Thanks for the update. This shows why subsistence farming is so precarious. We keep a close eye on our crops for various pests & diseases, then spray appropriately. What would happen to your Mom if there was a total crop failure?

Well, most people literally starve during those times. Luckily, the weather varies from location to location.. i.e. in Kisii we don't ever run out of the rainy weather. Finger millet didn't do well but maize did. And that's the most important.

Our farmers need more education.

Very sad to hear today you have been the subject of a hit piece of disinformation by my country's national broadcaster the BBC. I came hear today to say I am ashamed by the BBC attitude and ignorance and to say that there are many in the world like me who agree with you and support you, especially concerning the need for growth in cheap, reliable electricity and clean fuel for cooking in Africa.
