Transplanting - 2

The seedlings were three or four days old, the same ones that the Captain was preparing in the earlier entries of this Blog. Grown with allot of hope and faith in doing what is right for the environment and those who depend on on "unpoisoned" rice for their staple diet. Here in this little tray lies the future in returning to what is natural and healthy in what we eat. 

The field was prepared earlier by my friend Sukardi who did most of the real field prep. An ex- soldier and a very quiet and reserved character. He is one of the backbones of this facility.

A participant leader from Kelantan who is very strong in promoting organic farming and makes her feelings and concerns well heard at the meetings. She has many hurdles to face in promoting organic farming in her own state of Kelantan. It is a challenge that she will overcome in time as this is what organic farming means, the dare to take on those that benefit from chemically controlled farming.

The lines are drawn in the Mud!

So, what are you waiting for lets start planting, my frend the Cikgu or as we call him Pa'Tam who is another one of the most strong believer in organic farming.

 They came in all shapes and sizes and they stooped and placed the seedlings gently into the mud. Those with high qualifications and those who are common farmers.
