Horticulture Center Transfer and Crops Section Field Day | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

What a great morning it was at the Crop Section Field Day in Central Farm!  Central Farm is 1000 acres, bordered by Running W, the Belize River, and the Galen creek.   Their research and development center partner with BAHA, CARDI, PCB, and UB.

 

They had every kind of vegetable on display.  Who knew there were so many kinds of lettuce?  And tomatoes too.  The papaya were bigger than watermelons!  There were presentations on a wide range of subjects.  It looked like every seat was taken too, making for a great turnout.  

 

Orguidea Negra, the dance troupe from Benque Viejo del Carmen, performed numerous Mayan dances.  They really stole the show with the sacrificial one.  

 

Thanks go out to Messrs. Melanio Pech, Neville McAndrew, and Manuel Trujillo from the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries for having a wonderful presentation, providing superb food, and allowing us to come in and take pictures.
