It is the busy village. Many people are in the fields preparing their farms. Few people have attended the demonstration today. Pastor told us, she could not get more people because they expect rain soon and many people are planting now.

• Demonstrating planting and fertilizer application

Together with them we went through the handouts

The following were delivered

Questions/comments
Evangelist and three other people said they have tried the techniques taught in the demonstration meetings. One advantage they have experience is the yield increase. One said he used to get 6 – 7 bags per acre now he is getting 20bags per acre.
Conclusion
Magulilwa has been showing yield improvement. It is good land for farming. We told them if they follow all the recommendation as instructed they might be able to increase yields three to fourth times.
