Training cum exposure visit has been organized at BadaJualwaniya on 29th March, 2014, for all selected model farmers and other interested farmers. Training has been facilitated by F.C. and all C.C.s. Training has been conducted at our model farmer’s farm, named Raichand Ji.
First, we welcomed all participants and after a formal introduction, we asked our farmer Raichand Ji to share his agricultural expertise with farmers. He told us seed management, mixed cropping, hedawadi plantation, fluctuation of agricultural production and prices etc. He told that these all problems can be solved in a collective manner, like kisan club, CBO etc., because here farmers can discuss their problems and take appropriate steps. After that, we invited farmers to ask their problems and other aspects of agriculture. Appropriate solutions have been told by all facilitators, to farmers.
Farmers have been invited for exposure visit of Raichand farm. There were many fruit and flower plants along with mixed cropping. Farmers were motivated and asking their queries to farm owner Raichand. He told them all about his practices and motivated them to do the same. He told his annual agricultural income is more than Rs. 4,00,000 and also he can serve better nutrient to his children and grand son for better health (His case study has been attached with this report).
After exposure visit, lunch has been served. Food was completely traditional and we all liked it. During lunch, we discussed about traditional seeds and farming practices. We told farmers that it is full of nutrients and easy to grow. Some farmers asked for traditional seeds, which have been given by us later. Some farmers were ready to grow a fruit garden and asked us for support, we told them to link with different government schemes.
Farmers were very excited about mixed cropping and hedawadi plantation concept and decided to do the same. We can say just before harvesting, our training will give us definitely positive results.
