| A Farmer |
An ideal farmer is a very important person in our society but his condition beggars description. Generally, a farmer is a poor man. He lives hand to mouth. His house is made of waved iron sheets or straws. Most often he has no land of his own. So, he cultivates the land of others on the basis of sharing the crop between him and land-owner. He gets up very early in the morning and takes a little breakfast. He goes to his field for work. He cultivates and prepares his land with simple handmade tools. Sometimes he is too busy that he cannot make time to go home for the midday meal. he earns his livelihood by the sweat of his brow. He has both pleasure and pains in his life. He gets pleasures when he has a good harvest. But he gets pains when his crops are destroyed by droughts, floods or cyclones. Again, he does not get proper price ofhis goods whern he sells them. We know that ours is an agricultural country. More than 80% people are directly or indirectly engaged in agriculture. Our economy is mostly dependent on agriculture. So, to promote the development of national economy, the farmers should be helped with agricultural subsidies by the government.
