It was easy \u2018as Sunday morning\u2019, \u2018a smooth flow\u2019 and\u2019 very impressive\u2019 were some of the words used by persons collecting seedlings to describe the \u2018Farm Ah Ya Yard\u2019 two-day<\/span><\/span> National<\/span><\/span> Seedling<\/span><\/span> Distribution E<\/span><\/span>xercise which got underway at various locations yesterday\u00a0<\/span><\/span>(Monday).<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Making the rounds at the various locations, the encou<\/span><\/span>raging feedback was shared<\/span><\/span> not only by members of the public but by the organizers and those manning the distribution center<\/span><\/span>s<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Members of The Farmers F<\/span><\/span>orum group, the<\/span><\/span>Antigua and Barbuda <\/span><\/span>Red Cross and the Ministry of Agriculture<\/span><\/span> including CARDI<\/span><\/span>, collaborated<\/span><\/span> on this <\/span><\/span>well-orchestrated<\/span><\/span> initiative <\/span><\/span>in light of the covid-19 protocols<\/span><\/span> w<\/span><\/span>hich were strictly observed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

It was evident <\/span><\/span>even <\/span><\/span>before <\/span><\/span>entering the distribution sites that things were well<\/span><\/span> planned as all persons who were collecting seedlings <\/span><\/span>were directed to <\/span><\/span>the <\/span><\/span>registration<\/span><\/span> desk, <\/span><\/span>then<\/span><\/span> to another area to collect their seedlings which were already packaged and<\/span><\/span> they <\/span><\/span>were <\/span><\/span>also given<\/span><\/span> a brief <\/span><\/span>talk on what the package<\/span><\/span> entails of how to take c<\/span><\/span>are of the plants.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

One <\/span><\/span>lady recounts \u201c<\/span><\/span>It was very simple, it wasn\u2019t a long process, I just came<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> I gave my name, they asked me for my ID and the guy came and gave me an explanation for the plants.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

At the O<\/span><\/span>ttos Comprehensive S<\/span><\/span>chool<\/span><\/span>, Vice<\/span><\/span>P<\/span><\/span>resident of the Antigua and Barbuda <\/span><\/span>Red <\/span><\/span>Cross Viveca<\/span><\/span> Sh<\/span><\/span>adrack said that the process <\/span><\/span>went <\/span><\/span>very well<\/span><\/span>as<\/span><\/span> they started promptly at 7.30am and by a little after 10<\/span><\/span>, they<\/span><\/span> were basically winding down. <\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Ms<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span> Efuru<\/span><\/span> E<\/span><\/span>lihu <\/span><\/span>and <\/span><\/span>Mr. <\/span><\/span>Milton Barnes represented the Ministry of A<\/span><\/span>griculture<\/span><\/span> at the location and Elihu said <\/span><\/span>that pumpkin<\/span><\/span>, potato vine, cassava, okra<\/span><\/span>and string beans were distributed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cW<\/span><\/span>hen we started<\/span><\/span>, it<\/span><\/span> was very crowded but <\/span><\/span>we <\/span><\/span>quickly work<\/span><\/span>ed<\/span><\/span> together as a t<\/span><\/span>eam and the <\/span><\/span>crowd dispers<\/span><\/span>ed and the<\/span><\/span> flow is much fr<\/span><\/span>eer, <\/span><\/span>they are maintaining their social distance and we <\/span><\/span>are looking forward to tomorrow,\u201d<\/span><\/span>Elihu stated.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

T<\/span><\/span>he<\/span><\/span> Community Development D<\/span><\/span>ivision<\/span><\/span> was <\/span><\/span>also <\/span><\/span>among those who <\/span><\/span>assisted in this distribution exercise and <\/span><\/span>Elihu <\/span><\/span>thanked all the <\/span><\/span>volunteers<\/span><\/span> who aided<\/span><\/span> in maintaining a smooth flow of<\/span><\/span> seedling distribution process.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

