Great mung bean and chickpea yields mate. Will have to get some tips from you on how to grow them!!
ReplyDeleteGood work and especially a demonstration that the Zero till can be profitable at home (Kenya). We went for a field trip in Dookie area and was impressed by the Canola crop we saw, all under zero till. I think for africa to feed itself , zero till+ Rubble retention is the way to go.
