Until the road to Butwal became difficult, traders used to come from house to house to buy the produce of farmers. Now the corridor of Kaligand has been opened and a road can be reached within four hours, but nowadays traders stopped coming to the village.

Traders who come looking for mula seeds to be planted in the tarikhet of Jaimini Municipality Ward No. 1 have stopped coming to the farmer's fields after they started selling hybrid seeds. After the traders stopped coming, the farmers also stopped producing. 

Local farmer Moti Prasad Paudel said that the young generation is not ready to work and farmers have left farming after hybrids are cheaper than local seeds. Until seven years ago, millions of mula seeds were produced in Tarikhet. 

Paudel remembers that he alone sold 6,000 kilos of mula seeds in a year. The mula planted after drying the paddy would produce within four months.

For 24 years from 2052, farmers earned millions by planting mula in Tarkhet. The mula planted after the introduction of paddy gave a good yield in winter. Locals Dilli Prasad Acharya, Maya Nepali and Moti Prasad Paudel and others remember that they earned more than 500,000 annually by selling the seeds of Mula. With the child's money, they ran the house, educated their children. 

Some of them sold children's seeds and built houses in the city. They didn't even have to look for a market to sell the seeds. Traders used to come from house to house. From the year 2052, the Ministry of Agriculture's 'Koshi Hill Vegetable Project' and 'Seed Seed Promotion Program' declared Tarikhet to be fertile land and made it a mula paddy. 

The seeds produced here used to be purchased by seed stores including Kathmandu and Bhairahawa. With the permission of the Ministry and District Agricultural Development Office, traders used to come to the farm to buy seeds. 

After 2076, seeds gradually stopped being sold and the field here became barren in winter. Now the planting of mula is stopped in Tarikhet. About 800 saplings planted in the land have now shrunk to two/four saplings. That too is not for sale but one/two farmers have used it at home only. 

The hybrid varieties of vegetables and seeds that came to the market shattered all the dreams of the farmers. "Hybrid seeds are cheap, the ones we produce are expensive," Paudel said, "After getting into the habit of buying and eating, they are less likely to suffer." He said that the price received by farmers has also decreased.

He said that the seeds of mula, which cost 150 per kg, are available in the market at 100 per kg. After planting the hybrid, it does not produce seeds the following year.

Some farmers reached Madhes due to migration. After the young people entered the Gulf and Europe, they advised their parents not to work. Hybrid seeds are only for once. The seeds grown by farmers could be used again and again.

Many lands are barren in winter after the seeds are no longer sold. Some have planted vegetables and wheat. "There is no income like before, this farm is not important," Paudel said, "Neither agriculture is interested, nor is the local government paying attention, now the history of Tarikhet will be erased." He said that he had planted potatoes on some land.

The practice of plowing the field while picking seeds has also disappeared these days. Local Kashiram Acharya commented that there has been an increase in the practice of selling some land as land, and keeping the fields barren by eating besaha. "The practice of growing weeds and eating weeds in the fields has increased," Acharya said.

He commented that the vegetable and hybrid seeds of Terai have started entering the Kushmisera market, which sends rice, corn and vegetables to other places. Rajendra Silwal, head of Krishi Gyan Kendra, said that the relationship between farmers and traders has broken down due to the decrease in production. Apart from that, since the practice of selling seeds only after lab testing has become established, traders have not shown interest.
