We had a great day yesterday at Cimmyt (Obregon).We traveled around their trial site over the day and looked at various trials whilst different researchers talked us through what they are trying to achieve and what they are finding.
Over the day we visited around 7 different programs on the research station, to see the intricacy of the research was amazing and we all wrote notes furiously throughout the day.
One researcher alone had 2600 lines in his section of trials.
We had a fantastic day of what was for a wheat grower “A Paradise”
We had dinner at a local restaurant and I took the when in Mexico approach to dinning, I ordered the “Guts Tortillas” as well as a cactus dish that had a literal cactus leaves as the base. Both I can recommend.
Mexico is a fabulous place and the people we meet were brilliant.
We left Obregon this morning at 6am and drove to Hermosillo where we flew out of Mexico into LA (USA)where we are currently waiting to connect to Sacramento in around an hour or so.
We have only a week to go and I am looking forward to coming home to see my darlings. (Not the cows but rather Annie, Hannah, James and Grace)
The video is of a potatoe lifter,there was about 100 mexican workers in that field picking up the potatoes,these potatoes were for seed for next season.
