Plan one maize season from field to paid sale
The photo-led 19-page field guide follows a two-acre crop from land access to cash collection. A visual cash bridge makes the illustrative case legible: gross sales, costs, operating surplus and setup outlay. The 40 saleable 90 kg bag-equivalent case means 3,600 kg from one seasonal harvest, not a monthly supply. Validate it against net planted area and current KALRO or local extension advice. Example price and cost values are hypothetical arithmetic, not current market quotes or typical costs.
- 19-page field guide and six-page free sample.
- Existing editable nine-tab Excel workbook for cycle costing, yield/price break-even, inputs, labour, harvest/grading, setup, cash flow and evidence.
- Printable buyer comparison, field operation, harvest reconciliation and season close records.
Check current KMD forecasts, location-specific technical guidance, buyer grain specification and applicable county, seed, crop-protection and tax requirements for the actual farm.
