DIPOLOG CITY, Mar. 22 (PIA) – San Jose farmers in Dipolog received machines and equipment from the local government during the “Ugnayan at Serbisyong Bayan-Barangay Caravan” held recently, here.

The president of San Jose Farmers Association in Barangay San Jose, Dipolog City, Danilo de la Cruz Halike expressed his gratitude upon receiving machines and equipment. 

The association received two whole shredder machines, 200 meters duct hose, 200 meters garden hose, two whole knapsack sprayers, two whole garden drums, 20 bags of corn seeds and various seeds of vegetables.

According to Halike, their members are very thankful because the local government through the local agricultural office has always served the farmers in Barangay San Jose. 

He said it's not the first time they received this kind of assistance as they had already benefitted from the mechanical rice thresher which helped generate more income for them and the animals they had received such as cows, buffalos and chickens which they raised for additional livelihood. 

Halike also expressed his gratitude to the City Agriculture Office through Engr. Kerr Porlas for its diligence and efforts in reaching out to their organization.

The San Jose Farmers Association has 131 active members who are now focusing on making organic fertilizer to be used in their crops. (RVC/EDT/Berlyn E. Calarian-OJT/with reports from Dipolog City Government Facebook page)
