ACCLAIMS FOR THE NXTGEN FARMER:
“I am so glad that finally, someone wrote about the harsh realities that have long bound our rural farmers in poverty. Things which are usually discussed amongst us but were not looked into deep enough to seek the real root of those problems in order to give the right solutions. The author has carefully looked through the superficial problems that beset rural farmers and put together carefully researched and proven solutions learned from the University of Life to help rural farmers help themselves break away from the bondage of poverty.”
