Our Success Stories
Across South Africa, emerging farmers are making huge strides thanks AFGRI’s Harvest Time programme, which makes finance, training, agronomists and mentors available to farmers.
Here are just a few of their success stories.
In Metsweding, Gauteng, Farmer A is flourishing
In the 2013/2014 season Harvest Time met Skhosana for the first time. Only 68 ha had been planted using a planter which was incorrectly calibrated creating large, inefficient gaps amongst the maize plants.
In the Nkangala district of Mpumalanga yields are improving
In this case, a farmer began farming in 2011 cultivating a mere 150 ha of maize. In 2012 he joined the AFGRI Harvest Time training and development programme.
In Mpumalanga, Farmer C now has a 617 ha farm and recently won Farmer of the Year with Grain SA
Humble beginnings meant that Salomon originally farmed on 50 ha but three years ago this started to change when he joined the AFGRI Harvest Time training and development programme.
In Standerton Farmer D is making his passion a reality
This is the first year in the Harvest Time programme for Job, who is very passionate about farming, and is a highly motivated individual.
