LESSON LEARNED

摘要

Irecently learned a costly lesson that many of you know instinctively. But. for me, it cost me a crop under irrigation. Our farm is in a remote part of Ghana. Farming in an isolated region without electricity and a network of trusted colleagues can be a challenge. You can reach our farm by a tractor path, a primitive road from the interior of the Afram Plains. The journey starts from one of the largest towns on the western side called Mamekrobo, or "krobo" as the locals call it. It's about 18 milesto reach our farm and the trip takes about 2.5 hours. Since our farm is on the lake, we are able to reach our home base using a locally made wooden boat. It's a much quicker trip than trying to meander your way on a poor road network.
