The Chief director (agricultural engineering, mechanisation, post-harvest agro-processing and soil conservation) in the Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development Engineer Edwin Zimunga said:

We are urging all wheat farmers to expedite harvesting of their winter wheat crops by all means available.

We have created combine harvesters clusters countrywide, where farmers can access efficient service.

Farmers need to get in touch with local leadership to organise and schedule harvesting and grain drying services immediately to save the winter wheat.
