00:00Thank you for listening.

00:30Our season has been flowering from October to October to October.

00:34You are seeing that our production has been a lot of work.

00:38More than 90% of our production has been a lot of work.

00:41This is the reason for two or three.

00:43In the last year, the drought and the rain had been in October, November, December and Post-flowering.

00:49The crop multiplication has been a lot of work.

00:54Many farmers and farmers say that this year in October and September has been a lot of rain.

01:02This is the reason for flowering.

01:04This is not the reason for the last year.

01:08This is the reason for our yield.

01:11This is the reason for multiplication and underweight.

01:14I also think that this time, the situation has been a rain.

01:19It has been a rain since October.

01:21It has been a rain since then.

01:24If it's been a rain since then, the production will be most likely remain in the next year.

01:30The farmers say that the borrwell is not a work.

01:35The borrwell is not a work.

01:36The borrwell is a work.

01:38But the missing linkage is not a work.

01:40The borrwell is not a work.

01:42The borrwell is seeing that the borrwell is an irrigation.

01:45The saffron is not a work.

01:48But the farmers also have to come.

01:50If the farmers have one step, the government will go to the 10 steps.

01:53The farmers have given us the production technology, or irrigation schedule, or post-harvest technology.

02:04The farmers have given us.

02:05The farmers have given us.

02:06But personally, the purpose of the Lt.

02:09Since the house is not a work.

02:10And that we are seeing that we are not allowing irrigation for all of this.

02:12We are not putting on irrigation.

02:13The water has given us the same way.

02:14The water has taken out of time.

02:16Nature has also made it a lot of time and we can't give our irrigation supplements that we can't give.

02:25Because the borewell is not fully functional.

02:30The government is seeing that we can fully functional this borewell.

02:35The next year we preserve the heritage crop.

02:39The other thing I want to say here is that our extraction of corn,

02:43which we feed from outside,

02:46I say to our farmers,

02:48that you can keep it yourself.

02:50Because the next generation says that our crop is a crop.

02:54Where is our crop?

02:59Because we have the mafias involved,

03:03the extraction of planting materials that we feed from there.

03:07First time there will be flower.

03:10The second time there will not be flower.

03:12The planting material will get worse.

03:15The last year we have the results of this year.

03:20We have now 13-14 canal.

03:24Only saffron.

03:26In the last year we have 90% of the last year.

03:31Only 10%.

03:32How much was the last year?

03:33In the last year we have 1.5 kg of saffron.

03:39And this year?

03:40In the last year I don't think it will be 250 grams.

03:43But in the last year we have a bar.

03:46Every year it is good.

03:48We have 2 more demand for this year.

03:50And that is so much bvers.

03:51While our stock was very expensive.

03:53We have 2 years.

03:55Its own demand for this year we have to deliver on labor.

03:56We have to deliver on labor,

03:58and be able to deliver on labor.

04:00Then we have to deliver on labor too.

04:01And the next year we have to deliver on labor.

04:02Even in the last year we have to deliver on labor.

04:04We can't do anything in the future, so we can't do anything.

04:14I don't want to invest in the new generation.

04:19We are looking for other things, like hiding, orchards, or private jobs,

04:26or any other jobs.

04:28We don't have any hope from the other people.

04:32We will finish.

04:34I'm going to live in the future.

04:36How old are you?

04:38I'm going to live in the future.

04:40I'm going to live in the future.

04:44Where are the land?

04:46I'm going to live in the future.

04:49Where are you from?

04:51Where are you from?

04:53I'm going to live in the future.

04:59Particularly in the future.

05:01We make love for all of you.

05:05What are you doing now?

05:08The people of the Mubi that need to make Meowth.

05:10What about you?

05:11I did not have a dream, but I was here.

05:16If our Gziećyya was with a mother youcky.

05:18I missed the rest of Windows.
