Malawi Farm

Finally managed to reach Foster at the farm yesterday - they have been experiencing very heavy rains and his phone fell into a pool of water in the fields (eish) - so he has not been able to chat for a few days :)

All the crops i.e. maize, beans, ground nuts, Soya have been planted and are doing well. Weeds are growing even faster than the crops and this is the major challenge at present - to be expected as this season we have turned bush / grass into farmland. Our township folk are struggling to contain the weeds as they cannot afford to hire extra labour. The "farm" 10 acres are more or less under control from weeds.

We have purchased a trailer to go with our small tractor. This will be delivered soon from a small-holder estate near Mulanje.

We are looking to get a backup generator and solar geyser soonest.

Looks like I will be in Malawi 21 March - 4 April.

Thanks for your interest, prayers and support

Chat soon
