Yesterday, Tuesday, May 30, 2012, I finally remembered I could use my iPhone as a camera. This is really critical because the only computer I have with me is the iPad, which means I can't download my regular camera pictures. Since the students are gradually learning how to convert the computers in their dorms from Czech to English, I'll let them do the narrative until we get home and they can add their pictures too.
The first pictures I will post are from a 3,000 hectare farm known as Farm Dublovice. A few key points:
They raise corn, wheat, rye, sugar beats, soybeans and some alfalfa . They maintain herd of about 1500 head of Czech Red Spotted cattle. These are the first true dual purpose breed cattle I have seen being used for both milking and meat. Their entire operation was yet another amazing agricultural operation ending I the production of methane gas! To see more pictures visit the TTU School of Agriculture Facebook page!
