KWEEN: The expectations by many farmers in Ngenge sub county in Kween district to realize bumper harvests has vanished following the scorching sunshine that has already dried up crops in the gardens.
Bruce Cherop one of the farmers says he had hopes to harvest much maize but all his hopes are lost after sunshine dried up his entire maize garden.
While Jona Yeko another farmer says more than 1,000 acres of maize plantation in Ngenge sub county have dried up.
“We last received rains mid-last month and up to now nothing has dropped”-says Yeko
