Solution
During a visit to a nearby village, I observed the cultivation of seasonal crops and spoke to the local farmers. They explained that growing crops requires a step-by-step process. First, they prepare the soil by ploughing the field with tractors and adding manure to make it fertile. Next is sowing, where high-quality seeds are carefully planted into the ground using seed drills. After that, they look after the crop by watering the fields through irrigation channels, removing wild weeds, and spraying pesticides to protect the plants from bugs. Finally, when the crops are fully ripe, the farmers harvest the plants, thresh the grain, and pack it into bags to sell in the market.
