There are certain physical conditions that I encounter as a farmer that drain me mentally, causing me to begin to doubt the very chances of success. You might have found yourself in my shoes before, but there's still hope as long as there are still signs of green somewhere.
Still, seeds don't wait for the perfect conditions, they wait for the one planting them with every harmful of grain dropped into the dry earth, I was reminded that farming is more of faith than of the skill though you need your skill the faith to keep going in the face of adversities like this is what you need as a farmer to succeed.
I have had several experiences that have taught me as a farmer that the tough starts are not the end, they are simply the test before the growth of farming.
Irrigation would have been an ideal way out of this situation but the moment you begin to look at the distance to the closest water source which is a distance river, the possibility of the water from a drainage pipe been too much for the seedlings and the possibility that there will be the rainfall soon you become tempted to hold on a while and watch how things unfolds since the seedlings are still holding up well.
Whether the rain arrives late or the soil feels unyielding, the key is to keep planting. Because in farming, as in life, you can’t harvest what you never sowed.
