Maize, soybean crop started to dry up, farmers are suffering
(Rohan Wavdhane): This year, the cultivation of kharif season crops such as maize, soybeans, millets, etc., which depended on drizzling rains, is in danger due to lack of rain. A distressed picture is seen in rural areas of Yewla taluka.
This year, Baliraja had a huge problem of capital for cultivation and cultivation of Kharif season crops. Baliraja had arranged for the purchase of seed fertilizers by usurpation and borrowing; However, in the beginning of June and July too, due to heavy rains, Baliraja was forced to take care of his life and sow the crops with the help of drizzle.
This year, due to the increase in the price of seed fertilizers, the cost of cultivation and seeds in the kharif season also increased to a large extent. It is also seen in Manori, Deshmane, Jalgaon Neur, Purangaon and other areas that the crops have been losing steam due to the heavy rainfall since a month. In many places, it is seen that farmers are trying to save the crops by giving water to maize and soybean crops through sprinklers to give life to the crops.
Farmers waiting for onion subsidy
This summer, the amount of heat is more. Due to this, the water storage in the wells and ponds was greatly reduced due to the heat. In the month of March, the state government has decided to give onion subsidy to the farmers and when the government informed to give the subsidy till August 15th, six days
LAti arcad ciner tha 15th and still the farmers have not received the onion subsidy and the farmer is waiting for the subsidy.
Kharif season is in danger due to insufficient rain this year. Despite heavy expenditure, the rains have started to wither the crops due to the heat. Onion subsidy announced by the government should be given to the farmers immediately. Also, relief should be given to the farmers by increasing the export of tomatoes. Also, seeing the drought situation, it has become necessary to provide relief to the farmers.

Crops have started drying due to prolonged rains. The water reservoirs in the wells have dried up and the crops need heavy rains. There is a need to release water to the fodder from the Palkhed cycle. Otherwise, in the next few days, if there is no rain, the crops will be burnt in front of our eyes.
