Masai Farmer Field Day

I had a group of 28 Masai come to look at our farm today, probably one of the most left field visit I have had, the top photo is of some of the group looking over the harvester.
The below photo shows our ladies (10 of) who are harvesting the trial areas by hand. they have to date harvested two 4 ha chickpea blocks, and two 4 ha maize blocks. The ladies standing are a part of the group who were visiting.
One thing I very much tried and emphasize was that the machinery is not anything special and on the scale that they were farming they actually had many advantages over us. The last thing we want is to have smallholders thinking it is only possible with machines.

I managed late this afternoon to harvest a sample of sorghum from our latest 600ha, moisture 12.5 so into it tomorrow.
