My Monday and I and what I did.
INTRODUCTION
General view of farming as a career
Farming before was seen as things for the poor. The rich and the middle classes necgleted just because of how the regarded it. Looking at 2021 that is when the heat of covid19 was felt a lot people including the rich, the middle classes
and the poor embressed in the cultivation of land for a meaningful living. Farming which was before sidelined now become a thing for all.
taking a look at my little farm on the picture
Today, Immediately I was done with the little morning chores, since it was on my mind to work on my farmland, clearing weeds and making sure my Crops are producing well. I took my weeding hoe to my farm as reflected on the picture since farming work put food on the table. When I entered the farmland, I noticed that the maize, the cassava vegetables and the melons etc were all outgrown with weeds. In other to have a good harvest in the coming season I had to practically weeded the farmland to keep fit my Crops.
my observations today in the farm
After I had weeded and cleared every place on the farm. I noticed termit destructions. on the root of maize and the vegetables. Termit had done destructions on which had made my effort somehow appeard as an effort in futility.
also noticed damage on part of bush animals opening the soil and devastated the cassava and even the melon. It's rather very painful which measures were taken by me to curb the menace.
aftermath of not farming
Some effects of being a lazy man or woman.

(2)-you maybe dwelling in a live of self starvation if not careful.
(3)-if you stay hungry even a munite, talkless a month, your health state will be deteriorated

It is good one engages his or her hands in farming because it puts food 100% on the table.
importance of farming
(a)- commercial farming provides for the nation.
(b)-subsistence farming produce food for the farmily.
