Tough for farmers
Dear Editor,
We are aware of the financial crisis facing agriculturists for the last three years. With God’s grace, this year’s kharif season turned out to be a boon for crop growers, be it paddy or cotton. The yield, procurement and rates offered were what the farmer wanted. But their plight continues as they have to stand in long queues to withdraw money, that too when the sowing of rabi crop has picked up. They are poor and don’t have personal links to entertain them even after working hours and give the maximum possible amount possible. I hope demonetisation is successful and not just a Pyrrhic victory.
