“The total area of the farm is 2000 acres, 8000 of which are specified for planting fodders. We used 200 acres for planting barely producing fifty tones. The soil salinity affected the production of these crops,” al-Araji the head of the agricultural affairs department stated.
“Moreover, we used part of the farm for breeding of sheep and cattle. In addition we planted vegetables and greens and we brought greenhouses for implanting winter-vegetables in the summer,” he hastened to add.
