The town of Ahenkro as seen from the Banda hills, view to the southeast. The first of the town' s cellular phone towers is visible on the south side of town. The eastern range of Banda hills is visible in the distance. At the photo' s bottom left, the angular edges of a tractor-plowed field are visible. Clear-cut fields like these were first established when Banda area farmers took up commercial tobacco farming during the 1980s and 1990s. Since tobacco farming was banned by the Banda Traditional Council in the early 2000s, these fields have been put to other types of cash cropping. Banda, June, 2009.
