This Week on the Farm - Episode 2

Hey Everyone!

Thank you so much for all of the great feedback from last week's video. It was definitely a boost to my week!

And no, I don't just do that Ghanaian accent for fun. I remember giving a fairly good closing remark (I thought at least) to a workshop only to be met by a circle of blank stares and unenthusiastic claps when I finished. I asked my boss why and she told me - "Everyone thinks you're very nice - they just can't understand anything you say!" Dery's a bit deaf in the left ear which only compounds the problem. Hence, the thick (da tick) Ghanaian accent.

Episode 2 is now here - delayed due to very slow Internet on Friday. You can watch it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWSyH1xSoLc or below!

Also, if anyone is interested in sending a video message or asking some questions that I can share with Dery and the rest of the family they would be very appreciative. He's interested in what is going on in Canada as well!

Thanks!

Dery is such a movie star! Great video. Was it just me, or did the little sorghum plant look like the weeds in the ground nut field?

cheers!

Lovin it! It's great to get to see the two of you co-host these videos... gives a pretty neat insight into the relationship you have with Dery. Thanks for sharing Ben :)

That's great Ben! I'd love to understand more about what makes labourers so troublesome. What else does Dery do to maintain his fields. It sounds like he has a number of crops, how does he choose how much he plants in each area? Keep on sharing, I'm loving it!
