Have spent the last few days in Mexico and have quite enjoyed it. Most of our activities have been based around the CIMMYT organistaion (International wheat and corn breeding) in Obregon and Mexico city. The boys that dont grow crops are over it but for the 5 grain growers we have seen and learnt a lot.
CIMMYT have over 200ha of trials. Most of the worlds wheats are bred here and then adapted to other countries.
Transport is casual in Mexico, but you do have to wear a seat belt if you are sitting in the front. Saw lots of funny things and managed to catch this one with the camera. I think motorbike helmets and baby seats are optional too.
Grazing goats in the 'long paddock' beside the road. They have to keep them off the lucerne in the background.
