AURORA, Isabela – The FDN Integrated Farm, a learning site for agriculture, draws visitors from various agencies and private sectors during the ceremonial harvesting of the rice variety on March 16, 2024, which took place in barangay Ballesteros, Aurora, Isabela.
Nitura expressed his optimism for a bountiful rice crop through technology and mechanization, which would raise the produce’s output and boost farmers’ incomes. “Throughout the procedure, we apply fertilizer at least eight times, as opposed to only twice. Although it was more expensive than usual, the produce would have produced twice as much as usual, increasing revenue. He also mentioned mechanization as a way to reduce labor costs.
Meanwhile, Narra and Palawan Mayor Gerandy Danao visited with the council to see the ceremonial harvesting that was also shown to farmers and farmer leaders.
