This is beautiful to see and hear. As a kenyan farmer myself based in USA for now with experience running a large American dairy farm(Wisconsin). I appreciate your vision. Feed Feed Feed is key to successful dairy farming. Mechanization is key and there is potential to doing custom work for farmers who cannot invest in farm machinery. I believe we need leaders that can support this and cut down on regulations and that kitu kidogo culture so that farmers can produce more. This kitu kidogo culture has eaten our beautiful country and people need to be fed. I hope one day I will meet you and shake your hand. I saw this vision long time ago and it took you from a far to play it out. Bravo my man Bravo. Talk soon.
