Most of the people say that there is no profit in farming now. The income has become very less compared to the cost. Many a times, farmers suffer loss due to not getting proper rate. But if farming is done with the help of hard work and new technology, then this land starts spewing gold. You just have to have some patience for this. Today we will talk about a farmer from Rajasthan, who has convinced big businessmen from farming. They are earning lakhs of rupees only from farming.
Actually, we are talking about Jetharam Kodecha, a resident of Bhimda village in Barmer district. Earlier, he used to cultivate traditional crops, but he did not earn that much in this. After this he changed the method of farming and started gardening. He is doing pomegranate cultivation since 2016. This changed his fortunes. Pomegranate grown in his farm is being supplied to Maharashtra, Calcutta and Bangladesh.
