Farmers in India are certainly very hard working and it is carried from one generation to another within the family. If one goes towards the farm fields one can find that most of the time the work in the farmhouses are done by the family members and they allow less of the people from outside even if the farms are big or small. Earlier during the sowing or harvesting season, people were called from outside as cheap labor when machinery was not used or there was less of agricultural machinery such as tractors and plows but since many years back after the green revolution, much of the work is done in through mechanized ways.
Now, in this season from April to June, there are heat wave conditions almost all over the Indian subcontinent and the farmers get affected to a large extent. Much of their crops start dying down and it puts them all the efforts to vain which gives them hurtful sentiments. Now, the other thing which needs to be understood is that the Indian Government pays back in some good terms if the agricultural field gets affected by the heat conditions but certainly the Government is not paying for the labor which you took to grow the particular vegetables or cereals which you sowed. Agriculture is all about putting your hard work and dedication and it is not something where one has to be Mohtaj or on the mercy of the Government but one could swell the heart with pride by putting the best to bring the output in the ways which could give solace for a long more time either through money or fame attached to farming. The fame and farmer are words attached with each other and which could be seen in the farmers of Africa and America where they feel proud about their products but the Indian farmers believe in folding the hands and keep their self-esteem to a lower level which ultimately makes them look poorer in society.
Now, think about those days when the people were given importance to being a farmer. They must be not aware but still they are given much of the importance in society if the person is from the agricultural background rather than a multi-millionaire or any other rich person who may be an entrepreneur.
Here, are some of the ways to enjoy the dedication put into the farmland and avoid the heat wave conditions to affect the crops:
The green covers which could be easily used to avoid the heat conditions and the smog along with the fog which affects during winters are the best way to give the best of the crop to grow. Also, it is very cost effective methods wherein it does not allow the various weeds along with the insects to affect the crops giving a healthy yield.
A better greenhouse farming could be adapted where the agricultural field could be covered with shades which are porous and thick green clothing could be put all over with the help of bamboos at every corner and subsequently the adjoining areas of the agricultural field. It will help to trap the required heat and do not allow excess to reach if a tarpaulin cover of black polythene is spread over such fields which are just like a canopy.
Watering the crops very early in the morning through sprinkle methods also help to retain the moisture and in this way, the crops fight back the heat conditions on their own. In India companies like Indiamart provide crop cover at appropriate prices and their team members could give you the best of the advice to introduce the kind of crop covers according to the agricultural yields.
So, one has to understand that there is no need to lament for the heat conditions but appropriate solutions should be found to get the most out of the agricultural field because one can pay for the losses but the efforts which have been put can be paid only by the better agricultural output.
