AL-NAMAS — A Saudi man who is over 70 years old spent a part of his life serving the military to eventually return to his village in Al-Namas governorate and work in the tillage and agriculture domain.

However, the old man practices his job in the traditional way, using a bull, bringing back a method that was almost abandoned in Saudi Arabia long time ago.

Mohammed Al-Omari went back to his village and bought a number of bulls for tilling, watering and grinding.

In an interview with Al Arabiya he said: “In my youth, we used to buy a bull to till and plant the land in summer and fall. That was our only income.”

He added: “Now the prices of bulls are much higher because most people have abandoned the trade, but I want to preserve the profession of my ancestors because it is a culture to be proud of.”

“Uncle Mohammed”, as locals call him, is famous in the area because he is the only one still who uses bulls for tilling despite the development witnessed in the Saudi agricultural field. — Al-Arabiya English
