The importance of farming
Farming has always been an important part of the rural life. People do that from spring until late autumn. In spring, everything is green and in bloom. People will start to work outside more, plant trees and crops for summer and autumn.
The farming has always been the base of agriculture. In Romania the land is good and people can grow almost anything: corn, potatoes, wheat, tomatoes, cabbage, fruit trees, and many more.
Although people are busy in spring, the best time to observe rural activities in Romania, is summer time and autumn.
Summer is the best time for working on the field and building hay stacks. People wake up early and go to their plot of land. A rural activity there means they will cut the grass, for hours, and then let it dry on the ground.
After that, they will make haystacks. That is really hard work and it usually requires 2-3 people to do it.
The hay will be stacked on a wooden tripod, and sometimes covered with plastic foil. The animals will feed from there, eventually. Or, the hay from the haystack will be transferred into a barn.
Once you are done with the haystack, it is really fun to climb it and sit on top of it for a while.
