Thomas' Field Guide to Burkina Farming
In daylight, Rambo is almost a ghost town. The rains have come, washing away all thoughts but cultivation, pure subsistence farming. Thus, I have been out in the fields toiling away with my neighbors, planting peanuts, corn, millet and the eggplants cousin (less tasty cousin at that). Having earned the callouses on my palms and the ache in my back, I thought it would be nice to put together a field guide for all those interesting in farming here in Burkina.

a little about burkina faso
Burkina Faso (formerly Upper Volta) achieved independence from France in 1960. Repeated military coups during the 1970s and 1980s were followed by multiparty elections in the early 1990s. Current President Blaise COMPAORE came to power in a 1987 military coup and has won every election since then.
Burkina Faso's high population density and limited natural resources result in poor economic prospects for the majority of its citizens. Recent unrest in Cote d'Ivoire and northern Ghana has hindered the ability of several hundred thousand seasonal Burkinabe farm workers to find employment in neighboring countries.
Location:
Western Africa, north of Ghana
Geographic coordinates:
13 00 N, 2 00 W
Area:
total: 274,200 sq km land: 273,800 sq km water: 400 sq km
