The Life of a Farmer

A person who does the work of farming is known as a farmer. A farmer is a common figure in our country. He has a little land, a pair of bullocks (বলদগুলো) and some hand-made tools. Most of the farmers of our country have no land. They cultivate other lands. A farmer generally gets up early in the morning and goes to his land. He ploughs his land, sows the seeds and weeds out. He comes home at noon. Then he eats his meals, takes rest and again goes to the field. He works hard in the field from morning till evening. He gets little crops. He does not know how to plough his land scientifically. He cannot buy seeds and fertilizer for lack of money. As a result, he cannot produce more food for himself. He has both pleasures and pains. If he gets a good harvest (ফসল), his face looks happy. On the other hand, if crops are not grown well, his suffering knows no bounds. Actually, the life of a farmer is very miserable (করুণ). Sorrows and sufferings are his constant companions. He does not know what is joy and happiness. He leads a very simple life. But he is an asset of our country. He grows crops for country. So, our government should give the farmers financial help or loan.
