The situation of our farming is not good so far. Inadequate rainfall is causing a lot of problems. In last three days we do not have a single drop of rain. Still all the farmer have not lost the hope. This is what they were praying whole year to have good yield.
My situation is not different, while I have sowing done on one field, still other fields are not even ploughed. Yesterday, I notice a small crack in my field, and 5his Sunday, I took my men to mend it.
I have different fields for farming in the village, however they were in diferent location. While last time I showed you my field near the jungle, today I will share the update from field near to our village temple. The field is located just behind the temple. It was right there on the right with green patches of grass. The other on left has already been ploughed and left as it is.
The crack is open in the corner, which needed to be mend. Due to heavy rainfall few days ago causing the crack, which let lot of water flowed into my field. The first and foremost part in farming is to have balanced water level in soil. Too much water may affect the crop. So due overflowing of rainwater, my field is having a dampen look with water all over place. The inflow of water needed to stopped as it will create ruckus during later stage of farming too.
The field is not even ploughed and having too much water is not good sign for sowing seeds. To allow the soil to dry and protect from further over flowing of water into the field, it is important to mend the broken portion. It require some skill hand work to cut out the soil from the field and fill the empty spaces /gap in the boundary. My men didn't allow me to get dirty and he himself manages as it is a little one.
After few min, he manages to fix the space. Now there is no room left for water to get inside except from the sky. This is very important for the field too as more water for prolong3d time may destroy the soil fertility. When there is excess water then we cut out to let out the water to flow to adjacent field, and so on.
The field is still dampen. There is no water draining option. So we have to wait for few days to get the sowing done on this field too. Sowing of seeds require a little wetness. Let the water dry in sunlight before we can carry ahead the farming process. Being a farmer we are very hopefull to get the things done in right way.
I am grateful for the dedication and effort that farmers demonstrate every day to supply essential food for people worldwide. As I mentioned previously, thanks for sharing this snippets of the daily work you guys do, the post has broadened my perspective as I grew up in an urban upbringing. Your profession is undeniably challenging, and both you and your team should feel proud of the valuable work you undertake. I sincerely wish for favorable weather conditions this season, and may your harvest be bountiful! 😊
Thanks for the well wishes...and I am happy you understand the plight of farmers....hopefully the people also understand and recognized the effort put in by farmers.
Yeah definitely a tough job and should be well and truly appreciated by all! 👍
How are you dear friend @steemflow good day
You are lucky to have several fields, that allows you to have other advantages that others do not have, it is good that in your area it has rained a little, even if you have had to repair the crack caused by rainwater.
Beautiful photos, thank you very much for sharing with us.
have a prosperous week
We as a farmer always love farming fields. Infact we worship them ...because it allows to generate food for many people
@steemflow
Farming is most peaceful and satisfying work but challenges are unbearable too for many, that's why good percentage of new generations moved towards corporate jobs instead of farming.
Have a good one.
If everyone starts looking for corporate then who will produce crops? Do we then rely onto other countries to feed. Farming helps in balancing the economy ...it depends who all are ready to bear the challenges

It's good to see that there are other people who engage in farming ♥️.
As for us here who also engage in farming, we can't cultivate the land yet since there's no water from the irrigation so no rice to harvest this year.huhu..
Our farming depends upon rainfall too...and the woes continue. If everyone start thinking 9-5 job then how they get feeded. The economy will be shatteted
Looks like quite a bit of work. Hope you got everything sorted out.
It's sorted ...but hope rain falls soon to save the crops
Have a good harvest coming.
Farming sure is no easy task, it takes a lot of effort but once the fruits of your labor starts to show, it's definitely worth it. Goodluck and I hope you will have a fruitful harvest in the near future.
Fruit of my labor will be cherished by many as these paddy will go to the market God knows who will eat them..
kisan ki problem sirf kisan hi samjh sakta hai. asha karta hoon jald situation thik hogi aur khet beej ke liye taiyar ho jayenge
Its not easy for a common man to know how food reach to their plate...they just know eating
isliye log natural resources ki respact nahin karte, kash log ann ki keemat samjhe to sabke liye kitna acha ho
