. According to Tegen, \u201cNo matter what kind of farmer we are, most of us do not understand technical terms, which causes the agricultural extension training to be misunderstood.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nTegen said that receiving agricultural advisories via videos helped him and his peers better understand the agronomic practices. The videos are made in Bench language<\/span> and feature local farmers just like him. <\/span>\u00a0\u201cTo be honest, every farmer is happy. I learned things I did not know before and did not pay much attention to would increase productivity from the video tutorials. I am able to make a difference in my agricultural practices by getting a good education from the video extensions,\u201d Tegen noted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nTegen recommended video extension services for farmers elsewhere noting, \u201cIf all farmers get video-based extension services and learn from the practice of fellow farmers they watched on the videos, they will be able to translate the videos into action. Video tutorials correct us from many mistakes as we need up-to-date lessons.\u201d Speaking of his success, Tegen said he was able to increase his profit from maize production.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nDigital Green joins forces with government, private sector, and most importantly rural communities themselves to co-create solutions that are of the community and for the community.
