indonesian farmer's story
farmers
I took this story from my own life.
My name is nurul treatise was born in the city of probolinggo in 2000 and consists of 2 brothers I was born from a fairly simple family.
At the age of 7 years I have felt how hard how to make money because I am not among people are.
At first I knew it was difficult to make money when I helped my parents to farm. Because my parents were farmers and the majority of probolinggo people were farmers/palawija.
one day I helped my parents and wanted to know what it was like to earn money. I went downstairs with my father and mother to take care of or see the development of my father's farm. Here for his farm, namely onion farmers father ju has been 10 years dabbling in the world of onion farming can be said to be quite proficient for 10 years experience.
In 2007 my father and I started growing onions and daily activities from 02.00 am until the sunrise it began to water the onions in medicinal and other treatments. And it is done every day until the estimated 50 new days of harvest. The beginning of the first onion planting the kluargaku fine. This is the beginning of the story where the sorrow of a new life begins.
On that day my father's harvest said" Let's have time for the harvest "
"That's what I'm waiting for a minute, my dad took a shower"
On that day I was so happy that the wish I had been trying to find out for 50 days was coming true.
After the harvest my father called the onion merchant "helo I suhan want to sell this onion "oh yes sir I will be there soon "
After the merchant came downstairs and from the bargaining and so he bought for 50,000 Rp per Kg
And the results of my father's rice field harvest reached 4 tons where my father received the harvest about 200 million wah.
My curiosity has begun to get me happy it feels the results of hard work for 50 days have paid off.
This is the beginning of the success of this family.
When I count the money
At a time when the family's economy is quite enough I think there dad began the ambition to plant onions again in order to get a big result like yesterday.
In January the father began plowing the fields and preparing for the onion planting process early on is already smooth and goes well in every day the development of shallots is stable as usual. Until this 2nd harvest father can still get results like yesterday . And dad started to add assets to rent an area of one hectare at that time. When I was 18 years old, my father employed me as an employee or taught me how to grow onions from the process and how to care until the harvest.
At one time I had understood and yes it was still as it used to be at 02.00 in the morning until the rising of the sun. When I finished sitting while looking at the development of the plant I began to feel proud of the process I went through I thought I would be a successful person like a father. When this onion plant was harvested I told my father "my father wanted to have a car" and my father said " yes already after the onion is finished harvesting the results you buy what you want already".
When it is time for the sale. There this onion sells at a price of 15,000. Rp per kg at that time the price of red onions began to fall when it was sold it was a total of about 2 tons and get 30 million. When it has been calculated the cost from the beginning of planting until the harvest there is no profit or can be said there is no profit said the father.
Then I asked "how my father wants to buy a car" said father "what would buy a car we now can not benefit even a loss of energy there. There I was upset that my biggest desire was being hampered but I think okay now is still not the time maybe.
Gradually already me and my father began planting again the process as usual goes smoothly no obstacle until the harvest. And when sold the price of onions down draatis and reached a loss of 40 million. There my father began to get hot angry at that time I also considered the failure of the 2nd time to buy what I wanted.
At one time my father planted again in the middle of the onion planting process the father began to be ambitious to buy medicine so that the onion is large and has a heavy weight if it has been harvested. At the age of 30 days the onion was given medicine ... from a company that he said could make the onion good/big.
When it is halfway through the onion it wants to harvest. That's where I started to break down my business and my clan
Onion was at the age of 32 days after in the onion medicine kasik from the company experienced obstacles every day until it smelled a pungent smell like the stench of the onion.
At the age of 39 days the red onion is increasingly visible if the state of the baaang is not good for me. Seen the juice of the usually nice green leaves is now a dry brown and dead . At the age of 40 days the onion is increasingly not discouraged progress deterioration that is very undesirable to occur at the age of 41 days the onion failed to harvest and the father brought in expert prof onion company the medicine that I had explained and after being brought to my rice field onion was diagnosed rotten stems and did not biaa harvest again or die. That's where the loss of land covering an area of 1 hectare and reached a loss of 250 million and the impact to my mother.
When I came home and my mother heard the explanation from my father was shocked "why can't it be like that what can't be maintained so that just return the capital sontak father guarding "can not be stained this rotten stem dad wrongly gave a dose of the onion" said the father
Mama was immediately shocked dizzy and had fainted at that time.
And taken to the hospital and my mother was diagnosed by a doctor with cancer/tumor behind the eyes
Suddenly I cried out of the doctor's room while looking at the mama who was lying down regret I felt too spark plug for my own desires that forced my parents to obey my will until finally something unexpected happened.
