Susan has been planting her local maize for years but the harvest has been far from satisfactory. Others make huge and bountiful harvest because they use improved varieties on their farms. Susan decided to join the bandwagon of farmers using these new hybrids.
She went to the research institute and bought them. They were quite expensive but she went ahead and bought them anyway. She tilled the ground and planted them according to specifications. She made sure that she followed all the instructions as given.
Few months later, she employed workers to weed the farm. The maize was growing very well. She was happy that the year's harvest will be very different from the previous years.
Each time other farmers pass her farm they usually admire her crops. Soon, the curbs began to appear. They were very huge. Some of the maize was even having multiple curbs on them. Susan was happy that her efforts were yeilding impressive results.
As the months progresses the maize 🌽 were ripe for harvest. Susan mobilized some workers to help her in the harvest. The next day Susan and her workers stormed the maize farm and to her greatest surprise all her crops have been harvested. At first she was confused whether where she entered was actually her farm or someone's else. She ran a quick check and discovered that it was her farm indeed.
She waded into the farm to see the extent of the stealing. At that point it downed on her that all her efforts have gone to waste. With a shrill voice she shouted quietly! No one could hear her voice except her hired workers.
Having seen that there was nothing to harvest she managed to get out of the farm, still shaking her head in absolute disbelief. Who could have done this to me, she muttered to herself. In that state of confusion, she was led home by one of the hired workers.
