RE: SEC | S20W4: "ROLE OF AGRICULTURE IN THE ECONOMY
It was so different when I was a child.
I cannot help but wonder where things went wrong?
It was so much different when I was younger. Can we blame technology, laziness, corrupt governments, or people that just don't care anymore?
Thanks for the visit and the nice comment.
The question is very interesting and difficult. There is no definite answer to it.. If we consider it in terms of our country, then the problems lie in the distant twenties of the last century. I think so. In the Soviet countryside, collective management of agriculture was imposed and strong individual farmers, who were called "kulak" (fist), were destroyed.
A collective form of management is like group sex, sometimes you can do nothing, but watch from the sidelines as others work. It's a joke, but it's true.
Someone believes that Nikita Khrushchev killed agriculture in the USSR with his transformations. Someone accuses Mikhail Gorbachev of destroying the Soviet system and opening the borders of the closed Soviet World, which began to receive more affordable and diverse cheap agricultural products. I hope you get the gist of it.

Umh.. very interesting.
In fact, you actually made me ponder about where it went wrong in my beloved country.
I wonder if the technology did not play an important role. Farming these days is much easier with technology. Farmers are more "spoiled." But, I might be wrong.
Thanks for the comment! ☕

Imagine products from your country are brought to our shops. And we are already used to them.
This is one of the major reasons people in this generation know longer venture into agriculture compared to the days of our parents when peasant farming was rampant.
For you to attract our generation and the youth of this days into agriculture, it has to be highly mechanized. No one wants to witness those stress our parents went through.
Even when the government try to help ease the burden of farming by providing soft loans and mechanized tools for farmers, some few individuals still keep them or sell them off for their personal gain.

Thank you for the visit and the comment.
I just know one thing, and that is that I take my hat off to farmers.
Gosh, it is not easy.
Yes, they might have technology that they can use these days, but on the other hand, they are sitting with all these weird and wonderful weather situations.
