Harvest Time

This is a field next to our house. It is 90 degrees with almost 100% humidity. The plant grows thick tuberous roots. The plants are pulled out of the ground by hand, the tubers are cut and hauled away in the "e-dtek" and taken to a building where they are ground into meal for livestock. The workers work from dawn to dusk and cover every inch of their body. Bob helped them for 15 minutes get the cart unstuck and doesn't know how they work in the sun for 12 hours a day!
