Hi,
I am exploring possibility of increasing production in my rice fields.
I am newbie to farming itself.
Basically I want to start learning about best practices for managing paddy fields.
Do you have any content to share.
I am engineer as a professional and does not possess enough background of farming biology but I am from a farmer’s family wanting to improve standard of life for my rest of family through farming. My family own a farm ( 8 acre land ) in Maharashtra , India and we cultivate it every year.
What you cultivate? And if rice what crop do you cultivate?
