Vegetable Basket

KS 84'S

Mr. Usro

About 18:30, Fathan and Asep arrived at the village of sukadarma.quickly they rushed back to their respective homes, to perform magrib prayers first. after Isha the members who went to look for the farmers, they gathered at Kamal's house, because it was the second office of the vegetable basket group.

Idan and his friends began to convey their findings, which did not succeed in finding the farmers needed that fit the criteria set by the supermarket.But when they heard the chairman they managed to meet with Mr. Usro, who was not able to find the farmers who needed them, They also look relieved.

"How, if in the future we rent the land of the citizens only, because if we rely on the results of other people's agriculture, they are not us. Mamang is not debilitating, but Mamang is worried that they do not maintain the quality according to our standards" suggested Kamal who joined the discussion with the young people.

"Good idea, Mang...! but for now the vegetable basket cash is thin, because in addition to being used to build our Mini hotel, the last few weeks the payment from the supermarket is not in accordance with the previous income, because of the lack of goods we send," fathan said conveying the condition of the vegetable basket.

"Yes...! this is all because of Kang Ujang , finally our farmer group is divided," Kamal muttered with a heavy sigh.

"Cause of Kang Ujang?" asked Fathan who frowned.

"Yes after mamang investigate, it turns out that the Dadun is the same conco-concoct they are affected by the words of the Ujang, so they did not think long and decided to part with us. whereas as we realize, as we realize, the farm will not always produce results, Sometimes where the harvest will be very disappointing," explained Kamal expressed his frustration.

"Oh like that mang...! but it's okay maybe they want to organize themselves without my intervention.the most important thing for me is the people of Sukadarma village can still make money, even if not Merantau," obviously Fathan with his flat face Not one bit he was affected by the kamal complaint.

"How about renting that farm?" tanya Idan switched the conversation.

"Maybe for now we focus first by relying on agricultural products from the residents of Ciparay Village, while we think and find more money to rent agricultural land," fathan said as usual he never rejected the opinion of others when it was true.

"Emang the quality of agriculture of the people of Ciparay Village can be included in Than's supermarket?" ask Kamal who looks dubious.

"God willing can Mang, although the agricultural products are not as good as the quality produced by our agriculture.but it is enough to cover temporary needs, while little by little we collect savings to rent the land of the citizens, but it is enough to cover temporary needs, as our farm."

"Would rice fields be converted as vegetable gardens?" asep's advice that he had been paying attention to.

"That can be too...! but to turn the rice fields into vegetable land, it is very dear...! because the rice fields have been productive, we have to use unused or unproductive land, so that our agriculture is more productive" explained Fathan.

"Yes right, if the rice field has become a garden, it will be difficult when it wants to be a rice field again, because there must be extra care so that the land can become mud again," Timpal Kamal confirmed.

Kamal's house was seen alive, with talks, small debates, in order to advance the vegetable basket that had been left by some members of his group. yet they remain passionate and they are confident that any struggle will surely pay off.

The next morning, very early in the morning, there were two vegetable cars that entered the village of sukadarma, Fathan who already knew that the car was a car sent by Mr. Usro, who had been sent, he quickly directed the car to enter the vegetable basket office yard, so it was easy when sorting the items to be taken to the supermarket.

Arriving at the vegetable basket office, there was an old man who yesterday Fathan met out of one of the cars, then approached Fathan. quickly the farmer reached out, to invite him to shake hands. not to forget he kissed the back of his hand as a form of respect.

"Mr come too?" Fathan asked, looking at the man who had been watching the advanced agriculture since then, because it was very different from the farm in his village. on the vegetable basket farm there are many green houses lined up neatly. Marking the progress of agriculture managed by Fathan.

"Thank you so much you've been willing to visit me, but sorry if the reception is less than what you expected." Fathan replied humbly.

"Ah, just like Kang Fathan, it has been admitted, you are very happy. oh yes, want to be flanked by vegetables that you bring?"

"After I called the people who work to sort your vegetables, but I'm sorry if I don't buy them all?"

"Nothing Kang, this can be a whip for me and for the people of Ciparay village, so that in the future can maintain the quality and improve the quality for the better.

"Sep...! Asep!" Call Fathan.

Asep ran towards Fathan, then he looked at the farmer as if waiting for orders. "What's up Kang?" ask Asep who looks always ready.

"Please point the car to the vegetable sorting place, so that we can quickly pack it up and leave it to the supermarket!"

"Okay Kang..!" asep replied then he directed the drivers to enter the sorting warehouse. Fathan and Mr. Usro followed, because the old man wanted to know how to pack well and properly.

Arriving at the warehouse.veggies brought by Mr. Usro, carefully Asep began to lower.and began to be removed from the sacks. after removing Asep assisted Idan and several other members, Asep, they began to be preoccupied with sorting and separating.which vegetables are worth going into the supermarket, which ones enter the market, after being separated and then weighed. Mr. Usro and Fathan they sat watching, accompanied by coffee and freshly picked fruits from the plantation.

After the vegetables were weighed, Asep and Idan they continued to work began to wrap the vegetables, separated one by one. some were wrapped in newspapers, some were wrapped in plastic, some were wrapped in plastic, in accordance with the instructions set.

Once packed as neat as possible vegetables began to be put in the basket, then raised to the top of the truck. Mr. Usro who had noticed, he was amazed by what the farmer was doing, he did not expect that the process was very complicated, although fortunately very large.

After the vegetables brought by Mr. Usro finished being raised to the car. slowly the vegetable basket farmers began to arrive by bringing their agricultural products, he said, making Mr. Usro increasingly looked because when compared to the best agricultural products, it was far different from the agricultural products that Fathan managed.

"So soon and well, the farm's produce." Praise Mr. Usro.

"Alhamdulillah Sir...! when managed properly in accordance with the recommendations set by the farm, then crop failure can be minimized, so that farmers can minimize losses."

"When may not my villagers invited to study tour here, so that they can understand about good and correct agricultural management."

"Must Sir...! gotta....! because if we are not concerned with agriculture, want to rely on who else, usually their people usually protest if the agricultural products are bad, but do not have a solution.

"Yes...! we are required by the market to provide the best and superior food commodities, but they do not know how difficult it is to make all that happen."

The two of them continued to chat while continuing to pay attention to the vegetable basket members who were busy tidying up their agricultural products. as always when there is a good they will take to the supermarket and Second quality they will bring to the market, third quality will be brought home to be the side dishes of the farmers. because that's the advantage of agriculture, although the benefits obtained are small, but they have more value, namely abundant food.

After all the vegetables are packed and raised to the car. The drivers began to take trucks that had been filled with various vegetables, with various purposes.some to the market, some to the supermarket, some to the supermarket, so that some cars belonging to vegetable baskets are seen making their way to Sukabumi City.
