Reports about the farming conditions in India are raising the concerns of everyone. Reports state that total national agriculture produce is decreasing with each passing year while the population is increasing fast. The reasons in decrease of agriculture produce are many, so are within human control while some are not. However, by using proper farm machinery we can increase the agriculture output from the shrinking farming land.
The economical condition of majority of Indian farmers is not very sound. Reasons are many. Illiteracy, following the traditional farming method, nature of keeping distance from new farming techniques, weak economical condition and less financial help from local institutions are just few to name. Some institutions offer seed, chemicals and fertilizers at reduced price. The farmers can pay the price of these essentials at the time of crop selling.
But, without having adequate agricultural machines even the best quality fertilizers and chemicals wouldn't deliver the claimed and expected results. Having all the machines in one go is not possible because all of these are massive costly; and, many of us will need financial help from banks or private institutions. To add on agricultural machines is a continuous process. When list seems completed after many years, we see new equipments offering the benefits of advancement of farming techniques. Therefore, it is must to be alert about the new arrivals and their suitability.
Every new arrival may not be of great use for you. Every machine is designed with a particular purpose. Therefore, before heading for any identify your immediate and most rewarding requirements. Do the
financial planning accepting the realities and thinking about the adverse conditions. It is not good to take financial help beyond repaying capacity. In some small countries, farmers make a group and buy the farm machinery jointly to serve personally common purposes; thus, the financial burden is divided among all.
The agricultural machines can be divided according to their respective utility. For soil cultivation, we can consider Rotavator, Cultivator , Cultipacker , Chisel plow and Harrow etc. For planting purpose, think about Plastic mulch layer, Potato planter, Seed drill, Air seeder, Precision drill and
Transplanter etc like farm machinery.
