Assalamualaikum today I will share the experience of a farmer, this post I will share on the Agro team to participate in a contest created by the admin steem-Agro.
A farmer is a profession that is farming, both private land and owned by full rights in running successful farmer cultivation is very helpful for everyone in the village and outside the village and can also help in a country because of farmers.
This is because farmers provide a means of living for the community in the form of food which of course makes us survive. For example, staple foods in Indonesia, namely rice.
To become a successful farmer is not very easy, we can learn from the stories of successful farmers from scratch, farmers who have successfully cultivated plants that are very struggling to get an abundant presence.
However, behind the presence of farmers, people must feel the loss of the rice harvest, it should be a time full of happiness for the community, but in reality farmers actually feel the increasing difficulties felt by residents. Why is that because the price of grain that falls during the harvest season, coupled with the high price of fertilizers and medicines used in the agricultural process, makes it difficult for many aspects of farmers to obtain adequate and sufficient profits.
In fact, some farmers claim to have to spend more than the income they get. According to village farmers, one of the main causes of this problem is the lack of supervision of rice and fertilizer distribution managed by the government. The price of rice is very fluctuating, often falling at harvest time, while the price of agricultural materials needed by farmers such as fertilizers and medicines is very high. It is not uncommon for farmers to have to sell their rice at very low prices because they do not have direct access to a wider market to the outside network. This increasing economic burden is getting heavier because there are factors caused by irresponsible individuals and also the lack of being overwhelmed by farmers such as unfavorable weather, getting floods and getting water shortages due to not meeting the needs of the community by the government, namely making irrigation. Here I will speak out to remind the government in Aceh to develop a wider irrigation system so that people are happy to work and easy to get water. This is the story of the many expenses of the farming community, especially in Aceh and also outside Aceh.
