Maize is probably the most common crop in Kenya owing to the fact that it is a major constituent of our staple food – the ugali. After harvesting the maize cob, farmers either let their animals into these farms to eat the leafy dry parts of the crop; others simply cut them and throw them on the side to pave way for another season. Some set them on fire.
This is a big waste that should be avoided in all seasons considering the high cost of feeding animals. Farmers actually overlook this economical source of feed for their livestock right in their backyard.
