farming












Rus and Ila tagged along with the owner of a farm one late afternoon a few days ago. His farm produces cayenne, chili and peaches and they lease out some land for potatoes. There is also a big turkey farm close by. Busloads of workers come to these farms every morning from Nuevo, Dublan and other areas.

pictures: Ila playing in sand with a friendly worker (They put the seeds in the sand to keep them dormant before planting. They need a certain number of dormancy hours before they can be planted.), and a truck load of cayenne peppers

hey guys. sounds like fun. that guy with the sunglasses on looks like a "surly worker". so on a related travel note you may want to check out pete and shahla's website www.culturequest.ca as they have updated their pictures. oh and rus some of that candy might be good for you the next time we take the canoe out on waterton lake in november, help keep your feet on the ground when you're carrying the canoe.
