Costa Rican Farming

3-17-2012
Everytime we drive along the countryside here in Costa Rica I am blown away by the farmers down here. The hills and fields can range from flat to more than 45 degrees uphill. I just do not understand how they are able to put in all those fence posts, put up the barb wire, walk and plant things on hills so steep and many more things. I also observed how very few ponds and streams that farmers had access to use. They have to rely on the rain to insure the plants live or have pipes and pumps that I could not see. You could also tell the difference on how much farmers were making by the fence posts. The more money making farmers had either nice cement posts or painted wood posts compared to the sticks the poorer farmers were using as fence posts.
My hat is off to the farmers down here and their farming ways.
