In Ukraine's Kherson region, farmers face an ongoing threat from war while attempting to revive agricultural activities. A farmer described a recent incident where a drone carrying incendiary devices caused damage to crops and sparked fear among locals. Despite these dangers, watermelon farming is thriving due to high demand and productive land. Farmers are increasing cultivation areas and receiving pre-orders for watermelons. However, the specter of renewed conflict prompts some to consider relocating their farms further from the front lines.
"We were driving around the field and saw a drone lying there. There's also a crater. The watermelons were damaged."
"We're seeing a boom in Kherson watermelons. They've become extremely popular this year."
