Students were in the middle of end of semester examinations. However we meet with their leader. He gave us the yield report and the remarks of the plot
1. Harvesting
Amounts in kg/plot ( ½ Acre) Remarks
Corns 367.5 kg The drought has reduced yield in this area.

Beans 47.5 kg


2. Storage
We instructed him on how to store grain for home usage and for selling at the time of high price. We instructed how to mix grain storage pesticides “shumba” and the appropriate volume of grain per bottle recommended. We left the pesticides to him to mix with their harvested grains.

3. Plots
Beans and corn:
They have not performed better because of the drought. Moreover sometimes it was difficult to do the practices in the right time because the schedule did not go together with the university schedule eg. Examinations and holidays

4. Participants
He told us 18 students have been active participats in the demonstration plots program. However some of them are now going for the internships to various parishes for a year so they will not be around.

Conclusions
We asked the leader to give us the information early about the participants in the coming farming seasons. Moreover we told them it’s the University that has the authority to offer certificates of participation and not the Institute (Earlier they asked as to prepare certificates of participation to the program to the finalists).
