    There was nothing to prevent us from executing our part time maize farm this evening. Upon seeing how good states our maize farm is, it really motivates us more to use up all our energy in weeding the farm. I've always said that there are more opportunities to discover at farming if we pay close attention to it. Either working as a full time farmer or part time farmer will really work if we are determined and focused. In modern agriculture, it's easy to farm and reap abundance of yield that in the olden days where there were few technologies to improve farming. You really need a small start up capital to do it and reap more.

    Counting from the day that we sown our maize grains, today happens to be 22nd day. This is our 3rd weeding; we had gotten one full time on last Saturday to clear the weeks in our maize farm. Asare and I were able to cover a vast area of the farm. We decided to continue today after school. Since we want to whole farm to be weeded by the close of the week so that we can relax for a while. For the good state of the farm having all the maize growing in healthy conditions, we don't want them to spoil. That's why we want to clear at this early stage.

    Initially we decided to use herbicides but we later saw that there are plenty of cocoyam which have emerged in the farm. The cocoyam too are source of root tuber and the leaves being great sources of vitamin, iron and energy due to high fibre content. Using herbicides would turn to kill all the cocoyam in the farm. So we took a decision to at least weed the vantage places where these cocoyam have converged, even if not all the whole farm.


    We arrived the farm when it was 3:15 pm. We changed our dressing code into farming attire. We began the weeding. As you can see, we were able to cover a large area beyond my imagination. I can estimate that about half of the farm have been weeded. We closed from the maize farm when it was 5:56 pm. We had to rush to our various homes and support our family.
