I get to watch two elections in 2016. The campaign in the USA is baffling to me on many levels. I need to figure out how to get an absentee ballot, which is complicated by the fact I moved from Westminster to Denver just before leaving the country. I will not miss the election commercials this year.

In Uganda, the President and Members of Parliament will be elected on February 18. While there are eight candidates, these three are the main ones. The schools are closed for holiday break an extra month because of the elections.If you are a subscriber, I will have more to say via email.

A Song is not a Business Plan

A Farm Cluster meeting. There were four farmer groups represented. Men sat on one side, the women on the other.

Recently I have been working on drafting a template for business plans to be used by clusters of farming groups. The clusters register themselves and use their larger membership to try to leverage better prices, share resources, improve their marketing, and decrease the cost of inputs.A business plan is something the cluster can show a bank. Individuals will still get the loans.

I travel with members of ATEFO to meetings to obtain information that will go into the business plans. I was given a nice business plan for a maize cluster to work from, and I’m converting it to rice farmer clusters. It’s mostly the same issues. It’s a little too much like legal work than I prefer.  I am a little weak on Word skills for things like tables and templates.

I don’t know if I will get back to a program of teaching farmer groups. I would prefer that. It is tough giving a bank a business plan when the farmers don’t keep records. In the cluster meetings I remind the farmers of that.
