Back in early March, the ladies wanted to plant the 15 bushels of groundnut but were overuled by the boys who wanted to spread the planting to make the harvest manageable. A good idea but they ignored a folklore rule of planting groundnut before the end of March and as a result the whole co-op suffers as the late-planted harvest spoilt in the sun, wizened. So the members agree that 4 bushel can be divided up between the members and 4 bushel can come to Mama Mayila's Cradle to feed our children and the remainder will be replanted next season more than doubling the amount we can plant.
Even better, the boys promised to listen to the Ladies in future and to start planting earlier to enable their sequential planting.
