Siddhlal sitting amidst his bad crop.
Two rounds of rain and hailstorm this month have destroyed 25% to 65% of farmers’ crops. When Bhaskar came to know the reality of this in the villages Goragaon, Vishankhedi, Vilkhedi, Nathukhedi Barkhedi and Mughaliya Chhap, it came to know that the crops in the field of 7-8 acres are lying stuck. The grains have melted. There are 14 people in the family of Indrajit Chandel of Goragaon. His crop was planted in 10 acres, wheat sat completely in 7 acres.
They point out that the costs are sunk. Now we will have to spend more than the cost to remove this bad crop. If this crop is not harvested, then you will not be able to take a new crop. Even after cutting, hardly 25 to 30% of the crop will be able to come out. Siddlal Meena of the same village says that there was a good crop in 3 acres, this time the loan would have been repaid completely, but 40% of the crop has been damaged in the rain.
More than 70 thousand farmers in Bhopal, farming in 1.5 lakh hectare
Mughalia Raid: Destruction in three acres, compensation word is not known
Sheikh Lal, 62, of the Mughalia imprint, has three acres of land in Nathukhedi. Not even an ear of wheat was left in his field. The whole crop sat down. Sheikh says that we have not received the compensation till date. Even Patwari has not come till date.
Vishankhedi: Attack on small farmers, difficult to extract cost
Malkhan told that normally Rs. 15000 in one acre. There are 10 to 12 sacks of wheat on spending. This saves 5 thousand per acre. If the crop is wasted then the cost is a far cry, our food will also be lost.
Now the government does the survey of the crop in two ways
The survey of the crop is done in two ways. In the first phase, survey is done by Patwari and Agriculture Extension Officer. If the entire crop is ruined, then only the fixed amount is received. Apart from this, the yield is made base.
