RE: Fifty Words Challenge || Futile Efforts
Farming is a tough life. It can reap rewards to those who work hard, but there's nothing easy about it.. When crops fail like this it must be soul-destroying..
In Ireland in 1845, our Potato crop failed and over that year and the few that followed out population went from just over 8 million to 6.5million as many people died and the rest left Ireland on coffin ships..
Yes, this activity carries so many emotions...joy, sorrow, pain, happiness. Farmers are among the bravest people and we should be grateful to them. It is especially hard when an entire nation depend on a single specie crop.
