Dr. Ranade, Michael, The Guru

Now down to business - here's the group I traveled with, and the reason for coming. Dr. Ranade heads the consulting company that supports coffee farmers (and other crops) who want to improve their crop. They make targeted, customized micro-nutrient fertilizer to improve plant health. Michael helps to market the coffee these farms in the "group" produce under the Karnataka Coffee Plantations name, and the Guru, well, he's just the Guru! Everyone in India has a Guru. I was very interested in our hosts, their structure, their purpose ... so through the course of these photos it will become clear.
