people, but as for the new changes I’m yet to learn and understand what exactly is expected from us. It’s a good thing to learn about new developments and also to do the right things as recommended by the government.
