Write an essay on a farmer trying to protect his farm from locust.
Answers
Answer:
Desert locusts have affected about 60 countries, including India and Pakistan. They are swarming short-horned grasshoppers, each two inches long with short, thick antennas. Grasshoppers don’t live in groups and keep chewing plants as lonely insects. But in some circumstances, they coalesce into large groups and migrate together in search of food. This process of gregariousness also induces changes in appearance, turning them from green to a shade of yellow-brown and strengthens their muscles. The Russian entomologist Boris Uvarov first noted these changes and came up with the theory that linked two different phases of the same insect – the grasshopper – with that of locusts.
Desert locusts can fly over 130 km a day and stay in the air for a long time. According to the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), locusts have been known to cross the Red Sea, a distance of 300 km. One particular swarm reportedly flew over 5,000 km, from West Africa to the Caribbean, in 10 days in 1988. One squared kilometre swarm of 40 million locusts can eat as much as 35,000 people can in a day. And as the plague of locusts consumes crops in the field as well as in silos, they leave great agricultural distress and famine in their wake.

Answer:
We poor people only believe in our crops but when it is a drought or attacked by locust we depend on the loan to buy the necessary things for the next year farming and if also that goes wrong we would be in a debt trap and sometimes we need to sell our house, land, cows for money to survive.
