Shindand Agricultural Station

Here's another set of pictures from Shindand.  Hopefully these give a little more direction than anything I had previously posted.  I have hundreds of pictures of the area if anyone is interested.  Hit me up on facebook if you'd like more information.

These pictures are from the Shindand Agricultural Experiment Station, which is just off the runway on Shindand Airbase.  FB Thomas is also in the same secure perimeter.  The Agricultural Station exists as a USAID program to help the local economy.  They pay the managers, who are locals, and the crops are sold in the community to pay the incomes of all the other workers.  It really is amazing what has been accomplished, especially considering how dry the area is.
