This is the blog for today! It was a hard day today because we needed to concentrate on finishing our projects by lunch time. After lunch we presented our projects to our peers and a few of the locals working on the farm. We all had interesting projects and results and we hope to share them to you all when we come back to Kentucky!

We had to say good bye to our lab advisers today, Pinto and Ibrihim, but we all loved them and they will be greatly missed. It was a tiring day and I now know why some adults drink that much coffee (I had two cups to get through the day!) We will be leaving the farm tomorrow and I am excited to see what is in store for us!

I stayed back for a bit because five people thought it would be a good idea to me all their extra sausage. It was delicious and i do not regret these decisions.

My team Los Tigres Nobles had decided to do field experiments, this was a terrible idea. The southern sun beat down harshly as the cruel skies alternated between rain and unrelenting sun. It was hot . Mac got stung/bit by some thing while he was out in the field. My team though was not the worst off, we managed to get done rather quickly. K-Jab was out un
