Weather changed, crops in danger

Hathras. The concern of farmers has increased due to the sudden change in weather patterns. Farmers have already irrigated their fields to protect themselves from frost. In such a situation, if there is heavy rain then the risk of rotting of the potato crop will increase. Besides, excess moisture can also have adverse effects on mustard and wheat crops. Farmers say that at present the potato crop is in a sensitive state. Due to continuous cloud cover and increased humidity, there is a possibility of disease in crops. According to farmers of Sadabad area, excessive rain can cause huge damage to crops. Farmers are also troubled by the drizzle in Sasani area. Here on one side digging of potatoes is going on and on the other side the mustard crop is ripe and ready. Farmers say that if the period of rain increases, both potato and mustard crops may get damaged. Farmers are hoping for clear weather.
