A Conversation with a Lead Farmer
Saude: Long life to the chief. Maidubu: Amen, to you as well. Saude: How is the rainy season? Maidubu: Thank God for the rainy season. Saude: Excellent! May God grant us good favor. Maidubu: Amen, amen. Saude: Well, chief, what do you usually grow during this season? Maidubu: Well, we grow millet during the rainy season. And also peanuts, beans and corn. Women sow red sorrel and okra. Saude: You surely work hard to provide food. What do you do after the rainy season has passed? Maidubu: Well, there is dry season farming. We usually store crops at harvest time. Then we start preparing for dry season farming. Saude: Do you do it on the same farm as you grow the millet? Maidubu: No, there are irrigated fields for that type of work. Saude: What do you usually plant in your irrigated fields? Maidubu: We usually grow tomatoes, peppers, onions, pumpkin, chilis and others. Saude: May God bless you. Maidubu: Amen, we very much need it. Saude: Well, may the chief's reign last a long time, thank you for the conversation. Goodbye. Maidubu: Goodbye. |
