ha....the poor farmers....

The heavy summer rain is showering sufferings on the farmers especially of kuttanad. Now its time to reap and the harvest were expected to be good. But since the rain was heavy, it all gets destroyed and there are no sufficient laborers. Farmers in the state's 'rice bowl' Kuttanad have suffered the damage to piles of reaped paddy bunches as the inclement weather came in the way of moving them to drier areas to start threshing and winnowing.

Ready-to-harvest paddy in a stretch of 20,000 acres had been damaged in Alappuzha, Thrissur and Kottayam districts. The loss is likely to mount as the farmers were finding it difficult to start harvesting as rains continued to batter these areas.

The government and communist parties will not allow using machines. I feel its utter stupidity. The ministers are visiting the place and the press is giving publicity. Actually Who is there to see the suffering of these farmers???….GOD alone.

Now the central government may announce some 20-30 crores as relief. I believe the officers and politicians share a good amount of it and when the farmer approaches, it will be a long process. And at last will somehow manage to get some 10-30% of his lost dreams. THIS IS THE USUAL STORY. And its going to repeat this time too.the farmers will again commit suicide….

The unwise agricultural methods (time)- whole dependency on monsoon, weather etc has to be changed. And moreover the ugly political stuff. I hate it.
