Sweet reward

Cheryl Jones has much to smile about.
Her long hours of toil have paid off with a bumper crop of yams, one of which weighs  26 pounds.
Jones, who has been working the land on a part-time basis for the past 15 years, took over from her mother, who was told by her doctor to take it easy.
The farmer is pleased with her crop, given the challenges presented by last November’s persistent rains. And while crop thieves have not affected her in recent times, monkeys and giant African snails have both created problems for her other crops. (ES)
