The acceptable ratio of extension officer to farmer is 1:250. in SA the ratio is a crazy 1:1500! This simply means our farmers are without the much needed and necessary assistance from extension officers. Yet there are almost 5000 idle EOs. #employAAPsnow

@Mngxitama2 The unfortunate part is we still offer our services to the farmers for free. Some call us for help and we end up using our own money to go see them and assist were we can. We do love our jobs

In my mind right now is the plight of the #UnemployedAgricGraduates almost 5000 of them! Sitting at home when there is MASSIVE NEED for their services. The so called GNU is punishing our people!
