Masaganang Sakahang Kabalikat Rotavator (MSK Rotavator) – “My Dream Rotavator Remains A Dream” – Frank A Hilario

The name is in honor of Father Ciriaco “Acong” Sevilla Jr, who was the trailblazer of the Roman
Catholic movement called “Munting
Sambayanang Kristiyano” (MSK) . Each MSK is a small community of Catholic
parishioners cultivating their love of God and of fellowmen. I wrote a tribute
to Father Acong years ago, in 2013L “Remembering Fr Acong. Hero For The Church Of
The Poor” (Frank A Hilario, blogspot.com).
His heroism comprised building an incredible 400+ MSKs in the Gumaca Diocese
from 1980 to 2007! (Me, I want to be a hero for the poor farmers.)
I wrote the other Sunday, “Lessons Learned From Roman
Catholic “Father Acong” About Successfully Building Basic Ecclesial Communities
(BECs) With Enduring Love” (23 Oct 2022, Frank
And Healthy Minds, blogspot.com).
This time, I'm thinking of a farm equipment that will help the poor farmers become
financially successful in growing any crop because it will not require
so much investment – and I imagine that each MSK of Father Acong can share just
a single rotavator.
[I have repeatedly been writing about my dream rotavator in
past years; check out for instance my essay “Esmeralda Farms? Looks Like Garden
Of Eden To Me” (31 March 2014, Nagkaisa,
blogspot.com).]
The MSK Rotavator I am thinking of is meant to be the only
equipment a farmer will need to cultivate his farm. The mechanical effects of an
operation of the MSK Rotavator (no, not just any rotavator, mind you) are as follows,
as it:
(1)
Automatically creates an organic mulch out of
the weeds (and crop refuse if any) and the soil that it cuts to pieces and
mixes together;
(2)
Automatically distributes that organic mulch all
over the field even as it continues to create the same weeds-soil mix.
One MSK rotavation is enough cultivation of the field; there
is no additional cultivation with any other farm equipment necessary – no harrowing
and no levelling needed; and no manual distribution of organic mulch either. What
a joy!
Since the MSK Rotavator creates an organic mulch, which is
the beginning of a rich organic fertilizer, there is no need for the farmer to buy
and apply any chemical (inorganic) fertilizer or any other organic fertilizer
in the market or his own concoction – that organic mulch is rich enough. That means
the farmer saves thousands of pesos for
fertilizers!
With that organic mulch turning into organic fertilizer, any
crops grown will be healthy and not be attacked by pests. That saves the farmer
expenses for buying chemical pesticides – and prevent exposing himself to
pesticide physical ill-effects.
My dream
rotavator remains a dream. Anybody wants to finance this project to make that
dream come true to raise the farmers from Poverty to Prosperity? Asking as a
friend!@517
