Serikali inapaswa kuwaelimisha wakulima nchini. Hivi ni kwa sababu ya upungufu wa mazao ya kilimo. Wakulima wengi wamepungukiwa na ujuzi wa shughuli za ukulima. Hivyo basi, kuna haja ya kuwafunza njia za kunyunyizia mazao yao dawa. Pia inafaa wafunzwe njia bora za upanzi. Kwa wengine, kutumia mbolea huwa ni jambo wasilolijua wala kulithamini. Hii hupunguza mazao ikiwa mashamba hayana rutuba.
Kwa wanaofuga wanyama na ndege kama vile kuku, wanapaswa kufundishwa mbinu za kukabiliana na magonjwa kama ville sotoka kwa ng'ombe na kideri kwa kuku. Maafisa wa kilimo kukabiliana na magonjwa kama vile sotoka kwa ng'ombe na kideri kwa kuku. Maafisa wa kilimo hawana budi  kuwa katika mstari wa mbele katika kuwapa wakulima misaada ya kila aina maana kilimo ni uti wa mgongo wa taifa letu.

   2. ni jambo geni wasilolielewa. 
   3. hustalili kufunzwa na maafisa wa kilimo.
   4. ni jambo walilo na mazoea makuu nalo.
8. Kulingana na ufahamu, si kweli kusema kuwa
   1. serikali haina budi kuwapa wakulima mafunzo kemkem.
   2. mashamba yasiyo na rutuba huhitaji mbolea. 
   3. sotoka huwaathiri sana kuku huku ng'ombe wakiugua kideri.
