Kanchanpur, Oct. 25 (RSS): The use of technology in farming has gradually increased in Belauri and other areas in the district of Kanchanpur.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Farmers have started using tractors, mini-tillers and power tillers instead of oxen and he-buffaloes to plow the fields for traditional farming.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Likewise, the local communities have made their life easier by technology for crop harvesting and grinding too.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of late, farmers have used reapers, cutters, combined harvesters and other technology more commonly in Belauri Municipality.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One of the farmers getting huge benefits due to the use of technology in traditional farming is Asre Ram Badayak of Belauri Municipality-6.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Similarly, the application of drone technology is being more popular in agriculture — for sowing seeds and controlling insects in farming.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is said that farmers are attracted towards the mechanization of farming since this is cost and time-effective and efficient.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Badayak, who is doing commercial farming since 2017, has bought agricultural inputs and equipment worth Rs 10 million.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Last year, I bought a drone at Rs 1 million as drone technology has made farming easier,” he said adding that technology has reduced the cost of farming and resulted in better production.<\/p>\n

Badayak said he also took training on commercial farming from different cities in India.<\/p>\n
