When asked about why he started farming, he had this to say:

"I've always known that I have to go into farming full-time at some stage. So I started the business as a side thing while I was still working and I managed to grow it to a level of employing two guys and producing 2000 chickens per month. Before lockdown."

Peeps across the country had a lot to say concerning their own situation, while others thought the man made a bad decision. See the comments below:
