Corn & Bean Harvest

The September 2025 harvest began with Brian's message: "Harvest is in progress." He explained their plan to store most of the maize for up to a year, grinding only what was needed to avoid spoilage. He shared the exact mill cost—$212.29 for 400 kg—so we could see the final step in turning grain into meals.

Brian described how sacks of corn would be kept on raised pallets, with natural pesticides scheduled for week six to prevent insect damage, following the agronomy lessons they'd refined since 2020. This stored cornflour became insurance against future droughts.

Harvest week was a discipleship lab: children helped shuck corn, elders prayed over every basket, and everyone paused to quote John 16:33: "Be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." Bean totals were still pending, so the focus remained on maize until future reports.
