Who makes a greater contribution to the country, the teacher or the farmer ?
This is a very interesting question indeed. It is something like asking which of the two eyes serves better. As there is nothing to chose between the two eyes, so too in the case of the teacher and the farmer. Each of them contributes to the welfare of the society. Now, let us see how each one serves the society. Let us take the case of the farmer first. The farmer feeds the country, with different kinds of foods. He is held in respect in literature, as others are dependent on him. This is really true. Whether the farmer works for his own selfish ends or for the market it is ultimately the society that gains.
The farmer's lot is a humble one. His difficulties are many. The place he works in is always dirty. He has to spend long hours tilling the soil, looking after his animals and tending to his vegetables, fruits and crops. He may not be an intellectual but he is a student of nature. He knows the weather conditions, the history of his plants and the diseases of his animals. He knows how to raise a good stock. He keeps the machinery of life and industry in the land going. He has to feed the industrial centers with raw materials like cotton, jute, wool and so on. In short, he is a mighty contributor to the welfare of the society.
The teacher contributes in an intellectual way. If food is essential, knowledge is even more vital. Without knowledge, man cannot progress. So the progress of a nation depends on her teachers. They carry the torch of knowledge and culture to inspire and educate the young of our country. In ancient societies the teacher was held in very high esteem and regard. They were given high positions in the ministry. The future of a nation depends on her teachers. Modern and advanced countries pay great attention to education which means their teachers do great help in nation building. So the teacher also serves the nation and if his contributions are not so tangible as that of the farmer nevertheless his contributions are really lasting and enduring 📝📝📝 Thanks for reading

I think both are somehow related to training. One of them sows the desired product in the soil and ensures that it develops, grows and yields products to harvest, the other fills empty minds with necessary information and enables them to be useful individuals for their families, communities and countries with this information in their future lives. It is sacred in both professions.
Yea 🤜🤛 Both are important because without the farmer the teacher cannot eat and without the teacher the farmer cannot have the knowledge of farming 🤣 Thanks for ur supports @foryoubtc09🙏
Both are very essential in the society. We need food to grow our immune system. The same way we need knowledge to be able to communicate and and be literate
👍👍 That's true talk. Thanks for the comment🖕🙏🙏
The two professions are very important.. Thanks for the distinction.. Nice article. Keep it up.

We don't need to actually compare both of them. We know struggling to be a farmer or either a teacher. They both contribute to the nation and to the people.
Yea👍👍 That's true ☝️ Thanks for coming around 🙏🏼🙏🏼
