Sowing seeds
Missed showers
Waning moon
Trickle of stream
Hanging hopes
On a moving cloud.

Farmers are not only artists, they are planners too, unlike city planners who flatten the land, or lakes, with bulldozers and divide it into to plan cities. Farmers’ planning uses contours of land (to manage water).
Farmers are also management experts. They manage land, water, seeds, weeds, fodder, tools, storage, logistics, and other ancillary crops and animal husbandry.
And the last but not the least, the ongoing maintenance of all the aspects in farming as a policy, which involves scrutiny, corrections, improvisations, repairs and strategies, within their available means.
Farmers may be illiterate but they are not uneducated as some elite believe.
