Page 69 - SCAT Rural Voice II - 35 Stories for 35 Years

I have been on a long journey with our farming project. If I remember well it took me five years of failing before I won an agricultural competition and went to represent the Free State province in East London. We were awarded the best emerging agriculture project in the Free State Province. We achieved this with the help of SCAT, World Vision and the departments of Agriculture and Social Development. I am now at the point where I can help others start farming projects of their own. For this, I would like to say thank you to SCAT, there is no word above thank you.
