HELLO HIVE
There is a huge burst of activities going on around swampy lands that are used for rice cultivation, most farmers have gone ahead of us in their work but ours took a little longer because of some issue about the land that needed sorting out most of the land that we normally get on lease to cultivate on have been sold by the owners of those lands and the new owners don't like the idea of farmers planting rice on their farms as they are also trying to build houses on those lands which makes the situation even the more complicated.
We've lost some portions of the land and now we move forward to cultivate the parts that we have left and we have to start work on those parts before any more issues come up again that's why we are spraying herbicide on it as fast as possible to show the owners that we are ready to move forward with work. A nonselective herbicide will do the work since we don't need any living plant on the land except the rice that we are planting on it though that won't hold for long before the weeds start showing up but it will hold until after planting at least then we can plan on what to use next to deal with the weeds.
Farm lands has always been an area of conflict for years now and the more farmers lose their farms the more they push into the deep to find lands to farm on.
