Thermonator III: The crop guardian

Description: On April 2nd of 2013, we made a visit to Galeana, Nuevo León, where we realized an investigation in order to contact a farmer whom was specialized in growing potatoes and we interviewed him about his methods for caring his crops. This was because the potato is a crop which is affected by “gallina ciega”, this last the plague we want to attack. After a day, we get an appointment with Mr Ruiz Cudberto and he welcomed us to his house to perform a series of questions about his time as a farmer and his experience with this plague.

The reason we choose Galeana , Nuevo León is by its position as a leading state in potato production in 2009 with a total supply of 132,700 tons. In general, the agriculture in this state produces approximately a total of 15,876 million pesos, when 8,300 million are generated by Galeana, produced mainly by potato crops.
