Agriculture Story #11
ASSALAM -O-ALAIKUM!
I hope that you all are fine and enjoying the best of your health. Agriculture is the backbone of many countries also the residing of my own Pakistan. I am really thankful to the community @steem-agro for facilitating and taking advantage of the farmer through this platform. A beautiful contest, Agriculture Story, is a great and appreciatable step by @ruthjoe. They are doing wonders in the field of agriculture by raising contests and information related to fields. So, I am also contributing a little bit to the beauty of agriculture through this contest.
The contest is related to any story of the agriculture sector. So in this field, I am going to show the beautifully cultivated crops of my village. In this post, I am going to elaborate on the two most important and most produced crops in my village. These crops are Maize and potato. My village is known as the city of potato and maize due to the production and qualities of yield.
1.Maize Crop
As in the previous years from 90s, the mostly grown fields of our area were cotton and others. But nowadays, the most seasonal crops are maize, potato, and rice. The reason behind this is that it can be generated in a cycle of 1 year. The maize is almost highly produced yield in all over countries of Pakistan in my village. It is a crop of 3 months and also be grown in winter along with in summer. People are mostly using hybrid seeds for production and getting higher yields. There will be four watering periods during this whole field cycle. As most people are linked with agriculture this is the most-grown crop of my area.

2.Potato Crop
The potato is the second most produced crop in my area. It is also grown in the winter and its period is 120 days. The yield in our areas is highly high, and almost 294 maunds are produced in one acre. All these potatoes are transported and exported throughout the whole world. Different varieties of sustainable potatoes are grown in our area, including coroda, isme, senta, and many more.

As the purpose of the better grew, a lot of technical institutes related to agriculture were built. The University of Faisalabad is a great initiative step by the government of Pakistan in our area. So due to the high-quality seeds, the yield of both two crops is really high here and has been increasing day by day.
I hope that it will be beneficial for you and also my knowledge about crops in my area. I am going to invite @sanakhan01, @razaali123, and @ghiasahmed to join this contest and explore the beautiful agriculture sector in their areas.
