#1 I was there 14 years ago and the worms were a problem then. Spectacular place BTW.

#2 Perhaps it's time for the farmers to consider switching over to wheat, which doesn't need swampy conditions, and I think is more nutritious anyway, even if it isn't traditional.

#4 They don't need to grow anything but earthworms. An 18 inch earthworm would be worth a couple of dollars in North Florida about right now. Probably pay to air freight them in.

#5 18 inches worms would provide a lot more protein than wheat, and it tastes like chicken, I'm told.

#6 IIRC, dog food is made from earthworms, also. That could be a rather profitable sideline to their other farming income.

#9 Years ago, an agricultural station on Mindanoa, the Rural Life Center, discovered that a local shrub, the ipil-ipil, made a good hedge for terraces. The farmers didn't have to use wood to shore up the terraces.

Now would be a good time to look that plan up.
