Travelling through so much of rural India allowed us to witnessed the varied farming techniques which were dramatically different from region to region. In Badami we saw how the people used the traditional technique of utilising the strength of their sacred cows to plow the land and give them sustenance. Also in Badami some were lucky enough to have tractors to help with their farming duties. The amazing thing was that it seemed they were very appreciative that they had these amazing technological advancements. We saw tractor after tractor elaborately decorated with flowers and ribbons, it was their prize possession. There were times that I wondered how they could see out onto the roads.
When we travelled from Hampi to Goa we saw hundreds of acres of high tech windmill farms. I have never seen such large wind farms even in Ontario. It was striking. It just emphasised how strange and diverse India can be when it comes to the haves and the have nots!

Sacred cows
This was a common occurrence through Badami. I love the painted horns.

High Tech Wind farms
If you look deep into the picture you will find even more wind mills turning in the breeze.
