The first is my work as an agricultural missionary \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emanaging a small farm on the outskirts of Managua. The second tells the stories of several \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eshort-term assignments with the U.S. government in Eastern Europe, Africa, South America \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand Central America. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI had already served in the Peace Corps in El Salvador and spoke Spanish fluently. We were in \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe second year of a drought; therefore, there was not much we could do regarding planting \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003egarden or grain crops to sell in the local market. The entire area had grass growing on it. We \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebought a milk cow and sold milk. We needed more animals to eat all the available grass. I was \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eworried about what the cows would eat during the dry season. With much difficulty, we tried to \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003egrow garden crops and sell milk. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeeding transportation, I flew to Panama and bought a motorcycle in the Canal Zone and drove \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eit up the Pan American highway to Managua. I had motor problems and had to sleep in the rain \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eforest until my cycle was repaired. We worked to develop the farm to help the local small \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efarmers learn best practices in production and marketing. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e H.
