Farmer-to-Farmer Volunteers Bob Morris, Ross Penhallegon and Kate Penhallegon are sharing their expertise by holding Field Days at the “Akmal” Dehkan apricot farm and the “Qalai Surkh” Production Cooperative.
While in general Field Days are a great opportunity for local farmers to get hands on experience and training, this assignment has Bob, Ross and Kate focusing on fruit and vegetable processing; developing recipes for using apricots, tomatoes, cucumbers, water melons and melons at home; enhancing methods for pruning and forming apricot trees after the harvest; instruction on necessary tillage, fertilizing and watering techniques; as well as the specifics, principles, and advantages of drip irrigation to reduce watering costs.
CNFA HQ staff, Eric Sedlacek and Rachel Storey, who are currently traveling in Tajikistan, attended one of the Field Days in the Sughd Province at the “Qalai Surkh” Production Cooperative.

Clay Mason, an accomplished digital media professional, recently volunteered with a Kenyan rice cooperative in the Meru district to produce three videos which will serve a variety of purposes to further the mission and reach of the cooperative. The videos included a short commercial for potential bulk buyers, one to advertise and promote the services offered by the cooperative to its members, and a final 30 minute video exclusively on modern rice farmer techniques.
