what will be the future of agriculture and farmers? would anyone like to answer
Why do you need to discourage others.. Farming has its own merits and demerits like any other profession. I think if one lives a simple life, farming should be good. But if one wants to compare the earnings with those of software professionals or govt employees, better for him to stay away from farming. By the way, why are you selling superstition's like Rudraksha etc? For earning big money? For such money hungry people, farming is definitely not an option.Seeing todays labour problems it might be very difficult for farmers to survive in only agriculture. Also the Farmer doesnt get anything for his produces. Middlemen make money... Its better to have some other means of income along with agriculture.... Today, in my place, we do agriculture for the labours to survive, NOT THE FARMER!!!. Eg: Today the cost of production of 1 kg Areca in our place comes around Rs.115.00.. now the price has risen a bit from Rs.80 to around 105 per KG!. Is it feasible? We have to get atleast Rs.200 per kg.. We have to look after our family, pay loans etc etc...Today the minimum wage of a daily worker is Rs.150 !. IF the price of 1 kg Areca goes more than 150, then the labour cost also will automatically go up!. Even the labours cannot do anything, since the price of daily commodities etc has gone up like anything!! Even the Goverments are not interested in supporting the producers (Farmers).. They are busy in their scams, vote banks etc etc....
@ mpneerkaje: I like the way you are so direct, I tend to agree with you, there is no point in comparing as the grass will always be greener on the other side.Why do you need to discourage others..
