As we prepared for the 2025 to 2026 growing season, we outlined our crop focus clearly. We selected a Tomato F1 hybrid variety known for vigour, consistency and good market value. Alongside the tomatoes, we planned to grow NUA 45 beans, valued for their rich taste, nutrition and good demand in both local and regional markets.
The planning stage involved reviewing last season’s lessons, mapping the fields to ensure better organisation and preparing labour arrangements for field work. We scheduled the crop areas, estimated input requirements, and ensured that tools for record-keeping, such as the farm activity logbook and input registers, were ready for use from day one.
Land clearing followed as the first on ground task. Old vegetation was slashed, ridges were prepared and the field layout was aligned with the direction of water flow from the pump. We also ensured that pathways for movement and irrigation consistency were easy to manage.
This stage represents more than just preparing soil. It marks the beginning of a more organised and well-recorded farming journey, where every step is guided by planning, accountability and experience from our first season.
