Farmer story: A land

For a farmer his land is everything for him . The word "farmer" meaning in itself is a person who is the owner of a farm . Land for farming is a farmer's biggest strength . The entire process ,from crop selection to growing and at last harvesting ,they need a fertile land .  


Most of us ,when we talk about  'What work our ancestors did?' ,the answer would be farming or agricultural work. Think that! why we moved to do other jobs instead of continuing that work?

There are plenty of reasons behind this , such as investments , high risk of destruction due to weather changes ,the attack of insects and many more . And what could be most heart breaking for a farmer than  witnessing  an evergreen farm turn into a barren land. Thus leading them to quit this profession.

    किसान के लिए दो शब्द..
    मिट्टी ही है घर जिनका मिट्टी ही अभिमान है,
    मिट्टी से जुड़े रहना ही समझें अपनी शान है,
    खेत,फसल,हल,बैल व बारिश साथी के दम पर,
    जो दुनिया का पालन करे धरती पुत्र किसान है ।।
