As the daughter of a farmer, I know the hard work of my father that always working in the rice field every sunny or rainy day to support our family and support my sister's education.
I feel pity for papa that he needs to have credit finances to have an operation working in the rice fields using a tractor that needs to rent to clean the fields after the harvest of the rice. Papa financially needed a budget for the sustenance of the rice seedlings after planted. Including pesticides and fertilizers that would be used after planted rice seedlings
I also give papa some finances needed but it is still not enough for the coming 2-3 months raising a good grain of rice until harvest time.
Farmers herein our place have a group called "FARMERS ASSOCIATION" this group helping farmers to have free fertilizer, but not all farmers are given free fertilizer due to the process and requirements needed. Some of them don't have time to process everything cause they are so busy working in the fields. No exemption all farmers need to process and give all the requirements needed mandatory present if ever they have a meeting.
Farmers/planters anywhere in your country or land are doing their duty for all of the consumers to have a good meal in every table in every home.
These photos showing farmers are planting seedlings in the rice fields, even it is hard for them to work all day under the sun or in the rain they still manage to stay longer to finish their job. Seeing them when taking photos I realized how they work hard for their own family that they have especially at this pandemic time. But still, they have a smile on their faces. After I took the photos they wave back at me and I do the same and thank them cause they say ok when I ask them (in a shouting way so they can hear me from afar) if I can photograph them. ☺Some of them are my neighbors.
Singing, joking/laughing while working on the rice fields it is nice to see them enjoying a simple life as farmers and contented of what work they have.
For some reasons that I don't why other people do not pay attention to the local rice products in their own land, instead, they pay more attention to the imported rice products in another country thats why local farmers having a hard time about selling a low price of harvested rice in the market but farmers have no choice. Hope consumers will realize how farmers struggling to raise a good rice grain.
During harvest, farmers give up meals at their table so we can have our meals at ours. And if you ate today thank farmers for their hard work.

It is heartbreaking that farmers who toil so that majority of the people will have food to eat, are under appreciated and never make what they should because of lack of support. I salute those who, like your papa, continue to take on the job of helping feed our people, even when his efforts are not fairly compensated.