P<\/span><\/span>etr<\/span><\/span>a<\/span><\/span>ni<\/span><\/span>lla <\/span><\/span>J<\/span><\/span>oseph <\/span><\/span>and her team <\/span><\/span>were part of the Ministry of Agriculture\u2019s team at J<\/span><\/span>enni<\/span><\/span>n<\/span><\/span>g<\/span><\/span>s P<\/span><\/span>rimary <\/span><\/span>and she <\/span><\/span>said a long line built up earlier in the morning hours <\/span><\/span>but they were able to get people <\/span><\/span>out quickly<\/span><\/span> as a proper plan was in place<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. <\/span><\/span>Ayo <\/span><\/span>S<\/span><\/span>imon <\/span><\/span>and team held the fort at Clare Hall Secondary and he <\/span><\/span>said that the response from the public was very good and he believes <\/span><\/span>that the <\/span><\/span>online pre-registration process<\/span><\/span> had a lot to do with it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span><\/span>Ear<\/span><\/span>lier, they was a lot of people<\/span><\/span> but as we started<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> as you see<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> we had already bagged out everything, so the transition was very fast, people didn\u2019t event spend ten minutes here.<\/span><\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Simon said<\/span><\/span> that this activity is now showing people the importance of back yard gardening and the importance of to at least have some sort of food in your backyard<\/span><\/span>and not just to be heavil<\/span><\/span>y dependent on the supermarkets<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cM<\/span><\/span>ost people are now going to the supermarke<\/span><\/span>t<\/span><\/span>s to buy tomatoes<\/span><\/span>;<\/span><\/span> to buy herbs and spices, these are things that can be omitted in a time of crisis like this, you can have all these in your backyard<\/span><\/span>.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Veteran Farmer Mr. Caud<\/span><\/span>ley George was at villa primary.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

George who is also a member of the Farmers Forum has been in the business for over three decades. He said<\/span><\/span>that the<\/span><\/span> process at his location went well an<\/span><\/span>d he is looking forward to tomor<\/span><\/span>r<\/span><\/span>o<\/span><\/span>w.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span><\/span>As <\/span><\/span>much as you <\/span><\/span>can get these out to <\/span><\/span>people to<\/span><\/span> plant them, it<\/span><\/span> will greatly assist in the areas of food nutrition security for Antigua and Barbuda. It <\/span><\/span>also <\/span><\/span>helps other to make use of the time that they are not able to do something at this present <\/span><\/span>moment <\/span><\/span>and it helps t<\/span><\/span>o build family relationships,\u201d George added.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mrs.<\/span><\/span> Tricia Audain <\/span><\/span>who farms with her husband, said that she <\/span><\/span>has<\/span><\/span> served<\/span><\/span> with pleasure<\/span><\/span> at multiple locations and she<\/span><\/span> also pointed out<\/span><\/span> that<\/span><\/span> at one of the locations, an<\/span><\/span>elderly lady shared with them how <\/span><\/span>i<\/span><\/span>mpressed she was <\/span><\/span>with<\/span><\/span> the service she received and the orderly manner in which the distribution was conducted.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chairman <\/span><\/span>o<\/span><\/span>f the National Farmers Forum <\/span><\/span>Marvin Joseph <\/span><\/span>said that<\/span><\/span> he was quite pleased with how today\u2019s activity came off.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cT<\/span><\/span>oday\u2019s distribution was s<\/span><\/span>m<\/span><\/span>ooth, we had a great turn-out and we look<\/span><\/span> forward to tomorrow and beyond,<\/span><\/span>\u2019<\/span><\/span> Mr. Joseph stated.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The seedling distribution <\/span><\/span>programme <\/span><\/span>continues tomorrow from 7.30am \u2013 11.30<\/span><\/span>am<\/span><\/span> for <\/span><\/span>persons whose surnames begin with J<\/span><\/span> –<\/span><\/span> <\/a>Z at Villa Primary, Clare Hall S<\/span><\/span>econdary<\/span><\/span>, Jennings Primary, Pares S<\/span><\/span>econd<\/span><\/span>a<\/span><\/span>ry, Irene<\/span><\/span>B.<\/span><\/span> Williams,<\/span><\/span> Ottos Comprehensive<\/span><\/span> and Barbuda.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
