28yr-old Joseph Ayaaba wins best farmer award at Akrofuom district

It was all joy at Brofoyedru a farming community in the Akrofoum district when a 28-year-old farmer from Akrofuom, Joseph Tawiah Ayaaba was adjudged the overall district best farmer.

His award comes as a feather in the cap of the Assembly and the Agric Directorate, who have over the years campaigned to get more of the youth in the district to get involved in Agriculture.

This, the District Best Farmer, Joseph Tawiah Ayaaba said, was unfortunate but mentioned that his award will encourage the youth to develop interest in farming.

I encourage the youth who have interest in farming to work closely with the District extension officers, who will guide them to adopt the best farming methods to increase yield”, he added.

He said the Akrofoum district is on course to build a robust, resilient and equitable food system that can withstand shocks.
