&gt;   Strange how the Kazahs (and perhaps the Russians) <br/>
 </span></blockquote>associate demarction borders with ploughing.<br/>
<br/>
this still puzzles me too<br/>
but again maybe it is just a blown idiom <br/>
like say for a fallow margin or a clearcut strip <br/>
or something like that<br/>
