farmville

well this isn’t the online game but the real thing. i just had to let this one out. I FEEL FOR OUR FARMERS. I just feel so sad and frustrated today. Mom called me up to say it’s harvest time but those buying our crops and those other farmers in Nueva Ecija are in deep trouble. Red Onions are being bought at P8.50 a kilo yesterday and today prices dropped to P8.00. They were trying to finish harvesting all our crops so it could be sold at today’s price. There are news that prices will continue to go down by tomorrow, probably P7 a kilo. That is mainly talking about Red Onions. Those farmers who planted the White Onions, a different variety didn’t earn a penny. Those controlling the market doesn’t want the white type. Even if farmers try to sell their crops for a mere P3/kilo, still no buyer takes the offer.

I really feel sad coz these people worked really hard to earn a living yet our government doesn’t do anything to help them out.

Poor poor farmers.
