The interest of farmers towards modern agricultural machinery is increasing in Doti. Recently, the farmers here have started using modern agricultural tools such as tractors and threshers for plowing fields, threshing rice, threshing wheat etc.
Farmers are more attracted to this machine because the work is done quickly and the labor cost is less. Ganga Dutt Awasthi, office head of Krishi Gyan Kendra Doti, said that since it is faster and easier to plow fields with a hand tractor than plowing with oxen, the interest towards modern agricultural equipment is increasing day by day.
The number of people raising bulls in the village has started to decrease. That's why it is said that farmers' attraction and demand for hand tractors for plowing fields has increased.
Farmers of Doti are happy after digging fields became easier with the help of tractors. Jagat Bista, a farmer of Dipayal Silagadi Municipality-5, says that with the increase in the use of tractors, the work of planting crops and washing the soil has become very easy. There was also a compulsion to keep the fields barren. After starting to use tractors to plow the fields, the problem of oxen and farmers has disappeared,' he said.
Farmers have experience that when plowing with tractors, the soil of the field becomes loose. Farmer Mukund Negi of Dipayal said that after getting a tractor , the problem of not getting oxen during farming has disappeared. As most of the men go abroad, there are no farmers to work in the village, nor oxen for plowing. Instead of oxen, hands plow the fields Tractor has become an easy means,' Negi said, 'We used to have to wait for oxen during June, November, Chaite paddy planting, corn planting and vegetable planting. now tractor has made it easy to farm on time.'
With increasing modernization in agriculture, the number of farmers keeping oxen for plowing fields in the district is decreasing. Organizations and the government are also providing such devices targeting farmers.
The chief Awasthi said that by removing the traditional farming system, farmers are being made professional and agricultural equipment is being distributed to increase the use of technology in the agricultural sector. "We are distributing agricultural equipment to make the agricultural profession simple and easy by using technology in the agricultural sector," Awasthi said.
On the one hand, it has made it easier for farmers to produce food, on the other hand, the farmers say that the cost of production is also decreasing.
