This photo story gathers the farm and nature pictures from Prothom Alo's Glimpse of 9 November. All were taken that day in districts around the country.
At Mohipur in Gangachara, Rangpur, farmers are busy planting potatoes in the fertile silt of a char that rose as the Teesta dried up; low costs and good yields make the land profitable (photo: Moinul Islam). At Baratia in Dumuria, Khulna, a farmer has grown sponge gourd on nets beside a fish enclosure, and in the same village cattle are taken to market on a nosimon (photo: Saddam Hossain).
At Sholakundu in Kanaipur, Faridpur, the aman harvest has begun, and a farmer carries cut paddy on his head to stack beside the road (photo: Alimuzzaman). At Gosinga in Sreepur, Gazipur, chillies hang from plants in a farmer's field (photo: Sadik Mridha).
At Sadhanapur in Rangamati, a hill woman sets off for jhum (shifting) cultivation with a basket on her head and a spade in her hand, while at Brahmantila white ducks swim in Kaptai Lake (photo: Supriyo Chakma). At Panchhari in Khagrachhari a kingfisher sits on a branch (photo: Jayanti Dewan).
The remaining picture of the original set, a child playing with an old tyre, is not included here.
