Farming is like cooking, and harvesting is the last, very important step before serving!

After growing crops like rice and cotton all season, farmers need to be super careful when picking them.

It's best to pick crops when they are just right, not too early or too late, just like picking a ripe fruit.

Using sharp tools helps so the crops don't get hurt.

After picking, it's important to keep the crops dry by not leaving them on wet ground and drying them in the sun.

Then, store them in clean, airy places, away from bugs and wetness.

Transporting them carefully and cleaning them before selling also helps get the best price.

Watching the weather is also key, so a sudden rain doesn't ruin everything!
