Visit a farm near your area. Observe and talk to the people there. Write a report.
उत्तर
One of my friends has a farm on the outskirts of the city. There is a big house at one edge of the farm. The house has a big courtyard. There is a tractor, a threshing machine, and many small farm types of equipment kept outside the house. There are 5-6 people who live permanently at my friend’s farm.
They have been working on this farm for the last many years. At present, the whole farm is full of mustard crops. It presents a beautiful landscape of yellow and green colors. There is a small orchard also on the farm. It has trees of many fruits like mango, guava, pomegranate, lemon, etc. I can also see many packets of synthetic fertilizers kept in the farmhouse. There are some jars of insecticides kept in a comer.
