230 km NW Villa Hayes by rd, Depo Pte Hayes, Paraguay Estancia "Buen Amigo" belongs to Dr Weiler of Tucuman. Rain locally by the Mbayarano - called "Mayeri" - & by Sr Estigarribia. Roughly 25,000 ha, 8000 head of cattle, 200 house, 40 people at helgers include; a group of Tencera Indians. Hard to say if hard to find out), but looks like superb Chaco and ha are cleared. Rest is marsh or swamp. The macho "siete punta" pasenear to house - 100' - 200' past water, 1.5' deep, little or no flow. Possibly elsewhere broken into ponds. Very little standing water away from the Paches & associated dikes - water is a problem during drought, when my to 200 cattle so have died. They do have an Australian tank. Also bad problems with Prosopis reclaiming cleared areas. They are experimenting w/ foreign grass of several kinds (pangola, buffalo, Dechant Bermuda, etc) but so far plants have been primarily for seed & usually no more than 10 or 15 ha (not sure whether this includes projected planting). None of that which I was shown looked particular happy. They have two little orch citrus, even sweet oranges, & have mango, papaya's, & guavas. These grow with minimal help - apparently a small amt of organics matter (cow droppings & leaves) is mixed
