Title: 24 November 2001: farmers in Machakos: cheap, please - or best of all, free.
Abstract: This paper briefly discusses the methods and problems (such as extensive yield losses due to stem borers) of cultivating maize in Machakos, Kenya, by local farmers as determined by extension workers who regularly visit the area. The negative feedback of the local farmers to the concept of using seeds other than those which they recycle from their own harvests, such as hybrid seeds that are far more costly, is mentioned.
