E-mail..........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........

The crop considered once as commercial has become a common crop. Sometimes some crops are valued high because of market demand or value addition.
Farmers should consider themselves as shrewd businessmen and do produce what are considered sophisticated products.
I shall suggest them to grow some cut flowers,herbal plants for domestic and export needs and some fast growing timber trees too. You will get more suggestions from horticultural and forest departments.
Keep a watchful eye on the consumer needs and change over to newer production. I am not telling about cultivation. But it is about production to meet the sophisticated market needs. it is sure you will get more.
Again, change is law of life for every one. Agriculture should be considered as consumer industry.

I strongly suggest that what has been said above that farming is no longer peasentry but industry. Only those will survive who will produce what can sell at premium in the market. Market economy will be the driving force. For a few prodcuts, you might have to create demand.....
This is a sceneario from our parliament............
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.
