@k_rafaelM Yes, we sell certified seed, both Nyota and Yellow beans (KATB1).

@StuartBarden Do you sell seeds especially for these yellow beans?

Yellow beans up and away

Planting forage sorghum continues, our new home made meters are working well. Small tweek, and they will give us the semi precision we are after

Another Stella group of 11 Nuffield scholars from 8 countries visited Kenya last week. They looked into various agricultural businesses to understand Kenyan Agricultural as a part of Nuffield's GFP (Global Focus Program)

@LeonRyan4 Both OK so far

@StuartBarden What’s your diesel & fertiliser situation like over there Stu?

Bit wet at present

Saw this at a filter shop today in Nairobi.

@JarrodAmery @Kerin_Ag My Mum used to follow us with a hockey stick on our runs

Commercial scale silage trials

@Kenya_Agron Could it be some kind of lime induced deficiency, David?

This is now the fourth 'crop' through this sodic soil. Gypsum applied to the pot on the right at the very beginning. Two interesting things are happening: 1, the gypsum pot looks very short of N. I have grown legumes and put all crop residues back. Leaching through better structure and drainage? 2, there are more aphids on the left-hand plant, none on right. Despite constantly being told that aphids don't like healthy plants with high Brix etc.

@BoltenFritz @Rabobank Make sure you leave them a picture of yourself, Fritz

In Brazilia today. @Rabobank Rabo are looking after us again. Look at who’s stayed at this hotel in the past. Bahia region tomorrow. Very excited.
