Popular Post shaggy1969 Posted November 30, 2013 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2013 One day after dropping the little one off at school and heading back home with Mrs Shaggy I spotted a trailer full of plastic bags. Being a little nosy curious I went over to the home it was parked at and with the help of my good lady I asked what was in the bags. It turned out that they were coffee plants, there is a government scheme to try and encourage local farmers in to growing more varied types of crops instead of the normal sugarcane,cassava and rice,but it is recommended that they are grown under shade and so some of the local rubber farmers are trying to grow them under the shaded canopy of their rubber trees. It is a three year trial to see if the coffee plants can grow and eventually produce a good marketable bean......if not the the farmers will be re reimbursed there initial costs for the plants. Guard dog on full vigilance A couple of weeks later Great Uncle Da Tong bought some of the coffee plants also and planted them at his rubber farm. I am interested to see if they take and if they will turn into a healthy coffee plant which produces good beans. Coffea Arabica plants 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kids could not resist getting in the shot! Also very common in our area. Some one, some where here, or on photo forum posted a pic without rubber protection, that would be a noisy ride... not to mention not so good on the road! I could not find who or where it was posted... Internet connection has been frustratingly slow on and off for a couple of day! Here's another one... it's about 5 or 6 kms to get to the rice paddy, so left about an hour earlier than we did! At least they are quite easy to pop on and off! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
