The Essence of Farming: Day 1 in the farm.
Farming is an art that is as old as man. It is the process of tilling the ground, planting seeds, and other edible plants. It could also mean the act of rearing animals for the purpose of consumption. It's general knowledge that man needs food to survive, not just any random food, but food that contains all the nutrients in the right proportions, otherwise known as a balanced diet. These food does not fall from heaven; they are produced here on earth by persons in the agricultural industry called farmers.
Contemporarily, farming has gone beyond just tilling the soil to producing crops or rearing animals for the purpose of consumption. It also encompasses the processing, packaging, and distribution of farm products. As you can see, farming produces job opportunities. MYTHS ABOUT FARMING A lot persons across the globe consider farming to be a job for the downtrodden, a job for the uncivilized, and as such prefer white collar jobs over any job in the agricultural industry. That's not always the case. It is worthy of note to know that the richest man in Nigeria and Africa in general got a major stake of his wealth from agricultural products. He has companies all over Africa that process plants and animals into agricultural products such as sugar, milk, sea foods etc. Not just Dangote, a lot of billionaires out there, amassed their wealth from Agricultural Products, either raw, or processed. Moreover, The world is as functional as it is today because of the impact of agriculture on the economic system.
FARMING IN NIGERIA In Nigeria, we have two seasons, The Rainy Season and the Dry Season, as opposed to 4 seasons in Europe and America. Currently, it's raining over here and this is the best time to till the ground ahead of the next planting season.
ABOUT TODAY So, I and my siblings went to the farm to till the ground and make ridges; we started by tilling the ground. It was quite an arduous task because the farmland is so large.
But at the end of the day we did our best; we tilled the much we could before sunrise. We hope to continue and finish up as soon as possible. Here are the beautiful faces, whose efforts keeps me going. I want to specially thank my new sponsor @Talecharm . Thank you so much for considering me for your sponsorship, it really goes a long way in motivating and keeping me going. God bless you. APRIL 26, 2022.

That's a lovely farm Chief, I honestly also believed that farming was a job for the uncivilized but recently that mindset changed gradually. Without farmers, who would provide our raw foods and the likes? I'm glad you love and appreciate farming
Farming is a necessity, for the survival of all and sundry. If everybody leaves farming for other jobs out there, who's going to do it. The inflation would be unimaginable. Thanks for your contribution Dear Ella.
Wow. Farming is good especially when you reap what you sow.
