Awesome video, all you lovely people in south asia need to stay away from the seeds the west are pushing on you, there genetically modified to grow with pesticides in their flesh, worse than & much more dangerous than actuall pesticides. This is the way to grow, I live in colorado, but given our economy I'm gona start farming, even though our growing season is short. Gona focus on wheat, potatos, and barley. Real agriculture!
