Solution

Farmers are the precious gem for the entire world. Why? Because of them only we are getting enough food to eat. Without them sufficient food will not be available. It is not that easy to get the food items that we eat. There are many processes and risk involved.

After deciding what to grow, farmers often till the land by loosening the soil and mixing in fertilizers, which are nutrient rich. Then, they sow seeds or plant seedlings. When the crops are growing, farmers must water (or rely on rainfall), weed and kill crop pests. Once the crops are mature, the farmer will harvest them. A variety of food and non-food crops are grown in different parts of the country depending upon the variations in soil, climate and cultivation practices.
