Farmers gearing up for season, are expected to go for cotton in a big way as early monsoon is expected to favour the crop.The government had targeted cotton in over 55 lakh acres this year.
Hyderabad: The skies have started opening up with the southwest monsoons making an early advent bringing cheer to the farmers in the State. But the preparatory operations for Vanakalam (Kharif) are set to get underway on an uncertain note on different counts.Farmers have been complaining about short supply in seed, especially the sought after varieties of cotton seed.
The delay in disbursal of the crop investment support has become another major concern. Even as the crop insurance coverage has been promised from Kharif this year, the State is yet to finalise the modalities for implementing it from the Vanakalam crops.
