Dear Reader,
As you prepare land for planting, remember it is advantageous to plant early, at the onset of rains as this will lead to better yields. Crops planted early in the season, fully utilize the moisture received from the rains and mature in time for harvesting. Employ techniques that do not leave room for soil compaction, as this can be a major cause of low yields in your farm. In this edition we tell you more about soil compaction, its causes and how to reduce it. Read on for these and much more.
