Maize

Grown across both Season A and Season B at Normah, maize is the most flexible crop in the farm's rotation — feed and food grade, for export and regional markets.

Season AEarly Mar–Jun
Season BJul–Dec

Grown at Normah

Maize is planted in both Season A and Season B on Normah's Amuru fields, taking advantage of Uganda's bimodal rainfall to spread harvest across the year rather than concentrating risk in a single crop cycle. It follows the farm's rotation with soya beans and sorghum as part of its soil-first agronomy.
