&lt;em&gt;Ashok Sonule and his family struggle every day to feed twelve mouths. But, whereas most farmers in the vicinity have barren fields, his are lush with jowar. And what does he do with it? Leaves the entire harvest to feed birds. He has not even installed a scarecrow and ensures the water bowl is always full for the thirsty birds. Read on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), Ministry of Home Affairs report, 5650 farmers committed suicide in 2014. One of the most prominent causes for farmer suicide was &amp;lsquo;failure of crops.&amp;rsquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From among these 5650 unfortunate farmers, 2568 farmers were from Maharashtra. The untimely rain followed by drought in this state was a major cause for this calamity.&lt;br /&gt;
In this situation, where farmers are dying because they cannot feed themselves and their families, can you imagine someone who leaves his entire crop in the field to feed birds?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, birds! This farmer, instead of putting a scarecrow in his field, invites birds to feed on his crop yield.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ashok Sonule is a farm labourer in Gadmudshingi village, which is about 15 kms from Kolhapur, Maharashtra. Both his sons, Prakash and Vilas, and brother Balu, also work as labourers on other&amp;rsquo;s farms in order to feed a family of twelve.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The family owns a small piece of barren land, just 0.25 acres, which has never earned them even one meal due to scarcity of water. The farms near this land too hardly yield any crops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This year too, like he does every year, Sonule sowed seeds of jowar in his own land in the month of June. This year too, like in other years, he did not expect much to come of it. The severe drought in the months that followed convinced him that he was right &amp;ndash; there would be hardly any crop to speak of. The neighboring farms too were going through the same crisis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Imagine his surprise then, when within a few months the jowar crop grew, ripened and was ready to reap.&lt;br /&gt;

But, whereas most farmers in the vicinity have barren fields, his are lush with jowar. And what does he do with it? Leaves the entire harvest to feed birds. He has not even installed a scarecrow and ensures the water bowl is always full for the thirsty birds. Read on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), Ministry of Home Affairs report, 5650 farmers committed suicide in 2014. One of the most prominent causes for farmer suicide was &amp;lsquo;failure of crops.&amp;rsquo;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From among these 5650 unfortunate farmers, 2568 farmers were from Maharashtra. The untimely rain followed by drought in this state was a major cause for this calamity.&lt;br /&gt;In this situation, where farmers are dying because they cannot feed themselves and their families, can you imagine someone who leaves his entire crop in the field to feed birds?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, birds! This farmer, instead of putting a scarecrow in his field, invites birds to feed on his crop yield.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ashok Sonule is a farm labourer in Gadmudshingi village, which is about 15 kms from Kolhapur, Maharashtra. Both his sons, Prakash and Vilas, and brother Balu, also work as labourers on other&amp;rsquo;s farms in order to feed a family of twelve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The family owns a small piece of barren land, just 0.25 acres, which has never earned them even one meal due to scarcity of water. The farms near this land too hardly yield any crops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This year too, like he does every year, Sonule sowed seeds of jowar in his own land in the month of June. This year too, like in other years, he did not expect much to come of it. The severe drought in the months that followed convinced him that he was right &amp;ndash; there would be hardly any crop to speak of. The neighboring farms too were going through the same crisis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine his surprise then, when within a few months the jowar crop grew, ripened and was ready to reap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thebetterindia.com/37439/drought-prone-maharashtra-farmer-leaves-crop-feed-birds/?&quot; title=&quot;http://www.thebetterindia.com/37439/drought-prone-maharashtra-farmer-leaves-crop-feed-birds/?&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;TheBetterIndia.com, 4 November, 2015 &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

Leaves the entire harvest to feed birds. He has not even installed a scarecrow and ensures the water bowl is always full for the thirsty birds. Read on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), Ministry of Home Affairs report, 5650 farmers committed suicide in 2014. One of the most prominent causes for farmer suicide was &amp;lsquo;failure of crops.&amp;rsquo;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, birds! This farmer, instead of putting a scarecrow in his field, invites birds to feed on his crop yield.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ashok Sonule is a farm labourer in Gadmudshingi village, which is about 15 kms from Kolhapur, Maharashtra. Both his sons, Prakash and Vilas, and brother Balu, also work as labourers on other&amp;rsquo;s farms in order to feed a family of twelve.&lt;br /&gt;

Read on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), Ministry of Home Affairs report, 5650 farmers committed suicide in 2014.

The untimely rain followed by drought in this state was a major cause for this calamity.&lt;br /&gt;In this situation, where farmers are dying because they cannot feed themselves and their families, can you imagine someone who leaves his entire crop in the field to feed birds?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, birds! This farmer, instead of putting a scarecrow in his field, invites birds to feed on his crop yield.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ashok Sonule is a farm labourer in Gadmudshingi village, which is about 15 kms from Kolhapur, Maharashtra. Both his sons, Prakash and Vilas, and brother Balu, also work as labourers on other&amp;rsquo;s farms in order to feed a family of twelve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The family owns a small piece of barren land, just 0.25 acres, which has never earned them even one meal due to scarcity of water. The farms near this land too hardly yield any crops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This year too, like he does every year, Sonule sowed seeds of jowar in his own land in the month of June. This year too, like in other years, he did not expect much to come of it. The severe drought in the months that followed convinced him that he was right &amp;ndash; there would be hardly any crop to speak of. The neighboring farms too were going through the same crisis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine his surprise then, when within a few months the jowar crop grew, ripened and was ready to reap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thebetterindia.com/37439/drought-prone-maharashtra-farmer-leaves-crop-feed-birds/?&quot; title=&quot;http://www.thebetterindia.com/37439/drought-prone-maharashtra-farmer-leaves-crop-feed-birds/?&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;TheBetterIndia.com, 4 November, 2015 &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;,

&lt;em&gt;Ashok Sonule and his family struggle every day to feed twelve mouths. But, whereas most farmers in the vicinity have barren fields, his are lush with jowar. And what does he do with it? Leaves the entire harvest to feed birds. He has not even installed a scarecrow and ensures the water bowl is always full for the thirsty birds. Read on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), Ministry of Home Affairs report, 5650 farmers committed suicide in 2014. One of the most prominent causes for farmer suicide was &amp;lsquo;failure of crops.&amp;rsquo;&lt;br /&gt;

In this situation, where farmers are dying because they cannot feed themselves and their families, can you imagine someone who leaves his entire crop in the field to feed birds?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, birds! This farmer, instead of putting a scarecrow in his field, invites birds to feed on his crop yield.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ashok Sonule is a farm labourer in Gadmudshingi village, which is about 15 kms from Kolhapur, Maharashtra. Both his sons, Prakash and Vilas, and brother Balu, also work as labourers on other&amp;rsquo;s farms in order to feed a family of twelve.&lt;br /&gt;

Ashok Sonule is a farm labourer in Gadmudshingi village, which is about 15 kms from Kolhapur, Maharashtra. Both his sons, Prakash and Vilas, and brother Balu, also work as labourers on other&rsquo;s farms in order to feed a family of twelve.<br />
<br />
The family owns a small piece of barren land, just 0.25 acres, which has never earned them even one meal due to scarcity of water. The farms near this land too hardly yield any crops.<br />
<br />
This year too, like he does every year, Sonule sowed seeds of jowar in his own land in the month of June. This year too, like in other years, he did not expect much to come of it. The severe drought in the months that followed convinced him that he was right &ndash; there would be hardly any crop to speak of. The neighboring farms too were going through the same crisis.<br />
<br />
Imagine his surprise then, when within a few months the jowar crop grew, ripened and was ready to reap.<br />
