Yes prices are high and it is a good sign,,But we still have the same problem that we have faced for years...Getting dependable people to work...Working with rubber is hard work and long hours...It starts in the middle of the night and goes on until the afternoon...Even paying them 40%, it is still hard to find anyone that wants to work every day...Yes, when they need money, they are anxious to work for one or two days...

I know exactly what you mean stoneman
that is why we are trying to mechanize as much as possible on the farm.
We are building at the moment a semi automatic tapioca planter
and the plans are ready to built a tapioca harvester.
we try to mechanize as much as possible because we have the same problems you mentioned with our workers... :? :?

Stoneman, you might want to look at driving some pipe into the ground around the trees and letting the water drip down to the roots. That way the water goes direct to the roots rather than trying to soak from the surface. Would help with water conservation with less evaporation.
