A sneak peek at the harvest
Feature
Written by Ben, Asia YES team member   
Asia YESFarming has got to be one of the most difficult jobs – just ask any farmer, and I’m sure they could tell you it’s not always easy.  When I think of farming, I envision John Deere tractors, flat open fields, cows, large farm buildings, and silos.  Now, farming on flat land like Lancaster County, Pennsylvania is one thing, but try farming in the steep mountains of southern Asia!  The people here basically farm cliffsides by hand, with nothing more than some hand tools, lots of muscle, and with their livelihoods depending on it.  It’s quite a different view from the large open fields of Lancaster County.  However, the same principle exists, as it has since the beginning: seeds must be planted, cared for and nurtured as they grow, and then the plants harvested.  Waiting can sometimes be one of the hardest parts, as the seed grows underground, but no signs of it show for days above the ground.
