This is my "posh car", my "beast", my money making machine. Until such a time when agriculture is really paying me, that is when I will opt for a luxurious vehicle. This "beast"will plough, disc, plant, sort hay bales, spray the crops, pump water,pull the trailers and a lot more.

Temperature Range: Daytime highs are hovering near 36°C–37°C, with overnight lows around 20°C–22°C. UV Index: Extreme UV levels (reaching 10 to 11+) during peak midday hours Irrigation is the only answer.

 A powerful El Niño is actively forming and threatens Southern Africa. We keep pushing, 60 000 cabbages loading for the Xmas marketing window.

True Boss. More of economy from these fattened thin cows! Maybe the super grading would have been done by the butchery operator him/herself not the meat graders and inspectors, lol.

More and more Zimbabwean butcheries are selling 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗳 — and if you have bought "Super Beef" recently that lacked flavour, this is why. 🥩 The process is simple: emaciated or older, grass-fed cows are put into fattening pens and fed heavy compound feed to rapidly gain weight before slaughter. While it boosts tonnage on paper, the end result on your plate is not great: 👉 𝗟𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘃𝗼𝘂𝗿: Rapid pen-fattening produces soft meat, but it lacks the rich taste of properly matured, range-fed beef. 👉 Fatty Offals: The offals from these cows are often laced with thick layers of soft fat and taste horrible. Until butcheries are required to label this meat properly, price remains your best indicator: If you see "Super Beef" selling for significantly less than 𝗨𝗦$𝟳.𝟱𝟬/𝗸𝗴, it is almost certainly pen-fattened cow beef. Have you noticed a drop in beef quality at your local butchery lately? 👇 #Zimbabwe #Harare #ZimBeef #FoodQuality #Agriculture #ZimLife #ShoppingZim

He is the Priest. He is a healer, evangelist, prophet and baptist. He is assisted by almost everybody in the church in these roles. Every male member is either an evangelist, prophet, healer or baptist. For women is either prophet or healer.

They have opened about 50+ schools in different provinces since the establishment of St Noah Primary School. This within a span of 10 years I think. Quite a rapid growth.
whilst it is true that there were many instances of child marriages, the position has since changed with the church now encouraging parents to ensure children go to school. The Church itself built schools across the country representing a huge change in attitude towards education.

Drilling 4 dry boreholes in a row , 140m each is not for the weak. Siting and surveying done using traditional and modern methods. Could this be a spritual cause or poor survey?

Replying to @BGMusisinyani
I have been doing cattle for more than 20 years. The main considerations include: 1. Calving rate (and it is possible to achieve over 75% calving rates). We buy the best bulls and we give them very productive cows. 2. Pen feeding cycles for steers and unproductive cows. 60 day cycles are quite attainable with good feed. 3. Rate of conversion of grass to protein. We have consistently out performed a weight gain of 1kg per day. 4. Cost of feed. We make our own feed. We make silage from natural grasses, cultivated grasses and crops. This helps us reduce the cost of feed significantly. 5. Low mortality rates. We hire the most capable veterinary doctors. We vaccinate our cattle and deep them regularly. 6. TNLT will be subjected to independent audit annually. 7. The listed tokens will only be a fraction of our total herd. 8. I will ask our financial experts to conduct a further review of the coupon prior to listing. 9. I must now thank you for properly raising your concerns and I apologize for having been rude to you.
