The other day, I went to the farm with some of my siblings to harvest corn. My mom insisted that she wanted to have some roasted corn that afternoon. As I took my bucket and headed to the farm to harvest a small amount of corn for roasting, I discovered that everything was dried up. At some point, I almost gave up on the quest for fresh corn. Nevertheless, I started moving from one stalk to another, harvesting everything. Soon, my siblings joined me, and after some hours of coordination, they all felt tired because there was quite a bit to harvest. As one of them picked up the harvested corn and started leaving, I insisted that I wasn't going anywhere until the farm was completely harvested. In my determination to finish, I noticed that the remaining corn was covered with strange weeds and creepy plants. However, upon closer inspection, I found some healthy and good-looking maize and even a few fresh ears in some areas. I forged through the thick grass, feeling ambushed at times. While harvesting, I reflected on the saying "Good things do not come easy ,📌." I realized that good things do not come to us; we have to seek them out and sometimes work hard to obtain them. 📌Determination will always yield great results, no matter the obstacles we face. 📌Until you accomplish your set goals, do not give up. 📌Lastly, my siblings almost discouraged me. If you are on your way to achieving your goals, take control and do not allow anyone to shift your focus. Love, #Glorious ©️Gloryinspire #Lightoftheworld

🌾🌾 GROWER STORY Victorian grower Ray Thornton is addicted to growing corn, and although the crop is more widely known as maize, he is quick to point out that he grows corn, the grain, not maize for silage. Ray admits he is drawn in by the long, straight rows of seedlings that spring up just five days after sowing and grow to 30 centimetres within two weeks. At three months, the crop is lush, green and almost two metres tall. And the harvest itself is bountiful, with yields of up to 20t/ha from some of the best-performing patches on his property near Waaia, north of Shepparton. But he says achieving high average yields across the whole paddock is a challenge. He has been growing corn for 30 years and has seen average yields increase from 10t/ha to this year’s harvest, which averaged between 17.5 and 18t/ha as a result of new varieties and sowing technology. 👉 Find out more about how Ray succeeds with his corn production https://bit.ly/4bOwzd2 📷 Catherine Norwood

Harvesting is complete, activities continue with the process of separating the leaves and stems from the clove fruit. Clove leaves and stems that are not needed are separated from the clove fruit that has been harvested. This process requires precision and patience, so that only high quality cloves remain. The farmers work with great concentration, ensuring that each clove fruit is properly separated from the leaves and stems. On one side, a group of farmers can be seen cleaning and sorting cloves from their leaves and stems. They use simple tools such as scissors and knives to separate the parts. Meanwhile, on the other hand, the cloves that have been separated are collected and moved to a storage area for further processing. Smiles and satisfaction were visible on the faces of the farmers as they witnessed their bountiful harvest. This activity is not only about producing quality products, but also about celebrating their hard work and dedication in caring for clove plants. #clove #cloves #exportclove #spices #exportspices #indonesiancloves
