MONROVIA, October 15 (LINA) -The Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) has initiated a program to provide farm mechanization services to farmers across the country.

According to Agriculture Minister, Dr. Florence Chenoweth, farmers will be able to rent tools such as tractors with all their implements, including power tillers, threshers, winnowers and seeders under the initiative.
The initiative is part of efforts to empower farmers, famer cooperatives and the public to grow more food, said a statement issued in Monrovia Wednesday by the Agriculture Ministry.
The release said the ministry is encouraging interested persons or organizations to pick up application forms with relevant details from its head office on the Somalia Drive in Gardnersville or at the offices of Agriculture Coordinators in the 15 counties.
