Life of a Farmer

 A farmer is a person who works hard to bring food to our table. Any person who works on his own or other people's field is known as a farmer. In our country, most of the farmer lives from hand to mouth. There was a golden time when our farmers were solvent. But now agricultural works pay less than other professions. So many people now have changed their professions. Still, a majority of our population are engaged in agricultural works. Most of the farmers live in the village. In general, they live in a mud house. A farmer's work requires a lot of time and strength. He has to wake up when the sun rises and have to work till the sunset. During the season of harvest, he even has to work at night. Sometimes his wife and children also help him in his work. If he works at other people's land, then he receives a daily wage for his work and a portion of the crops that he grows. the farmers who own a piece of land earn their livelihood by selling crops at the market. However, the money he earns is not enough to live a decent life. Even though they are in a noble profession still they are exploited by the landowners and the stockers and merchants. The farmers also hardly get the fair price of the crops they grow. His life is a story of suffering and pain. He hardly could fulfill the basic needs of his family members. They are also the primary victim of natural calamities like floods or drought. However, our government is taking lots of initiatives to improve their life. A specialized bank, The Agriculture Bank has been formed to provide loans to farmers without interest. All the government banks and some private banks also provide agricultural loans to farmers. The government also provides seeds, pesticides to farmers. Different agriculture-friendly policies have taken from time to time to help the farmers. For instance, the government sometimes purchases directly from the farmers so that they get the just price. At present, many educated people are also getting engaged in farming and agricultural works. So we can hope that in future, the golden days of farmers will come back again.
