27 March
I went back
to maize field today. It has completely dried out and is ready to be cut
down. There was talk of using machetes, but fortunately a rotor chopper was
found. It does a similar job to a set of hair dresser’s clippers. While one person
ran the chopper down cutting two rows at a time, one of the team was either
side coaxing the stalks to fall away from the chopper with a couple of long
sticks. All the fallen maize then had to be shifted away from the row so it was
clear for the chopper to pass by again. It was a tough job physically and we
were all knackered by the end. We started at 8.45am and finished at 1.15pm.
