Chuff cutter saves time and labour
In recent years an inexpensive Tanzania-made cutter has become popular among farmers in Uganda, especially among women. Known as the 'chuff cutter', it is a simple, easy-to-use tool for chopping chuff also known as chaff - a constant supply of which is needed for zero-grazed livestock. Specific advantages of the new cutter are that: grass is chopped quickly and uniformly, thus, avoiding waste; there is no risk of cutting one's fingers; it considerably reduces the physical labour of the task; and it is portable and can be used to chop grass directly into the feeding trough. The chuff cutter is available through various sales outlets in Uganda. Contact: Environmental Alert PO Box 11259 Kampala Uganda.
