春耕

A year's plan starts with spring. Spring is a key time for farmers because it's when they start planting their crops.

From late February to mid-April, they need to watch the weather closely to choose the best time to plant.

Planting involves three steps: plowing to make the soil loose and airy, harrowing to clean the soil of weeds and rocks, and sowing seeds.

Farmers must use the right amount of fertilizer, set the right depth for plowing, and pick crops that grow well in their local weather.

They also work to keep plants healthy by protecting them from pests and diseases.
