This crop season is coming to a close. This past week has been busy with trying to conclude all the interviews and measure the damage in the fields one more time. The trouble with the suspicious participant seems to have diminished. After our meeting with him and the chairman he told me there was no problem but maybe we could ask him questions later. This has me thinking that there is a problem and he is just tired of talking about it. However, his misgivings have not caused problems with any of the other participants and still when we see him we give him a friendly greeting. Perhaps he will change his mind about me eventually. I had a very pleasant experience with a new participant yesterday. Half of his crop has been destroyed by bush pigs this season, but rather than moping around, he has used his head to come up with clever ideas to dissuade them. He has fashioned an ingenious noisemaker using a post, a chain and some corrugated metal. It has worked marvelously well and I admire his creativity. His family has been extremely welcoming and accommodating.
