Our combine is on the ground, ready to work!

8/11/2015

After more than a month of discussions with Cheetah Development in Tanzania, we have worked out a 
plan to get the combine in operation in time for the maize(corn) harvest that is starting RIGHT NOW…in 
Iringa, Tanzania.  Instead of Steve Strehlow going to Iringa to teach, train and start the operation, it has 
been decided that the local staff of Cheetah Development and Pearl Foods will use the manuals and CD’s 
sent with the combine to learn how to operate it “by the book” and that later this year Steve will go to 
help them work out any problems they have encountered in the first harvesting season and “fine tune” 
the operation.  We will have the help of the local John Deere agency and their service facility just 
outside Iringa in this. 

 So, soon the combine will be moved to the first village where it will go to work threshing the harvest of 
the many farmers who are part of the Cheetah Development production and marketing plan that is 
lifting so many of them up and out of poverty.  This will be an exciting time and we hope to have some 
great pictures and report in this space in the near future…
