About this kanji
The kanji 「農」 primarily means agriculture and relates to farmers and farming. It is typically used in nouns rather than verbs. Common compounds include 農家 (のうか), meaning "farmer," 農業 (のうぎょう), which translates to "agriculture," and 農協 (のうきょう), referring to an "agricultural cooperative." This kanji emphasizes the importance of farming and rural life in Japan. A usage note is that while the kanji itself doesn't have a kun'yomi reading, its on'yomi readings are crucial when combined with other kanji to form meaningful words related to farming.
Example sentences

Agriculture is an important job.
