Description Not Available
The role of mechanization in raising the income of farmer through
reduced cost of operation, reduction in drudgery and
improvement in timelessness of operation has been proven time
and again in farmers fields. However the mechanization process
usually involves capital inputs for purchase of mechanical power
sources and improved implements. The small and marginal
farmers are usually not in a position to invest money needed to
purchase costly farm power and machinery even if it is subsidized.
Due to this reason farmers only accept technology if it is low cost
or if it is feasible and available under custom hiring. In many
cases however, small farmers are not in a position to pay in cash
for the expenses for custom hiring. Therefore they continue to
adopt traditional tools and technologies used by them. This is one
of the reasons why this section of the farmers are conservative in
nature and not ready to adopt the new technologies.
Under this situation, one way out is to adopt a step by step
approach to mechanization. Improved animal drawn implements
provide a low cost alternative to i'armers to enhance their income
through lower cost of operation. This is because adoption of
improved yokes and harnesses with improved implements results
in increased field capacity thereby reducing cost of operation per
hectare. The increased earnings can then be further reinvested.
By so doing farmer can ultimately go in for complete
mechanization with power operated implements and machinery.
A typical case of an enterprising farmer of Odisha is
presented who adopted improved ar.imal drawn implements and
with his additional earnings adopted completely mechanized
farming with power operated machinery within a space of 7-8
years. Improved animal drawn implements, served as a stepping
stone to completely mechanized farming..
