A return visit to Sochoi Dairies in Nandi County.

I am blown away by the strides made since my last visit.

From a heard of slightly over 100, to a current heard of over 200. From a milkers population of around 50 , to a current milkers population of over 100 cows. From a production of around 1000L of mik per day to a production rate of around 2500L of milk currently.

Hard-work resilience & passion pay off. 👏🏽👏🏽

Congratulations to Sochoi dairies fraternity for the strides made , Ukulima ni fun indeed. 👏👏.

Agroforestry is more than planting trees, it is a set of practical solutions that support climate action, biodiversity, and rural livelihoods.

Kenyatta University students today visited the KALRO ARLRI Centre in Kiboko, where they were warmly received by Dr. Bosco Kidake.

During the visit, the students were taken through a wide range of ARLRI rangeland and livestock technologies, showcasing the institute’s work in strengthening climate-resilient pastoral systems.

Highlights included:
Pasture & Forage Technologies
• Horsetail (Chloris roxburghiana)
• Cenchrus ciliaris – TVT3 variety
• Cenchrus ciliaris – MGD1 variety
• Enteropogon macrostachyus (ENMA)
• Eragrostis superba (ERASU)

Students also gained insights into ongoing interventions in livestock health and nutrition, including disease surveillance, feed formulation, pasture improvement, and the management of emerging health challenges such as CBPP. They learned how proper nutrition, timely vaccination, and improved husbandry practices are essential for maintaining productive and climate-resilient livestock systems.

Dr. Kidake emphasized that strong collaboration among research institutions and other key partners is essential for combating the impacts of climate change and promoting the sustainable use of rangeland resources. He further encouraged the students to consider careers in agricultural research, noting that the field offers vast opportunities for innovation, hands-on experience, and real-world impact.

🍃 Mastering Parsley Growth: Key Steps for a Strong Harvest 🍃

1️⃣ Location: Place parsley in partial shade with morning sun and afternoon protection.
2️⃣ Watering: Keep soil consistently moist with daily watering in the morning or evening, avoiding wet leaves.
3️⃣ Soil: Use nutrient-rich soil containing nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, supplemented with manure or organic fertilizers.
4️⃣ Harvesting: Cut stems 3 cm above the base to encourage regrowth, starting with the oldest stems.
5️⃣ Tip: Position parsley near taller plants to provide natural shade and maintain healthy growth.
