Impressive farming technique

Well, I try and teach folks in my community to make raised beds. That is, step off to the side and plant in rows to preclude compacting the soil too much. They already as a community work together to plant rice and millet etc, it wouldn’t be all that back breaking.. Or as they do here with some crops like corn, spread seeds THEN tillIng works better than I thought it would and I step back on a lot of things- but compacting soil really does limit growth! Alas, there is a fine line between culture and simple technique. My job isn’t to change what they’re doing, just show them alternatives. There is more to this GIF than people see.. maybe i am relating this too much to my own community.......
