My village in ten pics: Ten pictures of agricultural work.

Assalamu Alaikum,
Our village is very beautiful, and even more beautiful, the people of the village are involved in each other and are socially responsible. The main work of the village people is agriculture. Today I will share with you 10 photographs of the agricultural work of our village and other related work. Each image is my own property and was captured while working myself.

Freshly picked nuts from the ground what3word Location

One of the crops of our agriculture is almonds. For the cultivation of almonds, the seeds are sown in February and the farmer has to take care and tend to them for more than 4 months to get the desired crop. There is no guarantee that this crop will be harvested with just care and hard work. To harvest the crop properly, one also has to depend on the weather. At the time of harvesting almonds, the rainy season arrives in June and July, and there is a possibility that the almond fields will be submerged in the rain and the harvested almonds will be spoiled if they cannot dry due to adverse weather conditions. I have these almonds in my hands, even after 4 months of hard work, I am trying to harvest them by fighting the adverse weather conditions.

Preparations to move water from flooded fields to higher ground what3word Location

This time the weather was not very favorable for us. Initially, the almond fields were flooded with rainwater, due to which we had to hire workers with extra money and at the same time the speed of work slowed down. We used to dry the almond fields in the sun, but this time it is no longer possible because there is water in the field. We have to move the almonds from the field to higher ground ourselves and with workers. It is very difficult because there is light water in the field, a lot of soil sticks to the almonds, which becomes heavy.

Removing the soil from the nuts what3word Location

After harvesting the nuts, we have to work the hardest. These nuts have to be dried for three days if there is proper sunlight. Although it is difficult to work in the sun, we expect the highest temperature at that time. We have to dry them regularly in the sun and remove the soil from the almond trees every day. The picture shows how much hard work it is.

Drink water to replenish dehydration in the hot sun what3word Location

Working in the sun causes a lot of sweat, so we always have saline and water with us, we have to drink this saline water in the field during work. We become strict with ourselves to take advantage of the favorable weather at this time.

Almond leaves are good for composting fertilizer and animal feed. what3word Location

The upper part of the almond tree is good for animal feed and can be decomposed to make good compost. In addition to drying the almonds, we bring these almond leaves home to use some as cow feed and the rest to make compost. Two tasks are done at the same time and the land is cleared.

Use of engines for transportation what3word Location

After drying the nuts, it is time to take the desired harvest home. We use engine-powered vehicles to do more work quickly and in less time. Skilled drivers are needed to transport the vehicles from the field because there are no roads here and they have to be carried on completely soft soil.

Covered with tarpaulin to ensure safe arrival what3word Location

After loading the car, we cover it with tarpaulin so that the nuts do not fall in the car's shake. This protects our crop from dumping. The driver from below is giving instructions on how to distribute it properly. We have to pick the nuts that are separated from the tree and have nutritious seeds.

Artificial irrigation to solve water crisis what3word Location

It is time to plant rice seedlings in the almond fields. At the time of planting them, there was a drought in the sky, but although there is rainwater in the lowlands, we have to water the highlands with diesel-powered engines. That is why I always say that in agriculture, as hard work and care are needed, favorable weather is also very important. During the rainy season, this land is cultivated and planted with rainwater, and artificial irrigation is being provided there.

Preparing the land for planting what3word Location

We use a power tiller for land cultivation. We are cultivating the land after watering it with a machine. Rice seedlings will be planted in the prepared land by making a good mud. However, the land is not cultivated in one day. After cultivating this land for the first two days or more, rest is given to the grass in the land to rot.

---

Finally planting rice seedlings what3word Location

Later, rice seedlings are being planted in that land. Although we do all the work before planting rice seedlings ourselves, we need workers to plant the seedlings. We give the workers a contract according to the amount of land for planting seedlings, and they lift the seedlings from our land and sow them in the prepared land. After harvesting one crop, sowing another crop and taking care of that crop is the main goal of farmers like us.
