Electricity : The much anticipated 3phase power has come to the farm at last. Several months of waiting and numerous trips to the EB office by Subbu with some disappointments have come to an end. The EB officials would also make trips around the villages meeting incumbent applicants to collect their tips.
The process is to fix new meter again (paid again), new board, fuses and so on... Each of that will be done in coming days. I guess now the additional wire in the post for 3 phase had been drawn out by the govt contractor form the transformer.
I told Subbu to employ a good contractor in the farm to finish the last mile. We need to pull fresh wire from the gate to the generator room and further to the tank. All will cost a lot of money and some efforts. The wires are very costly. We have decided to take it over head by installing few posts. This is better than burying inside the soil (underground). We will forget eventually and may lead to other problems. Being over head will allow periodic inspection, though it will be vulnarable to vagaries of the climate.
Hopefully when everything is done, we can connect back our texmo 3 HP pump and run it seamlessly. That means we can fill the white large cement tank to the full. This had never been filled properly since the time it was constructed. If power is drawn upto this tank, then we can also install baby motor to displace water for sprinkler and hopefully a rain fun in future. The windpump excess water also can converge into this tank. Ultimately we can then start reducing power usage and worry about agriculture.
Agriculture : I told subbu, let us atleast start growing something for our families instead of aimlessly attempting to grow crops commercially and get disappointed. I want him to send stuff by courier so that I can test all means of sending food over long distances. I told let us first start sending to our known families and friends. Atleast this is the trend I see with organic farmers using social media. He agreed.
