Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 I am reminded of a statement by Paul Starkey on why people turn away from Ox power. He said the main reason is prestige. It is seen as more prestigious to have a tractor or a horse for farming etc. In cuba they made it prestigious to work oxen and rewarded those who were succesful at using oxen. Unless the Indian government re-appreciates the importance of working oxen then the rush towards tractors will continue unabated. On the political front it takes a strong and faithful leader to dismiss uneducated criticism of animal dependant farming. ys syam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
