I farm 2 hectares of rice in Kiambu. This season I'm dealing with pests destroying the seedlings. 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Praying for you, Collins. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Madrid.
Hang in there, Collins. Looking forward to the next update. I hope May is when things finally get easier.
