Bumper yield of Aman has brought smile to farmers in Netrokona, who had faced several floods this year.
Three back-to-back floods affected Aman fields at initial stage this year, putting thousands of farmers at serious risk of cultivation.
But after the flash floods, insistent and moderate rainfall brought blessings for the farmers as it helped much to wash away the weeds from their field, said Md Habibur Rahman, deputy director of Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) in Netrokona.
