Farmers’ day is a non-religious festival celebrated in Ghana to applause and eulogize the collective efforts of farmers in their attempt to provide the nation with food.
Food is known for providing the human body with the energy and nutrients needed for life. Farmers work throughout the year to make sure people get food to eat in order to carry out daily life activities.
Farmers are therefore celebrated on the first Friday of every December so that they can be moralised to farm more to feed people living on earth.
Sene West, with Kwame Danso being the district capital is a farming community commited to growing crops like maize, rice, yam, beans etc.
Sene West district’s farmers’day was called off over an alleged clash between the DCE and the district agric director over who should be crowned best farmers.
Netizens of Sene West have taken to social media to register their their displeasure over the cancellation of the Farmers’day celebration.
Traditional leaders and the security personnel showed but the agric department didn’t show so the celebration was called off.
This is a worrying situation in this district with farmers being left stranded and disrespected over the inability of the Sene West District to celebrate them on Farmers’day
