The demonstration plots have been moved back to the Parish from the preaching point called Kwale. Pastor and Parish leaders thought irrigation at Ruaha Mbuyuni is much more reliable than in Kwale. We went directly to the plot which is close to the water stream and conducted demonstration there.

Corn and Bean Plots Discussion
Corn has been planted on January 18, 2012. Bean will be planter later in May or June. The irrigation will done using ditches drawing water from big and cement constructed ditch. This ditch is part of the large irrigation scheme constructed by the government in Ruaha Mbuyuni
