CORDERO/CARACAS, Venezuela (Reuters) - Twelve-year-old Moises Bracamonte knows how to prepare fertilizer and water the black beans and corn that his family grows in Venezuela’s western Tachira state. He says the most difficult part of agricultural work is “breaking the ground” to sow the seeds without a tractor or an ox.
“Why is it difficult with a pick? Because the pick is heavy, and you have to do a lot of picking if you have a lot of seeds,” he said in an interview in the living room of his house in Cordero, a town some 800 km (500 miles) southwest of Caracas.
