First Steps in Village Mechanization

by George Macpherson

This is a practical manual for those working in remote agricultural communities where only limited hand-tools are available. It makes use of locally available materials, skills and hand-tools to create useful farm implements, more hand-tools and wheeled transport equipment such as wheelbarrows and handcarts. It also gives advice on training draft animals such as oxen and donkeys to pull weeding and cultivation equipment.
