January this year, my father gave me part of his land to cultivate maize,ploughing is 1500 per acre that’s 4500×2 for a 3 acre plus 17k spent during planting plus 8k spent weeding twice and lastly used 4k during harvesting. After waiting for 8 months as is normal in Narok I only got 11 bags. That was a total waste of time and money.
