Welcome to the agro-learning challenge season 20.
Observations and suggestions:
. You have nicely explained those task questions. Concise and straight to the point. But some little details would have been best.
It is observed that Pakistan's top grown crop is wheat and this is challenged by poor irrigation systems and operational machinery to improve yields.
. Generally, you have written very nicely. Hope we see your participation next time.
