Drought is being experienced everywhere and that means animal feed is hard to come by. But tough times call for smart solutions. While farmers in other areas are lamenting over the shortage of feed, a farm in Njoro, Nakuru County has more than enough.

In this 2,700 acre technology farm managed by Rift Valley Development–Registered Trustees, is a mammoth underground hay and silage storage facility that can keep feed fresh for three years.
