I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing. I have had a difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there. I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips?

Here in Nepal where there are now over 11,000 Chinese power tillers there have been many tillage experiments that have shown that these 2-Wheel Tractors, as we like to term them, in fact use 40% - 60% less diesel per hectare as compared to a 30 HP Indian tractor using cultivator or harrow (for primary and secondary tillage). They can do this precisely as Rajaratarala says, they simply scratch the surface with their rotovators down 2-3 inches only. There is a bit of evidence showing reduced yields or yidld stagnation in the neighboring north Indian rice-wheat systems with their 4WT deep plowing. There is less documentation of any yield reductions or stagnation under the various cropping systems of Bangladesh that have been using 2WTs, just scratching the surface, for almost two decades. And as nswnotill and millions of other notill farmers in the world can tell you even better yields are available with out any tillage at all under a conservation agriculture system.SE Justicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16244795825504876289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-216971465110756063.post-83072893872705457102009-11-19T12:36:36.977-08:002009-11-19T12:36:36.977-08:00Sir. this is an amazing post and excellent blog.
...Sir. this is an amazing post and excellent blog.<br /><br />There's a story about infrastructure in developing countries which I think is kind of apt in this case, if you don't mind. Two ministers, one from Nigeria and one from Bangladesh, are at a conference in Bangladesh. The Bangladeshi minister hosts the Nigerian in his palatial home. When the Nigerian complements the Bangladeshi on his home and asks how he can afford such a place on his modest public salary, the Bangladeshi minister moves to his window and points to a bridge and says, "see that bridge over there which the Chinese government helped us to build?" He then points to himself and says "10 percent."<br /><br />A year later, the Bangladeshi minister travels to Nigeria for a conference and the Nigerian Minister hosts the Bangladshi minister at his palacial estate. The Bangladeshi is awed by the grandeur of the Nigerian minister's home and asks how he can afford such a place on his public salary. The Nigerian minister then goes to his window and says "see that bridge over there?" The Bangladeshi minister says "what bridge?" The Nigerian Minister then points to himself, smiles, and says "100 percent."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-216971465110756063.post-25555739417536579272009-10-21T04:39:37.075-07:002009-10-21T04:39:37.075-07:00There are always big bucks$$$ to be made from such...There are always big bucks$$$ to be made from such projects.<br /><br />Have'nt you heard of gold-plated infrastructure in Nigeria?

I also accept you...I appreciate the comments above. I also accept your comments in the case of Bangladesh.<br /><br />In Sri Lanka's case we have now graduated from the 2wheel tractor phase, that broadly has not taken the majority of farmers who use it out of poverty. We already have a surplus of two wheeled tractors.<br /><br />In our case we have a shortage of labor, less than 1% of farmers use a plough with the tractor to turn the soil over (see articles below), most only use the Rotary to merely scratch the surface and not turn the soil, a must for optimum benefit from the soil. Less than 1% use the irrigation option as they use electric pumps at lower running cost. ( I am one of few who use it for pumping water- see articles below)<br /><br />Lately with the abysmal performance by farmers despite the heavy fertilizer subsidy, they have had to return the tractors they purchased on a lease as they are now unable to meet their payments. The country is full of lease returns gathering dust or shall I say corroding to the elements.<br /><br />This country is replete with white elephents, as we do not think through any project, I will upset our farmers if I say that the Bangladeshi farmers with the same tools in SL soil will do a better job. They have more of a hunger for results than us. They are not as blessed with so many alternatives of living as SL people have.Rajarataralahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12458863668453807819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-216971465110756063.post-25897780615347726132009-10-20T15:18:41.845-07:002009-10-20T15:18:41.845-07:00Sir,
I am afraid that you logic does not stand up....Sir,<br />I am afraid that you logic does not stand up.<br />I have been involved in a conservation farming project in Bangladesh with power tillers. there are >350,000 of them in Bangladesh and 80% of the crop land is now prepared using power tillers.<br />First they are only 10-20% of the capital cost of a normal 4 wheel tractor.<br />Second they are very manouverable in small fields,and 4 wheel tractors lose too much area for headlands.<br />Third they are very simple to operate, and can be repaired by local labour when they need maintenance. -Try that when a 4 wheel tractor breaks down!<br />Fourth, the motor can be used for other things like driving an irrigation pump or a rice thresher.<br />Go to Bangladesh a have a look.<br />Also go to Google and look up 'power tiller seed drill' and you will find the latest research.<br />Power tillers can be adapted well to conservation agriculture, and are a low capital way of getting into mechanised agriculture for the small farmers of South Asia.nswnotillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13903571645190947904noreply@blogger.com
