Farmers of Bangladesh

Bangladesh is an agricultural country.Abut seventy pecent of our people are farmers.But most farmers do not have sufficent land to grow the food they need.So the majority of them are small farmers.

A farmer works in his field field from sunrise to sunset.He uses his old plough,hoe and other simple tools for preparing his lad.His bulls are often unable to draw the plough as he can notfeed them properly.He cannot often buy fertilizer for his land.However,his children and wife often help him with farmwork.Also sometimes some farmers in a village form a group and work jointly in their field by turn.

Our farmers usually lead a very poor and hard life.They are ill-fed,ill-clad and ill-nourished.They live in bad,broken houses.As they are always weak and ill,so are theirbulls and cows.They cannot produce good crops.They cannot educate their children.In a word,they are born poor,they live poor and they die poor.Over-population,illiteracy and natural calamities are some of the reasons for miserable life.

Farmers form the majority of our population.We must change their lot as early as possible.

Rainy Season In Bangladesh

The rainy season is the most important seaon in Bangladesh.It is the second season of the year.It comes just after summer.The Bengali monts of asher and Sravan are the rainy season.In this season the south-west moonsoon begins to blow.This monsoon carries rain-bearing clouds.When these clouds come in contact with the cloud air of the upperatmosphere,rain comes down as heavy downpour on our country.We call it the rainy season because of their downpour.

There are disadvantages of the rainy season. Fields and roads go under water.People can not walk from place to place.Heavy showers sometimes cause floods.Floods destroy crops.Country boats become the only means of transport.Sometimes fatal water-brone diseases like cholera,diarrhoea,etc. break out.

The rainy season has got some advantages too.Bangladesh is an agricultural coutry. The principal crops of Bangladesh are paddy and jute.Both these crops depend on the rain of this season.
Though it has some disadvantages,yet the rainy season is perhaps the most useful season of the year.
