He said the planning committee veered off the usual practice of awarding a three-bedroom house worth $100,000 to the overall best farmer.
Speaking on Accra FM, he said "The usual prize has been a three-bedroom house worth US$100,000, but we thought that it was not good enough to tie the farmer’s hand by providing him a house, and, so, it was better to give him this money so he can invest this money to his agricultural work."
