My name is Ojiambo, I have been in farming business since i was 12. My mother taught me how to do subsistence farming from a tender age. When i grew, I kept learning from my elders as well as from teachers. With time , i developed interest in farming and started working out how to achieve the best from it. i have been working hard so as to achiev the best from my farming skills but in vain. The main reason has been limited resources which restricted me to subsistence farming. learning that Zidisha was around through its lenders to help was a relief. I hope that i can now start serious farming.
My business deals with food crop farming. in most cases, I farm food crops such as maize, millet, sorghum and cassava. However, i have been doing it in as small scale capacity. Zidisha would be helpful through its lenders in enabling me expand my farming system. Moreover, i would be able to increase the size o f land for farming. I usually lease land for farming, i am hoping that with expected future prospects, i will begin to buy my own land for farming.
Firstly, may I thank my lenders, through Zidisha, for giving me an opportunity to explore my farming talent, i managed to get produce which I sold some and i have saved some for use in the house. Now I plan to farm maize during this rainy season so as to get more returns, please kindly assist me on the same with this loan. i plan to buy seeds, manure and employ youths to help me with the chores ($445), this loan will be helpful, thanks a lot, I am really grateful for you continued help.
