Efrain had heard rumors of a tractor-drawn disc-plow for sale. Well, we do not have a tractor, but it is great to have the disc-plow. Efrain, Lauren and Will (our neighbor, who is always helping) and I went to Alegria, the next big/little town (about 5km away) to check out the disc-plow. A real beauty ... and very big.
I negotiated a price that included transport to the farm. I had the cash ready ... so we have a disc-plow. This will be great to prepare land for improved pasture, and for field crops like sugarcane and others, like pineapple. Our neighbor Isaac has a big tractor that we hope we can rent. Also, we still are training 2 work oxen with Vivian's father. They will be good for hauling and plowing and preparing the soil with a small plow after the big disc-plow has turned over the land. The new goat area is looking great. They seem really happy in the new fenced off area. We are looking to buy more goats, and finish the new goat infrastructure.
Pura Vida!
