Agriculture and its allied industry is the only sector that can produce more than 50 % production for human life, than any other sector in entire country.
Recently, last 10-15 years there is very much uncertainty of raining season. Therefore, this all effects on water resources. So, it's our responsibility for planning about water resources. We must know the importance of 'WATER'. Every farmer must have some plans to save water. We should be aware that every "DROP of WATER" is important to our future. Do something for "save water"
"There are a number of ways to save water.... And, they all start with you......everyone"
However, farmers having less irrigation (low irrigation) can also produce much better income in agriculture. They should sure about soil fertility, water resources, labor availability as well as economical condition. Farmers have to plan for a crop year, have to plan periodic crop production policy. Farmer should adopt daily or weekly, quarter and half year production system. This way, farmers can maintain constant and stable economic conditions. All farmers should choose of crops, must have 'lower risk factor', less cultivation cost, also have crop guarantee; like Silk, alovera, fruit veges. Etc. These crops can cultivate one time. Only one time Cultivation or plantation can give 5 to 15 years production. Thus, saves labor cost, cultivation cost for every year. Farmer will get maximum production /income at fewer expenses.
Overview, if, farmer has owned 5 Acres soil under low irrigation; then how to do cultivation of crops.
1. Milk production - (Reserve for green cattle feeds)- 2 Acres
Dairy farming is health &; wealth generator of farmer.
" Milk Has Something for Everyone; Drink Well, Live Well."
Production of milk not only gives daily net profit, but it can also open the doors to its concern business chain like; Bakery, sweets and ice-cream. Farmer can also sale his produced milk at best price to these dependent markets. Milk production can maintain or stables the farmer's economy. Because of its constant &; stables of prices; milk can sale at govt. fix prices or by monthly basis loose market.
It's recommend to reserve 2 to 3 acres soil for green feed cultivation, because of it production growth is possible.
Milk Production
Dairy project statistics -
For 3 buffalo 2 Cows costing 40000-45000 * 5 =2,25,000
Avg. Daily prod.= 100 LTR.
Rs 50 per LTR. About 100*50=5000 Rs.
Daily expense -Approx.
Kalna - cattle feed - 500 Rs.
Pend -cattle feed - 500 Rs.
Vairan - dry cattle feed 700 Rs.
Green Feed - 600 Rs.
Other Exp. - 500 Rs.
Total - 2800 Rs.
Daily Net income - 5000-2800= 2200 Rs.(INR) approx. and INR.66000 monthly, 66000*12 = 7,92,000 INR. Per year possible income.
2. Silk production -3 Acres
Silk is the most elegant textile in the world with natural sheen, unparalleled grandeur, and inherent affinity for dyes. High absorbance, light weight, soft touch and high durability and known as the “Queen of Textile” in the world over.
Silk, which is made from a silk worm called larvae, is a natural fiber. However, Silk fibers are strong and used made into clothes; they were also used to make parachutes in early days. Even though silk is a strong natural fiber, if wet, it loses strength up to 20 percent. Silk has poor elasticity and so if silk is stretched, it does not come back normal.
Silk Production
“Water Is Life, So Don’t Waste it and Waste Your Life.”
Land (soil) -Medium to high fertility, well drained, good PH about 7. Red or black. Less water 2 or 3 irrigation per year.
Production -
Farmer can produce silk up to Rs.2 lacks per Acer. Silkworm cocoon can sale at the Rs. 400 to 450 per kg. Market price.
Market-Silkworm Cocoon can sale at market price 30000 - 60000 /Q. At Net Market. Silk market is now available in all over India. Specially in karnatka-Banglore, Maharashtra -Jalgaon, Jalna.
"Agriculture is our wisest pursuit, it will contribute most to real wealth, good morals and happiness."
If we calculate it in annually profit, it becomes, milk income 7,92,000 INR. 6,00,000 INR. Silk income. Grand Annual Income= 13,92,000 lacks.(INR)
Ultimately, farmer can produce guaranteed crops, guaranteed income, in agriculture even he has limited water resources. With this type of income/production plan, farmers can improve his economy much better. It will give quarter, half year, yearly economic support to farmers, stables the economy.
Thus, this annual income plan can prove not only better, more than the better; depend upon cultivation and fertility of the soil.
