farmer from Pakistan growing cucumbers and corn. Lying in bed planning my next crop—AMA! SFW or NSFW

r/

I’m a 27-year-old farmer doing tunnel farming for cucumbers and open-field corn. Right now, just lying in bed planning the next cucumber crop. Ask me anything about farming, crop planning, or life in the fields!

    What do you need to keep in mind when you plant cucumbers? 

    Why do you grow these crops specifically?

    How much do you need to plant, or rather yield in order to make a yearly living? Also, I’m not too keen on weather rotation or seasons over there so do you plant once or multiple times a year?

    where in pakistan are you from, and where would you say the best views are? I have family from pakistan and they say the mountains are nice. and here in England we have supposedly authentic and imported Pakistani mangos here and they’re delicious. might have to try the vegetables if I ever happen to visit Pakistan tbh (unlikely but I always wonder)

    Did you decide to become a farmer? Or is it something you had to because of lack of options?

    How accessible was education in general while growing up? How did you learn so good English?

    How often do you need to replace the tunnel material? Meaning can your ‘winter’ fabric be used for multiple winters?

    Not farming related and not meant to be disrespectful.

    As an American, I’m just very curious. Do you think the Pakistani government was aware that Bin Laden was living in the country, and so close to the Military Academy?

    I’m very interested in differences in life and culture but more so in similarities. Could you describe a typical day in your life? Good luck with the crops my friend.

    Do you cultivate corn in greenhouses?

    What is the average plant population you are able to maintain per greenhouse?

    What is your average corn yield?

    Is the corn harvesting process manual or mechanized?

    What are the main insect pests, weeds, and diseases that cause issues?

    For a farmer you are very articulate. You could have introduced yourself as a professor of agriculture and people in Reddit would not have noticed. Unless you’re using chatgpt 🙂

    do you use organic or synthetic fertilizer? also, where does most of your crop go?

    What’s your trellising system for cukes? What diseases and pests do you deal with in your region? I’m a farmer in America and I grow cukes in tunnels as well

    Hi from South Carolina (southeast of the U.S.). I always enjoy growing my perspective of the world, which is my intent behind these questions (I’m also more open minded and have traveled more than most from my region).

    1. What are your favorite places in Pakistan?
    2. What is your view of India? (We often here about the conflict)
    3. What is your honest view of the U.S.? I often hear mixed views from people from other countries, so I’d like to hear your honest perspective.
    4. Here Pakistan is viewed as a dangerous country for U.S. citizens to travel to. Do you agree or disagree? (I do realize most countries have safe and unsafe places)

    Thanks for doing this!

    Not related to farming, but I saw some news about a huge piece of Pakistan declaring independence? There’s no real news on this I’ve seen yet except for a few posts on the internet.

    How true is this, and what’s really going on?
