Sorghum farmers in Makueni County are returning to contract farming with brewers after getting a new seed variety that is less prone to destruction caused by birds, which had driven them abandoning the crop.

Brewers normally prefer Gadam variety for processing of Keg, however, this variety targeted by the birds and they end up eating everything that growers have planted, subjecting them to losses.
