With war tearing through the nation, most of Afghanistan is left in a poor state. The common man has lost a lot – from mental peace to financial stability. But now with the government slowly but steadily stabilizing, the people of Afghanistan are slowly getting back to normal life. Balkh Province in the northern parts of the country is a very fertile place and is also sometimes called the break basket of Afghanistan. The farmers here are looking to increase the yields to earn more in an attempt to improve their lifestyles.

With the help of USAID, the farmers now have motorized farm aides which are definitely helping them in their job. The farmers are being educated about the importance and helpfulness of these tractors and other aids. Because manual farming takes a lot more time and effort, the farmers are fast turning to the tractors and other available machinery. Apart from the motorized vehicles, USAID is also working closely with the farmers to provide them with the best quality seeds and fertilizers which further help in improving the quality and the quantity of the agricultural produce.

With a little help, the farmers of the Balkh Province are benefitting immensely. Not only have they improved the methods of farming, they have also improved the ways of their own lives. The farmers, apart from saving time and energy, are also able to reap better quality agricultural produce that help them earn more money and give them the passport to a better life.
