What Lies Beneath??

Farmers in a third world countries like Philippines and developed countries like the China have several things in common. Both groups are interested to have good production and high yield. They both want to produce more of what they raise since there is scarcity of rice around the world. Similarly, they want to make a living out of their farming activities. Their enemies are storms, floods, droughts, pests and plant diseases. On the other hand, they also differ in so many ways. Chinese farmers are involved in modern methods of agriculture. In addition, they accept change readily. They are not afraid of trying anything that comes their way as long as it promises high yield. In contrast, Filipino farmers are slow to accept changes. They believe that by planting rice seedlings, they can be assured of a good harvest. Thus, they have no need for fertilizers. That’s why one really shouldn’t wonder that Filipino farmers are less progressive than the Chinese. However, with the influence of new graduates from the agricultural scientific is making a breakthrough.
