Semi-farmed maize cultivation begins

Kudige, Mar. 8: Farmers are engaged in growing semi-farmed maize crop in the rural areas of Kushalnagar taluk with a view to giving more emphasis to dairy farming depending on tube well water.

In the wake of the water shortage in the Harangi canal, more than 50 sub-villages including Kudige, Hebbale, Shirangala, Torenur, Aluwara, Siddalingapura, including Kushalnagar taluk, have started growing semi-farmed maize crop.

Farmers are engaged in maize cultivation as maize is the most important food for the cows of farmers who are mostly engaged in dairy farming in the taluk.

This time, along with the modernization and repair of the Harangi main canal, the repair work of the sub-canals is being carried out for the first time, and the groundwater level is already declining. However, hundreds of farmers in more than 50 sub-villages under 8 gram panchayats of Kushalnagar taluk are seeing their economic level improve by engaging in dairy farming and donating milk to milk producers' cooperatives. Using water from bore wells, the farmers are cultivating semi-subsistence maize in the hope that by feeding hybrid cows with green grass along with dry grass, they will produce more milk.
