Watermelons are precious, so why do farmers with large watermelon fields threaten to kill themselves?

Every year starting in June, watermelons hit the market in large quantities. Logically speaking, the farmers who grow watermelons should be overjoyed right now. But the farmers growing watermelons in this village cannot be happy! Why on earth is that? Erdan will take everyone to take a look~

At the end of May, this village suffered a "natural disaster." It rained heavily for a full week straight, and the water in the farmland could not drain away. The farmers in this village could only watch helplessly as a whole year of hard work was ruined.

Watermelons fear being soaked in water the most, let alone a week of heavy rainstorms. By rough calculation, every household in this village had to lose over 100,000, and some large growers lost even more. If they wait until the next crop of watermelons grows, the market price will definitely not be as high as the current peak. The farmer friends have bitterness they cannot even express.

Although "natural and man-made disasters" cannot be foreseen or avoided, for growers it is still very necessary to take preventive measures in advance. For example, drainage ditches: many farmers dig drainage ditches just to make a show of it, and that is absolutely unacceptable. You should know that if severe rainfall occurs, it will be too late to dig then. Therefore, drainage ditches must be dug deep. For emergency drainage, the only option is to bring out pumps; there is no other way.
