My ancestors the Guarani were characterized as being very good farmers of the land, they cultivated all their food among them Cassava, also can be known as "cassava, cassava, tapioca, guacamot"

My passion for agriculture began as an 8-year-old child. At that time I lived in a rural suburb of large areas. My father and my grandparents were country people, they were very familiar with the origins of sowing.

The work of agriculture was to prepare the land for planting, we planted corn, manioc, squash, tomatoes, peppers, different vegetables and vegetables, today I want to share with you all the manual process that we carried out with my grandmother and my mother in planting cassava. This procedure is called an organic procedure because no fertilizer or pesticide is used. Only hangover or cow dung.

The next job is to fertilize the soil, fertilizer is mixed with the soil, here we use cow dung and hangover, the hangover is achieved in the forest, the leaves and sticks that fall to the ground are disseminated and Are mixed with the earth, this mixture of sticks, grasses and black soil is what we call hangover, others use garbage previously buried and scattered in the earth, once fertilized the surface, we have to rake the soil to leave the surface Smooth, as we see in the image.

Cassava is a plant that can not withstand the cold, for that reason it is necessary to plant after the cold passes, begins to sow the first days of September.
Once the stems are cut, we can begin to plant, make a small hole with the hand in the file and place one or two stalk of cassava, this is repeated every 50 centimeters until finishing the file. As we see in the video
