BAMYAN PROVINCE, Afghanistan - Saywed Khadin (left), a potato farmer, poses with his team of oxen and one of his hired hands on his farm northwest of the town of Bamyan June 16, 2012. The Bamyan Provincial Reconstruction Team has been labouring to replace these kinds of outdated farming techniques with mechanization (tractors) and other modern advancements. Potatoes have become the main cash crop for the province, contributing millions of dollars to its economy every year. ( Army photo by Sgt.
