It is just April, and already it looks like peak summer.
Subbu had been mentioning that it is too hot over there. Water is very scarce. No wind and hence no production. Neighborhood ponds have dried. We have to keep the farm going.
One rain would bring some relief. It did indeed rain yesterday some 7 km away from the farm. Now there are no clouds even. They had purchased water yesterday.
Worse days are ahead. Hmmm Let me think......
The overall scene in India is not that great. All rivers are dry. The sand is being looted by organised crime with help of state for construction. The water holding capacity of many of the rivers and ponds are Nil. Ponds and lakes are occupied, not maintained or encroached.
There is draught like situation in every state. In Maharashtra for getting a bucket of water, people stand in long queues. Govt is thinking of getting water in train. There is riot and 144 in place in few districts. Same situation in Andhra. People are migrating to Delhi. Agriculture had been ignored by present government from the beginning.
