On June 26th, 2016 the container arrived at the final delivery point in Burkina Faso. It took 76 days to ship the container from Minnesota to deep into the interior or West Africa. This project took 19 months from conception to delivery. Its remarkable to think what we have accomplished, and our thanks to everyone for their support on this project. Mark and Louis were on hand to help and witness the exciting occasion. Once they are settled we’ll have another update on the ordeal unloading the container and getting the tractor up and going.. it was far from routine. Today the real work starts, and with Mark remaining with the farmers in Burkina Faso for 2 months, we are confident they will get the proper training to put this machinery to good use.
