There have been no protests that normally characterise the festive season in the North Rift as farmers push for better prices.
Even though the government did not give maize farmers subsidised fertiliser or buy their grains, 2020 has been more rewarding.
Unlike in the past when farmers in the North Rift region staged protests often to compel the government to open the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) stores, all has been calm this year.
