..........sugar cane growers of U.P. are in for trouble again this year. They have started agitation in Delhi with the help of a few politicians. I think nothing would come out of this agitation. Except this would help in furtherance of the cause of these politicians. The West and the East U.P. are burning because of poor support price of the sugar cane. Sugar Cane growers are finding it exremely difficult to see the light of the day.
I suggest let them seriously consider to grow alternative crops which would give them better prices. It’s time to be smart farmers. Gone are the days when traditional farming helped in running the family needs. Innovation has to be applied in real sense.
I saw one article few days back in which it was informed that the farmers of Punjab and U.P. are finding banana as more lucrative as compaired to traditional farming. Lot of farmers are considering to switch over.
Think again if this strategy can bebifit you guys........
Pumping groundwater lowers the water table, aggrevating drought. Continued pumping of groundwater continues the cycle. Eventually, the residents of the earth are going to have to live within the limits of what the earth can support sustainably. Overdrawing the resources will make it worse when reality comes due.
