Maize fields show signs of life

As the rains have started falling across the country after weeks of scorching sun, maize fields have started showing signs of life again. Although people are going to harvest some maize, it is clear that the harvest will be affected by the dry spell because most of the crop is tassling at a very short height. The picture, which was taken on Wednesday in Lilongwe, Area 49, shows a field of maize that has regained strength after a prolonged dry spell.— Jacob Nankhonya, Staff Reporter
