The Millionaire Farmer

Cultural beliefs in some communities have always been a barrier especially when it comes to the issue of women owning land specifically through inheritance which hampers their capacity to be economically active. However, this has not been a hinderance for Martha Otieno from Homabay County who is reaping big from farming by working around that CULTURAL norm to acquire land of her own. But how is it possible for a woman in her twenties and from a community not known for farming earn so much millions in a short period and more so through agriculture?

Good reporting from this TV station. Many African youths need to see such report so we don't sit and wait for governments to give us jobs. The corrupt governments can't do that

Tonny True. What pisses me off about Africa is a HUGE territory of land being used just to "preserve" lions and other animals. Guess what? Lions don't bring NOTHING to our lives. They are killing machines who need plenty of land to keep alive. Imagine if all that land was used to farm, Africa would be damn rich!!!! I don't mind lions and alligators being extinct, FUCK them! They will not think twice about eating you alive.

@TonnyOkello 9 жыл бұрын

FeelingShred We actually have plenty of arable land besides the game reserves that can be used for agriculture . The problem our school system produces young people who despise farming leaving most of the farming to old people who do subsistence farming. We need such stories so that young people can settle and farm instead of walking the streets looking for 'respectable' jobs!

+FeelingShred Except lions and alligators are at the top of their food chains. If they go extinct, their food web structure will be completely fucked.

@jamestruter2788 7 жыл бұрын

Tonny Okello I agree with you. Farming is not seen as 'sexy' by the youth. Not only does tje schooling system not promote it, but our youth are also taught to look for jobs after school instead of creating their own jobs...

Tonny Go to the USA brcause they give out free checks and health care and dental care and housing and food etc.... Plus you can rob people if they have something you want because they give you free lawyers too. Then claim racism and everyone will be scared to send you to jail. Everything better in America, America. Everything better in America America....America.

Hello Yusuf, it's true Organic farming is slowly evolving into a niche market, with farmers around the world reaping the benefits for offering such produce into the market place. Being innovative within organic production, will be most helpful in establishing oneself within this lucrative market, for the good of everybody. Ask & you will receive, the truth. With thanks, Peace my friend.

+ELIAKIM Joseph Sophia, I live in Ontario Canada and enjoy gardening at my little backyard during the short summer months. I grow some of my produce in pots and some directly in the ground. I plant almost everything and grow potatoes with peelings that really turns out well. I mostly harvest abundance of tomatoes, peppers, shallots, butter nut squash, string beans in yellow, green, purple, sweet peas, spinach, Kyle, swiss chard including bell peppers, sweet banana peppers, hot peppers in different varieties including herbs. Cucumbers and a whole lot more. I give away so much to neighbors and friends at work and still able to freeze lots of tomatoes to use through the winter months till early spring. Just love to garden and wish to have a nice greenhouse I could garden through the winter months. Would be great to live at a warmer location where I could garden all year long. It is incredibly amazing what one little tiny seed to grow into. Would love to do something like what this brilliant lady is doing. My tomatoes mostly reseeds from droppings in the garden and do come back each year in late spring. I planted 6 seeds of Aspergers last summer and by fall I had over 20 Asperger plants growing together. What I didn't know was that, it really spreads and multiplies and also comes back each year as it is considered a perennial plant but could only harvest withing two years. It takes time for it to grow think Aspergers. Gardening is therapeutic and stress relieving I enjoy it with all my heart.
