Caption: Date: 1967 Location: Biruwa Guthi, Parsa Description: Farmer using a moldboard plow. He is holding a stick in his left hand to control the bullocks. Several moldboard plows were purchased in Birganj and brought to the panchayat for demonstration purposes, as an alternative to the traditional (wood base - metal rod) plow used by the farmers to break up the ground in preparation for planting. The blade for the moldboard plows was made of soft steel, however, and wore out quickly. Keywords: Bob Nichols, Nepal Photo History Project, Peace Corp Photo History, agriculture, plowing, tilling
