An agronomist's advice for Akello's maize farm in Nairobi
Looking for an agronomist or experienced grower to advise on yields that have halved for two seasons.

I farm 1 hectares of maize in Nairobi. This season I'm dealing with yields that have halved for two seasons. I've tried what the local suppliers recommended, but results aren't improving.
I'm looking for an agronomist or experienced grower who can look at photos, soil-test results and my planting plan, and advise on what to change. A 30-minute call or exchange of messages would be fantastic.
I'm happy to share photos and a soil test. I'm using only what I can afford, so low-cost suggestions are best. I'll share how it goes - and what worked - to help others in the community.
Thank you so much.

Rooting for you, Akello. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update. All the best
You're not alone, Akello. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out
Sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
