If you want to know who are these forgotten heroes are feel free to continue reading this article of mine and leave your comment below for us to know each other and also to know your insights about this topic. So don't be shy and leave your comment below my friends.

This topic is concerning everybody who are resisding in the society. No matter what the position , reach or poor , old or young and female or male. Yes you read it right , in this article I just want to remind everybody about the great sacrifices of these forgotten heroes to the country.

I think you can already guess who are these forgotten heroes are base on the lead image of this one.

If your guess are rice farmers then yes , you are absolutely correct. Arround of applause for that. What can you say about these rice farmers about their sacrifices? Do you know them well? Do you respect them? Do you value their contributions to the society? Do you agree if I will say that these forgotten heroes don't get too much attention from the society? Comment down below your answer and why?.

Those are the questions I want to ask to the crowd and I think starting here would be great because I know that there are real people here than in the outside or real world.

So back to the main topic of this one, I want to share what farmers are doing in ther rice fields, under the burning sun.

This afternoon we went to the rice field together with my father to put or scatter the partially grown rice grains in the rice seed beds. The planting season has begun and we need to prepare our rice seedlings. The seed bed must be wet or partially wet and not dry. This rice seed bed had been plowed by hand tractor to loosen the soil. Farmers plows the soil until it become like muddy in order for the partially grown rice will grow well and for the uprooting process will be easy.

In that image, you can see my father scattering the rice grains to the seed bed. As you can see the seed bed is wet and not dry. I tried this before and it's very difficult because you have to accurately scatter the rice grains equally in the seed bed or else they will stay in one place and will not grow well. The weight of the rice grain in the bucket also one factor why it's difficult.

These are the partially grown rice grains that my father scattering in the seed bed.

You see the preparation for the seed bed is difficult and also in putting the rice grains to the seed bed. Now you know that it is difficult from this one step only , how much more in planting the rice seedlings.

The outcome of this one will be this if the rice grains will start to develop some leaves. We prepared this one earlier because the rice grains that came from DA( Department of Agriculture) didn't grow so we need to change it, that's the rice grains we put today in the seed beds. Not all the rice grains that comes from the DA are good. Sometimes they didn't grow just like those we tried to grow last week.

While capturing the rice field that's been plowed , my dog (Dalisay) came in and boom. He just wants to take a pic.haha. He sat exactly at that point where my camera is.

So this is the one I want to show you in the image above. This rice field has been plowed few days ago. So if you're wondering why they hasn't plowed it yet thouroughly, the answer to that is for the weeds and the remaining rice straws will decay first before it will be plowed and be ready for planting.

As you can see, the view from the rice field is just awesome. I can stay there and build my house beside the rice fields to enjoy this amazing view.

These kind farmers are sacrifing for us their family and ofcourse for the society in order to maintain the rice supply in the market. They had been sacrificing for how many decades until now that the society are improving, being more advance. There are so many laws there that helped so many sectors of the society but I'm just wandering why there is not a single law for the sake of farmers especially for rice farmers.

If you didn't know yet the prize of rice in the market are just like the crypto market. Volatile to it's best and it's unfair for the hardworks of these farmers . The society is forgetting these kind, harworking and living heroes of our country. The prize has not been good this past years and even back then. Why is that? Because they didn't care much about these forgotten heroes of the country. They are too focus in advancing and these individuals are being left behind.

Are there any sector in the government who are responsible to buy the rice grains directly from the farmers? Yes , NFA, but there are too many process and those high standards are adding to the burden of these farmers. Because when you sell your harvested rice to them , there is a certain moisture content to be meet before they can buy your harvest and I see it too much for these farmers. They work hard already in growing those rice for the sake of rice supply for the country and yet they have to suffer like this.

Why they can't set the fixed price for the harvested rice of the farmers? I think it's because for the economy of the country but I think that it's too much. They don't deserve this kind of treatment.

And that is all I want to say for this article. I just hope that rice farmers and all kinds of farmers out there will be given the attention they need in order for the sector of Agriculture will also improve together with the other sector of the country. I just hope that one day , their blood and sweat will be appreciated. I hope that you respect these farmers and value them. Because if they will not work hard to grow rice grains there will be no rice to cook for your meal now.

What do you think about this matter? Just comment below and let's talk about it.

Have a great night folks. Thank you for reading this far and I hope that you get what I want to convey to you . Arigatou folks. and I want to thank you also my sponsors .
