Solution
I met a skilled tradesman who makes and repairs farmers’ tools such as ploughs, sickles, axes, hoes and spades. I learned that many people help farmers in their work.
- Blacksmith – Makes and repairs iron tools used in farming.
- Carpenter – Makes wooden parts of ploughs, carts and other farm implements.
- Agricultural labourers – Help in sowing, weeding, harvesting and other fieldwork.
- Tractor and machinery operators – Help in ploughing, sowing and harvesting with machines.
- Mechanics – Repair tractors, pumps and other agricultural machinery.
- Seed and fertiliser sellers – Supply seeds, fertilisers, pesticides and other farm inputs.
- Irrigation workers and pump technicians – Help provide water to the fields.
- Veterinary doctors – Take care of cattle and other farm animals.
- Transporters – Carry crops and farm products to markets and storage centres.
- Traders and shopkeepers – Purchase and sell agricultural produce.
Thus, farming depends on the work and cooperation of many skilled people.
