Small crops expected for this year

rs. The weather is quite funny. Although it is raining daily, it is not enough to let the corn crop flourish enough. It has a height of not even half a meter and already starts to dry out. As it is the case in other parts of the world, a shortage and a prize increase of various food products is predicted. As many farmers had to leave their fields after the clashes in Kenya, not enough seeds could be sowed. Many fields are empty. When I went home there was a special atmosphere. A thunderstorm was arriving and the last sun rays created a nice rainbow. I have to hurry to send my report before the power collapses again. Luckily I have some laterns to make my daily office work and to fill out my tax forms...
