Nice business model. some smart Punjabi farmers are tilling he has been doing it since the 2018. If he can do it why can’t others ? This farmer said it will decompose with in a week. Why is it a bad business model ? It is organic and has no pollution. Bhupinder Singh, 59, who cultivates 30 acres in Badarpur, the last village of Mohali district, has not been burning paddy stubble since 2018. Instead, he mixes it with soil using an MB plough, a tillage equipment, after which the land is ready for sowing the next crop — wheat. He says that after it is buried, stubble residue gets decomposed within a week. “With the absorption of stubble in soil, the consumption of fertiliser has dropped. Earlier, we used to use potash for wheat crop which we no longer do,” he says. “Farmers do not want to burn stubble. When a grower finds his next crop is getting delayed, he resorts to setting crop residue on fire. Otherwise he is as much concerned about the environment as anyone else,” he adds. https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/chandigarh-news/how-some-farmers-in-punjab-are-cashing-in-on-stubble-instead-of-burning-it-101665347458072-amp.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The time period they have is very small, so burn is the easiest thing to do. Wrong but easy. Another underline issue is our ancestors ate millets which was the right crop for India and water resources. Now nobody is doing that and that is a big problem as rice consumes much more water.

Khalistani zameendars who protested the hand outs from the govt stopping and they not being able to destroy the lands of punjab anymore....why should i mind my language about them ? But come back to the point- you were WRONG when you said millet is the right grain for India, given that entire ganges valley has been rice dominant in agriculture for thousands of years. Its only spread westwards from the Ganges basin ( meaning, into Punjab, parts of Rajasthan and Haryana) in the last 50 years. So time for you to retract that statement.

Demand exceeded the supply so other states were asked to grow rice. I personally want Punjab not to have anything to do with agriculture, but Central Government forced their hand.

No formal education,but you wanna play master at farm laws, corporate law, geopolitics, etc. Looks like you didnt learn the maryaada of bharatiya to stfu if you dont have gyaan. No wonder you are so retarded and the whipping boy of this forum. If you have no formal education, you are very unlikely to be hired by my company, so don't worry. So....govt forced khali khopri zameendars to grow crops....which is why they were forcing government to give them hafta for growing crops ? Does your khaali khopri understand that this is illogical and contradictory statements ? Its about time we fined stubble burning and trust me, that will come into play in next central government cycle when we win. Also, Punjab was never asked to grow rice. Dont make up bullshit to support your khali khopri gaddar friends. Edited December 3, 2023 by Muloghonto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
