Wilgeens,

I think you have a very good business proposition there.

Why didn't I think of that?

I am, however, opposing to some parts of all the 3 points propositions of the operation you listed.

I think it would be much better to rent/lease the tools/equipments strictly for cash. I am against of getting paid in form of product from the harvest or taking posssession of the land or co-owning the land. This was and still is the biggest problem in land farming in Haiti.

The farmers lost their lands to a lot of people from the elite and others under that same system of arrangement you are proposing.

If a farmer cannot pay for the tool/equipment he/she rented you can either get the tool/equipment back and refuse to rent/lease to that person again.

The other thing I think you may try to do is to get guaranteed/secured rent/lease cost subsidized from the government.

For example, if a manchette cost $20 a month to rent, you can have the government pay you either $10 or $15 and the farmer pays the balance.

What do you thing about that idea?

Well, Sir Wilgeens, We finally agree on something. I think the problem with us Haitians when discussing issues, is that we tend to talk vaguely in a vacuum, if you will, without detail, clarity, precision, and cohesiveness. We don't give specif > >

Wilgeens Rosenberg, You see, I was not wrong after all with my posts because I was able to get you out of your comfort zone and open up a little bit and getting to know you. Just a little careful about too much of self-disclosure. You are really a > >

You also talking about shipping farming tools/equipments to farmers in Haiti so they can work the land and produce again, which I agree very much, but you did not give specifics on the kinda tools/equipments to ship. If you are referring to any tools > >

This is a business project I am working on and it is also an investment. I still need to get all the legal paper work done which is only going to cost me roughly $10,000. I am opening up a tool renting center which I hope to become nationwide throu > >

Wilgeens, I understand your logic very well. Long before I left Haiti I used to witness the same thing and every time I go to Haiti I keep witnessing the same thing. However, you also know how long it could take a farmer to plant, to harvest, and > >
