THE LIFE OF A FARMER
Bangladesh is an agricultural country. The people who are engaged in agricultural work on their own small farms are called farmers. The farmers live in the village and work on their agricultural fields to grow paddy, wheat, pulses, onion, pepper, oil seeds, sugar cane etc. The life of a farmer is a tale of hardship. He has to work all day long. He tills the land and prepares it properly for sowing seeds of different crops. He pulls out the weeds from the land. The farmer has to work hard during the sowing and the harvesting seasons. He gets up early in the morning, eats some watered rice and goes to work in the fields. He works till dusk. After so much hardship when he finds his field full of crops, he becomes very happy. But drought, excessive rainfall, floods, cyclones and pests often destroy the crops. Then his sorrows know no bounds. He maintains his family with much difficulty and hardship. Generally, a farmer lives in poverty and dies poor. He cannot overcome his poor condition because of not adopting modern method of cultivation. As he is illiterate, he has a big family and finds it difficult to make both ends meet. The government should take steps to educate them and help them with good seed, fertilizer and better agricultural knowledge. His contribution towards the economy of the country, is great. It is the farmers who keep the wheels of economy of the country running by toiling hard in the field to grow paddy and other cereals to feed the nation.
