The Ministry of Agriculture<\/span><\/span> is currently engaged in<\/span><\/span> an ongoing project<\/span><\/span> for local farmers to have better access to their farms and <\/span><\/span>natural <\/span><\/span>water sources for adequate irrigation purposes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The excavator was seen <\/span><\/span>earlier this week <\/span><\/span>clearing<\/span><\/span> bushes to create <\/span><\/span>road<\/span><\/span> ways <\/span><\/span>in Bubba Valley, near Christian Valley,<\/span><\/span> which is just one of a number <\/span><\/span>of areas which are being targeted <\/span><\/span>to provide improved road access to farms…<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u200bField Office<\/span><\/span>r<\/span><\/span>s<\/span><\/span> for the South West agricultural<\/span><\/span> district, Shanie Joseph and Mr. Milton Barnes were out in the area while the heavy duty equipment was in operation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

Joseph said <\/span><\/span>that <\/span><\/span>she is happy that this is being done as <\/span><\/span>some farmers have had to resort to leaving their vehicles parked on main roads and walk through bush<\/span><\/span>es<\/span><\/span> to get to their farm,<\/span><\/span> either due to the bad condition of the road<\/span><\/span>s or no access<\/span><\/span> roads. <\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u200bAccording to the agriculture rep<\/span><\/span>s<\/span><\/span>, s<\/span><\/span>ome farmers<\/span><\/span> who have had to abandon<\/span><\/span> their effort to<\/span><\/span> driving in, have <\/span><\/span>experienced vandalism of their vehicles<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u200bAnother Field Officer in the South West district, <\/span><\/span>Mr. <\/span><\/span>Milton Barnes, explained that during this project<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> they have e<\/span><\/span>ncountered a few challenges<\/span><\/span> including adequate heavy duty equipment but <\/span><\/span>the ministry is<\/span><\/span> urgently undertaking efforts to address this.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u200bWe also caught up with life-time farmer, <\/span><\/span>Mr. Murphy Par<\/span><\/span>ker who was <\/span><\/span>on hand to share his thoughts on the work being done in the <\/span><\/span>southwest<\/span><\/span> district. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u200bHe said that he was very happy<\/span><\/span> to see that<\/span><\/span> the ponds are being cleaned as<\/span><\/span> they serve <\/span><\/span>a very important source of water supply for farmers in the area and he also <\/span><\/span>welcomed the cleaning of the land although <\/span><\/span>according to<\/span><\/span> him<\/span><\/span>, it<\/span><\/span> took too long in coming. <\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u200bParker has made his mark in the field of farming in a number of other areas across the island. <\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u200bMs. Joseph<\/span><\/span>, in the meantime, also used the opportunity <\/span><\/span>during our visit <\/span><\/span>to encourage<\/span><\/span> farmers to clean the outer areas <\/span><\/span>of their farm and keep it clear. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

T<\/span><\/span>his<\/span><\/span> she added<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> will help to stave off<\/span><\/span> intruders <\/span><\/span>as praedial lar<\/span><\/span>ceny is on the rise and <\/span><\/span>also <\/span><\/span>provides<\/span><\/span> a clearer distant view on<\/span><\/span>farms which are usually located in isolated areas.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u200bMr. Barnes<\/span><\/span>, on the other emphasized<\/span><\/span> that farmer<\/span><\/span>s<\/span><\/span> need to work the land<\/span><\/span>, espec<\/span><\/span>ially during this period of the<\/span><\/span><\/a> COVID-19 pandemic<\/span><\/span> when increased crop<\/span><\/span> production <\/span><\/span>has become the new norm.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
