Looking across a section of hillside with several enclosures and associated (roughly rectilinear) areas of terraced cultivation (kal) visible nearby.
The Ingessana grew two harvests in the year, reaping in February and September, with the first crop restricted to the terraces next to the hill habitations and the second on the plains some two hours walk away.
Evans-Pritchard notes that the terrace crops had been reaped some weeks before he arrived in early November.

Evans-Pritchard notes that 'the Ingassana grow two harvests during the year, one which had been cut some weeks before I entered their country at the beginning of November, and a second which I was told would be gathered in about a month after I left Soda at the beginning of january.
They probably reap these crops in September and in Febrruary, but I am not certain about the date of the early (September) harvest.
The first crop is sown in small terraced plots adjoining the houses on the slopes or bases of the hills...the second harvest is grown in the plains, some two hours distance from the habitations, and consists of esh abyad and esh teqil, the former ripening before the latter.' [Chris Morton 3/2/2004]
