Portrait of farmer Celso Torrez González, 55, in a newly planted cornfield in a field with stubble that provides ground cover and prevents runoff during winter because it is on a hillside. It’s a 9.8 acre plot is highly diversified and is located in El Durazno Canton, San Pedro Puxtla, Ahuachapán. “I have learned how to pay. I use the 4 R. I do not lose sight of the ground cover, the use of stubble, and I do not use very strong chemicals. I have sincerely seen the great change that I have had. The soil is very loose, it is not difficult for me to sow, it is soft. 4 years ago my plot was not like that. It was quite run down. It did not give me good production. From 4 years ago to here it has been of great benefit to me. I have had good earnings ”.
