More revenue at a reduced expense
Farrukhabad’s farmers are always willing to try out new agricultural techniques. In addition to conventional farming, farmers are also giving cash crops additional attention, which has created new revenue streams. These days, farming is bringing in a lot of money for the local farmers. them their fields, they are cultivating paddy crops, which brings them a healthy income for them at a little cost. Two thousand rupees is the price per bigha. According to the farmers who plant paddy, they have been doing so for many decades and have only ever made thousands of rupees instead of losing anything.
According to Gudiya, a progressive woman farmer, she comes from a middle-class family that has been farming since she was a little kid and continues to do so, earning her a respectable living. She claims that she has made eight times the profit over the cost of this crop so far and has not experienced any losses. Typically, each bigha costs between two and three thousand rupees. When the harvest is ripe, the paddy is sold first, and then the plants are turned into organic manure that may be used as feed.
What is the agricultural technique?
According to the female farmer, she first creates beds by correctly leveling the land. Five plants are then planted every meter after that. Timely watering is carried out, and it is repeated once the plants begin to develop. The paddy, which is taken from the plants and sold in the market, ripens after ninety days. In the field itself, plants are used as green manure, and some farmers even turn them into animal feed.

Gudiya, a woman farmer, said that she has been farming consistently for the last four years. Currently, she is skilled at both farming and housekeeping since her husband is unable to work in the field. She has now planted paddy crops in her fields and is working on irrigation and fertilization. She also does all of the agricultural labor alone.
