    Assignment #2 – Primary & Secondary Tillage

    1. Visit a farmer or farmers within your locality (as much as possible your close relative for your safety
    from COVID) and interview them on how they prepare their field prior to planting.

    Guide questions: (If possible, translate it in your dialect so that the farmers will understand you)

    a. What do you do (other activities) before tilling the soil (if any)?
      Do not start to plant right away. Leave the soil alone for a day or two so any
    compost, organic materials or soil enhancements have time to decompose and
    provide nutrients into the soil.

    b. Are you practicing primary tilling and secondary tilling?


     Yes.

    c. If you are practicing both, how many days is the interval from primary tilling to secondary
    tilling?

     After the primary tilling, the secondary tilling should be executed after a week.

    d. What implements/machines do you use in land preparation? Separate implements/machines


    for primary tilling and for secondary tilling.

     Primary tilling: Plough, Ridger

    Secondary tilling: Cultivator, Harrow

    e. How do you maintain your implements/machines?

     Clean it on regular basis and store in the proper place .

    I’ve known a farmer in Pingkian, Kayapa, Nueva Vizcaya named Bregidor Almendral. He is the father-in
    law of my boss, a kind, hardworking man by himself. He told me; he spent more years in running his
    farm to finance his family needs.

    With his determination and courage, he grows various crop to earn profit and successfully gain for a
    living. His sacrifices paid off when his son and daughters graduated and become professional licensed
    teachers.
    Those long years of farming taught him the accurate procedures of tilling and other land preparations.
    He continuously learns from actually engaging himself through performing the task rather than hiring a
    labourer.

    According to him, the initial thing to do is to clean the land area, then followed by the tilling, specifically
    the primary one. Next is to wait for about a week to perform the secondary tilling so that the land can
    absorb the water and contain the moisture to loosen before another tilling.

    Farming isn’t easy to deal with when it comes to the preparation there are variation of prices on the
    machines or implements needed to purchase for the operations. That’s why he had to ensure the safety
    and cleanliness to guarantee the maintenance of the certain machines or implements to prevent
    bankruptcy on the capital.

    The important value which Mr. Almendral shared with me is the consistency, for he was been farming
    for about many decades.
