I can't wheat to meet you!

I am a female wheat farmer from Marathwada, India. In a typical day, I will wake up and tend to the crops, planting if it is spring, and harvesting if it is fall. I do a majority of the work by hand, and it is hard work without much pay. Being able to sustain my family is very important to me, since I am normally only able to grow enough food to get by on.

Recently, in places growing grain crops and other wet rice non-dominant crops, farmers are experiencing long droughts, which is depleting their harvest. This greatly concerns me because I can only maintain enough crop for my family, and if the wheat were to fail, my family would be without food.
