Some people say, ” if it ain’t broke …  then don’t try to fix it! ” and that statement certainly applies very well to the way people think around Oaxaca.  Some of the pictures below show how people still use oxen to plow their fields, Dragging the hand carved plow, which is cut from a log. While this system is a bit slow, it’s still very effective and the majority of  the people still use this method … plowing and farming the same way they have done so for hundreds of years.It’s always a lot of fun to see it in person and occasionally, there is a new young pair of bulls to be trained … so be prepared to get your hands dirty and get some on-the-job training!
