Ranju Khandkar, from Gaibandha: Then the sweet afternoon sun fell on the golden paddy. The field farmer Rabiul Islam was cutting paddy with a light poach of sickle on that tree.
Rabiul said, this paddy plant will remain on the ground for a few days. After that, when it is completely dry, it will be taken to the owner's yard. After threshing and threshing there, half of it will go to the owner. The rest is in Rabiul's house.
In response to the question that how much does he raise by cultivating in this way?- This farmer said that once he took a few bighas of land 'Khaikhalasi' with some hard work. Later they were lost while going home. Now he cultivates two and a half bighas with barga. There is no other way.
I was talking to Rabiul in the crop field of Kumargari village in Palashbari upazila of Gaibandha. Mortgage of land in this area is called Khaikhalasi.
Rabiul said, now even in Amon season, the land has to be fertilized. Pesticides have to be given three times this time. So the cost is slightly higher. But the yield is quite good.
Not only Kumargari, but the entire country including North Bengal is now in the mood of cutting Aman. Karthik's culmination has begun, but the first week of this fragrance has fully begun.
Last Friday, Gaibandha went to Trimohini area of Sadar Upazila and saw three women cutting paddy in the crop field. Some are cutting, some are tying.
The conversation was with Swapna Begum. He said, now is the full harvest season. So Kamla's salary is a bit extra. But this crop can be harvested slowly. There is no rush like the Boro season. The male member of the house is busy with other work, so he is cutting paddy with other two women.
Talking to some farmers, it is known that now Kamla's wages are Tk 400-450 per person. It increases during the Boro season. However, in this season, many people will harvest slowly throughout the month without taking Kamla.
Shahidul Islam, a farmer of Dumurgacha village of Gobindganj upazila, said that he cultivated two bighas of land with barga. He cut the rice of one bigha land. After threshing the rice is now being boiled. It will be dried and rolled.
In most areas, including Gaibandha in the north, paddy is boiled to make rice. Now, besides harvesting paddy, there is also a buzz of rice boiling in the farmer's yard. The women of the household along with the Kishani of the house spend their busy time in threshing, threshing, boiling and drying of paddy.
Teacher Shahbaz Kabir's house in Maheshpur area of Palashbari. He gave away most of the land. He said that not much crop can be obtained with barga land. But due to his job, he does not have time to plant crops himself. So Barga gave. It also benefits the farmer to some extent.
This teacher said, fragrance is the harvest season. At this time eat full - Toitambur. Khet calls the farmer to harvest. So the farmer has no time at all. Harvesting is in full swing across Bengal.
