Life is good in Bamyan province

Saywed Khadin, a potato farmer, has a laugh with members of the Bamyan Provinical Reconstruction Team in one of his potato fields, June 16, 2012. Potatoes have become the main cash crop for farmers in Bamyan province - thanks in large part to efforts by the Bamyan PRT. Afghan potatoes are considered superior throughout the Middle East and can fetch a premium price per pound.
