After a long period of drought, in various places of Bara, the rains since Saturday have brought relief to the paddy fields where the rice paddies were broken after planting, while the dry fields that could not be planted are wet.

As there is no rain in the fields, the water freezes, so the farmers are still doing the plowing. According to the head of Krishi Gyan Kendra Bara, Rajnarayan Sah, 15 percent of the district has not yet been planted due to lack of rain. 

He said that only 85 percent of the rice cultivation on 46,000 hectares of land in the district has been planted. "This planting is not done by rain, canal, river or Kulopaini water, but all the water is drawn from the ground by means of motor and pumpset using tubel (boring)," he said. Planting has not been done in the fields connected to Dasgaja. He said that many wards of Simraungadh, Pacharuta, Suvarna, Devtal, Kalaiya, Feta, Bishrampur have not yet been planted. According to him, wherever there are tube pipes and electricity facilities, farmers have gone to plant as much as possible. But even in that planting, the thread is broken.

"This year there is no rain," Ashok Prasad Jaiswal, a farmer of Simraungarh Municipality-11 Bhagpanpur said, "Due to no rain, he had to give his one and a half bigha field to others in Bataiya (Adhiya). Since I didn't have a motor, pump set and tube, I gave the field to others when the hope of rain died.'
