Hug a Farmer

Farmers are the most important people who contribute in each and everyone's life.We buy food, cotton cloths etc from shops which are produced by the farmers. Farmers contribute a lot in a countries economy. Most of the developed countries have a very strong agriculture background. Good farming helps the country to be self sufficient. I would like to write about my uncle, who is a farmer from my native place in Kerala, India. His name is Madambath Muralidharan. My grandfather was a farmer and my uncle continued his legacy. My father was not interested in farming, so he migrated to Mumbai for work. My dad always told me that my uncle was very passionate about farming. He used to accompany my grandfather from his childhood days to the farm and he was very curious about small details. He has been a farmer for last 50 years.His farming includes horticulture and animal husbandry. He produces banana,coconut and some vegetables like bitter gourd, long beans, yellow and white pumpkin
