Here, traditional rice cultivation systems are still easy to find and are likely still being practiced everywhere. Even if many agricultural equipment goods with all their sophistication are available nowadays, farmers still operate on their fields with improvised tools. In my opinion, this is the wealth of civilizational values in each region that has been passed down from generation to generation, in this case in agriculture.
In this regard, today I will again be presented with a view against the background of the activities of farmers in a village who still use the old way of cultivating their fields.
The picture above shows a stretch of rice fields that have entered the planting season. One of the preparations for this planting season is to ensure soil fertility because they have sown the rice seeds, and in the next few weeks they will enter the planting season.
So, the moments of a farmer working on his farmland are the main theme of this post, and I submitted it for the daily #monomad challenge hosted by .
Let's take a moment to look at some of my shots below:
This is how the farmers here cultivate the land in their fields. Using both feet and resting on a pair of sticks, they stomped the ground. This step is done after the entire land surface is plowed first.
This is one proof of traditional values: whatever has been passed down remains a choice that continues to animate them, and age is not a problem for them.
The narrative in this piece was partially derived on interviews with local farmers.
Bravo to all traditional farmers, wherever they are. We all are aware of the historical trajectory thanks to them and the numerous working techniques and instruments. Thanks for taking the time. Hopefully useful and entertained of course.
