Plowing with oxen in Ethiopia

Men plow fields near Waliso in southern Ethiopia with teams of oxen. Using plows that are nearly timeless they are plowing fields that were planted to teff. These are not the more modern mouldboard plows that actually roll the soil over, but just a sort of spike that breaks the ground up.

The men plowing were: Ayele Terefe in the orange shirt with the stick, and Teshome Negese with the red and white shirt.
