Wheat 🌾 Harvesting Season

AssalamuAlaikum & Greetings Everyone!

It was a few days ago when the wheat 🌾 harvesting season started, and the farmer needed workers. The farmer's wheat is ripe and ready, and it is yet to be harvested. This season starts in the months of March and April, and the villagers actively participate in the wheat harvesting. This season lasts for about two months. When the wheat is cut and tied into bales, the threshing process begins with the thresher.

Eight to ten workers work with the thresher to harvest the wheat, each with their own responsibilities. Some of the workers carry the wheat bales on their heads and bring them to the thresher, and a man who stands near the thresher opens these bales and puts them in the thresher.

The thresher is operated with a tractor. The thresher separates the wheat straw and wheat grains. From where the wheat grains are coming out, a man The work of collecting is being carried out at a specific place

These two months are very important for the farmer because during these months, the weather fluctuates, sometimes there is a storm, due to which the harvested wheat crop can face severe damage. Apart from this, if it rains, it can also be delayed in the field. Therefore, as soon as the farmer gets a chance, he threshes his wheat crop. Since this thresher has arrived in the field a little late in the evening, it takes about two to two and a half hours to thresh one acre. It is already evening, and darkness has taken over.

Since there is no electricity in the fields and in the summer season, when you are afraid that the weather may change at any time, it is considered necessary to complete the work at night. Because there is no electricity in the fields, therefore, keeping this in mind, the tractor owners already arrange battery-operated lights, which are focused on the threshing machine, so that at night the wheat can be threshed. There should be no problem in weeding and shifting the grains to a specific place. In these pictures of mine, it can be seen that a few people are filling the wheat in sacks. If this is not done, a person may need to guard the place because the fields are a little far from the settlements, so there may be a risk of theft. Humans try to move their original to a safe place, for which they try their best. Due to continuous work, the workers also get tired, and they have to face thirst due to the heat. Due to heat and fatigue, after a short break of 15 to 20 minutes.

The wheat straw is used for animal feed, which is very easy to store. In the same field where the wheat is harvested, many are collected, and a layer of mud is placed on top of it so that it is protected from storms and rain. The farmers who harvest the animals use it as fodder for the whole year. Wheat can also be stored for a year. Some farmers save wheat and get flour from it. Bread is made from this flour, which is very tasty.

Some farmers sell their wheat in the market and generate revenue from it. But our misfortune is that the rate of wheat is very low. If we talk about the cost of it, then we have to sell wheat at a rate lower than the cost of wheat, which is not only causing losses to the farmer, but in the coming times, the farmer will try to reduce the cultivation of wheat. This may harm the country's economy. If the government provides cheap fertilizers, seeds, pesticides, and electricity to the farmer, the farmer can earn some profit from it.
