Paddy Crop Planting

Paddy is the main Kharif crop

Grown in the coastal regions,

Applying different methods of

Cultivating, sowing, planting, harvesting,

Paddy grains are sown

At the start of the monsoon

In a field specially made fertile

By burning dry dung, leaves, grass

Yellow tender stems like threads

Are visible after three days,

Which turn lush green

On the field within a month

Month old young plants

Are pulled up, tied in bunches,

While singing folk songs in chorus

To relieve the strain of bending work

Those bunches are untied, three to

Four stems are planted in the muddy

Brown water, prepared by the farmers

With bulls yoked, repeating the songs

Paddy crop is ready for harvesting

After three months, the farmers,

Workers are very busy cutting

Fastening, chopping, thrashing, packing,

Processing rice, sending for marketing

Consumers receive from the retailer
