The vastness of the farm stretches out before us, showcasing endless fields ready for cultivation. The farmers' expertise is evident as they meticulously sow wheat seeds into the fertile soil, ensuring a bountiful crop for future harvests. Their synchronized movements demonstrate years of experience and an unwavering dedication to their craft. The presence of horses adds an element of nostalgia to this scene, reminding us of simpler times when horsepower was literal rather than metaphorical.
