The remarkable aspect of this accomplishment lies in the unwavering dedication of the farmers to physical labor, rejecting traditional methods like using animal-drawn plows or machine-powered tillers that are typically considered necessary for such extensive farming pursuits. Despite facing difficult terrain with uneven ground and dense vegetation, these resilient farmers persisted with determination.
