Bathinda, March 21
A section of farmers has reported flattening of the wheat crop in some pockets of the region due to rain though the showers have been largely beneficial for the wheat crop.
Buta Singh, a farmer from Kotshamir village, said, “Strong winds had accompanied the rainfall last night. That led to the lodging of the crop.”
Jagtar Singh, farmer from Kotfatta village, said, “Wheat crop on a sizable chunk of my 12 acres has witnessed lodging. Now, I will have to shell out more for harvesting.” Chief Agriculture Officer, Bathinda, Gurditta Singh Sidhu, said there have been very few instances of flattening of crop.
