Kenyan Cuisinart
Originally uploaded by gaikokujinkyofusho.
This contraption is a Kenyan Cuisinart for livestock fodder. They feed mainly Napier grass (but I saw them also feeding cornstalks and banana leaves) into the long end and spin the fan like blade to chop up the fodder. I was impressed that they understood the value of increasing the surface area of the fodder for the animals, now if they would only look into turning their corn into silage instead of drying it out (fortunately they feed the grass and banana leaves fresh so comparatively little nutrition is lost)
