Maize Farming in Zambia: How We Established a Maize Crop at our New Farm

Maize is our staple cereal here in south central Africa, and is mostly grown on a small scale by smallholder farmers using traditional methods and relatively limited inputs. Yields are normally low, with most farmers producing just enough to feed their families and only selling a small surplus.
But in order to continue being able to feed our ever-growing population, more emerging farmers will have to step up and use modern machinery and best agronomic methods to achieve larger yields.

This video shares how we established a crop of maize at our new farm, Kimberley.

Often times, agricultural YouTube channels tend to be over edited and over polished to a point they don't really show what farmers and farming is about. I am glad you have a good balance. I really appreciate your channel. Love from Zimbabwe

Well arranged and informative video sir. being a first time farmer i am encouraged because you not only highlight the good side of farming but also the hurdles along this noble journey. Things don't always pan out to be what we plan therefore flexibility and resilience is key. thankyou sir and well done.
