This meeting was held together in the parish church. Students and Parish members participated in the meeting. Since this is the distant located plot, we delivered seeds and fertilizers for the preparation of the coming farming season
Purposes of the visit
• To collect the yield measurement
• To deliver grain storage pesticides, seeds and fertilizers
• End of season discussion and planning for the next farming season

• Yield recording sheet
2. Harvesting
Both corn and beans have been harvested. The yields are very low
Crop Corn Beans
Yield per ½ acres 2 bags 2 tins
3. Discussion about the farming season
there has been problem with the management and the plot location. We told them that since last year was the first year to them, we expect better management of the plot this year. We told them to choose the location they think the plots will be successful next farming season. The same corn and bean variety will be used next farming season.
4. Demonstration
Planting and fertilizer applications:
We demonstrated on how to plant and apply fertilizers. We insisted that they should not place seeds and fertilizers together. There should be at least 5cm apart. The spacing is 60×20cm for corn. Fertilizers should be applied to both corn and beans.
5. Delivery
We delivered corn and bean seeds and fertilizers
Item Corn Fertilizers for corn
Variety H6303 NPK

Conclusion
We told them that we would like to see improvement on the plots next year. The aim of the plots is to teach students better farming practices. When plots are good, students will be attracted to learn and then to pass the knowledge to their parents.
