I'm not sure specifically as there could be many 'sad farmer stories'. It might be about a farmer who has lost his crops due to bad weather like a drought or flood. Maybe his livestock got sick and died, leading to financial problems and a lot of sorrow for him.
The farmer might have faced some unfair treatment. For example, a big corporation bought the land around his farm and then started some activities that polluted the water source for his farm. He couldn't do much against such a powerful entity. His crops started to wither because of the polluted water. He was sad because he loved his land and his way of life, but it was being threatened by forces beyond his control.
He could have lost his farm in a foreclosure. If he couldn't pay the mortgage on his land, the bank might have taken it away. All those years of building up the farm, improving the soil, and creating a home for his family, just gone in an instant.
Since I don't know the exact'sad farmer story', it's hard to say. But generally, it would be the farmer himself. He's the one who experiences all the hardships and sadness in the story.

One common sad story is about the lack of access to proper irrigation. Third - world farmers often rely on rain, and when there are droughts, their crops fail. For example, in some parts of Africa, small - scale farmers watch their maize and millet fields wither away because they can't afford or don't have the infrastructure for irrigation systems. This leads to food shortages not just for their families but also for their communities.
The story of the farmer and the cow was a classic fable about a farmer's deep feelings for a cow and his attitude towards the cow. This story tells us that sometimes our care and love for others may far exceed our needs for them.
The story begins with a farmer raising a cute cow. He named it "Happiness" because it always brought joy and laughter. The farmer would feed Happy food and water every day and often take it out for a walk. Happy was like his own child to the farmer. He cared about it very much and tried his best to let it live a happy life.
But one day, Happy fell sick. The farmer quickly took it to the vet, but the vet said it was very serious and needed immediate surgery. The farmer was very worried but he didn't want to lose happiness. He didn't want it to leave him. Therefore, he decided to put it to sleep.
Happiness was sent to the market. Many people wanted it, but the farmer did not want to lose it. He could not sell it. In the end, a wealthy businessman decided to buy Happiness.
When Happy was brought home, it became very uncomfortable. It did not like this new environment. The merchant fed it, but it always broke free and refused to eat. In the end, the merchant decided to slaughter it for its meat.
This story tells us that sometimes we may lose some people or things, but we may lose our care and love for them. When we give too much to someone or something, we may neglect their needs or even lose them.
Poverty is a major cause. They can't afford proper facilities and resources for their livestock. For instance, they may not be able to build good shelters for the animals during bad weather.
One sad story could be that a livestock farmer in a third - world country has his animals fall ill due to lack of proper veterinary services. He can't afford the expensive medicines and ends up losing most of his livestock. This means he has no source of income for a long time and struggles to feed his family.
