Hassan Midiv
Up until 15 years ago, Hassan Haji Nejad, also known as Hassan Midiv, had a small corner store before he became a farmer. He is an easygoing farmer and prefers not to work under the harsh sun in the height of the afternoon sun. However, this does not jeopardize his work. He chooses to work smart, ensuring that his efforts are are completed with great effort and good quality. For example, he does not use any form of chemical fertilizer or pesticides in his saffron farm, despite the fact that it is easier and cheaper to use chemical fertilizer. Also, chemical fertilizer is less heavy and easier to spread as opposed to the efforts that must be taken to carry animal manure to the farm. Regardless, Hassan Haji Nejad insists to use organic-based animal manure in his saffron farm to ensure the high quality his products yield.
Hassan Haji Nejad is also known as Hassan Midiv, because his father’s name was Mehdi and this name indicated he is the son of Mehdi. Hassan himself has three sons and one daughter. One of his sons is married.
Hassan Haji Nejad owns a donkey as his workhorse, but when the time a bull is needed for harder more laborious work, he borrows a bull from his friend Haji Seei. Hassan also raises four sheep and a few chickens, as meat supply for his family. Although it is much cheaper and easier to buy vegetables, such as potato, tomato, onion from the bazaar, Hassan always felt the quality of the vegetables from the bazaar could never be as good as those he could grow at home. He insists to grow his own. Saffron is the only cash crop for Hassan, because he totally relies on the income that he makes from saffron. The rest of his farm products are solely for the supply of the family.
Hassan hopes to earn more money in order to go on a pilgrimage, as well as sightseeing around Iran.
