Very little precipitation for the last 3 months in Air
Karah. Due to this weather condition my husband decided to defer a few planting
project. Besides that he also worried about the condition of crop that we plant before the drought season. Some
of the bananas sucker begin to withered. My
husband then decided to buy a water pump so we can use water from the stream to water the crops. We hope this will help them to cope with the hot weather. Wak Nan has to
do it every alternate day. It is a tiring work, but it’s not much help to some crops
like bananas, sweet potatoes and pineapple. They just can’t survive. Worried
about this prolong condition, I checked the weather forecast that Meteorology Department
of Malaysia provides us especially in the District of Hulu Perak every single
week and pray for some rain but so far still no luck. I hope there are some
rains after Eidul Fitr for us here at our farm in Air Karah.
