True words Miss Inez, the young men them nowadays are very lazy. I remembered going to the field with my dad who was a cultivator of many crops.. His love for agriculture gave him the earnings he needed to raise thirteen children. We were so blessed then because we were never hungry

It is more complex than that though. Based on my experience, young people will work. However, many shy away from farming because from an early age it was drummed in their psyche that farming was beneath them and is only for children who did poorly in school. I remember my cousin telling me that a girl in her class said she wanted to be a farmer and the other kids laughed. There is no teacher in say primary school who encourages children to pursue farming as a career. Lawyer, doctor, engineer, etc are what they are told are the ideal careers

Yes, Lucea yam country these.

Ok sister Inz

I learned so much from this video, I love Ms Inez, very knowledgeable about Lucea Yam

Thanks again, Miss J. Great reminder of how life used to be for me. While my father reared cows, goats and hogs, those were mostly for personal consumption. Yams are what provided hard currency to grow me up and send me to high school (all the way in Santa Cruz). I already made a comment on your "Trelawny Yam vs Hanover Yam" vlog. Big up to you and please keep up the good work. --Æ.

Brilliant Mount Fuji😇. Yam is very nutritious and makes us strong!

Mi love dis yam.....Never know you need to rotate the planting of the yam head for it to thrive......its a shame that Miss Inez want to sell off the land because the workforce is not readily available or too expensive. I love this series of videos Miss Jamrock ❤.

Thank you Karen. We just have to ramp up our campaign to make agriculture appealing to the youth again. We started ion 2016 with a workshop called THE FUTURE IS AGRICULTURE and the high school kids rolled out for it.. mainly girls. Some have gone on to Agricultural school.

Great video! Believe me, yam business, is big business. You can live well from growing and selling yam. The young people from the area should learn from the older people how to grow the yam, and keep the business going. That's like a cultural heritage that should be preserved. You can get a good education, and still be a farmer. Working with the land was man's first occupation. God put Adam in the Garden of Eden, and told him that he should dress it and keep it. I would give anything to live in an environment like that, far from the concrete jungle of the city 🏙️🌆. I'm originally from rural St. Andrew, and we grow a lot of yam that we take to Kingston and sell. I saw people educate their children, and build their homes from farming. Farming is a multimillion dollar business in America...

Absolutely, Miss Hortense. Maryland has been a self-sufficient community due to yam cultivation and other aspects of agriculture. In fact, Maryland is one of the most successful communities in Hanover economy-wise. I went to Rusea's with students from these farming areas and they always looked rich. Like you, I know that THE FUTURE IS AGRICULTURE. What has happened is that overtime FARMING has been represented with the worst images by mainstream media. Almost everytime you see a news item on farming, it is always about farmers on the South Coast complaining about water, praedial larceny and being unable to make ends meet. You hardly ever see reports on farmers in Hanover and Westmoreland, for example, yet they are the ones who are thriving so well.

@@missjamrock I think because farming is closely connected to The Transatlantic Slave Trade, so psychologically and mentally, it left a negative impression in the subconscious of most black people. Imagine, living on a plantation where you are treated as a subhuman being, and you are forced to work the land from sunrise to sunset, you would subconsciously developed a hatred for the land. Many of the negative manifestations in black communities across the world today are part of the legacy of slavery. When any society experienced a traumatic event, the information of the event is stored in the DNA of people to be manifested in future generations. My sister, the seeds that we plant today will bear fruits tomorrow.

​ @Hortense Clarke I think though, that for Hanover, it is a matter of marketing an promotion... our youth down here will cultivate, as long as they will get paid upon delivery. People in general, tend to "follow the money". As long as farming is lucrative, they will do it.
