&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;In 5 east UP districts, where rice is primary rain-fed crop, the overwhelming sentiment is despair. For most, planting has been delayed by over a month, which means a drop in yield.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hardoi, Rae Bareli, Barabanki: &lt;/em&gt;From a distance, the sight of cattle grazing with abandon in a lush meadow appeared like that default desktop screensaver &amp;mdash; a serene landscape spanning over a hundred acres, the deep green of the fields a perfect contrast to the blue skies dotted with white clouds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Then Guddu Yadav broke the spell. A small farmer from Madhopur village in Hardoi, Uttar Pradesh, Yadav owns a couple of acres of that meadow, which is actually a vast rice cultivation area, now taken over by grass and weeds growing in abundance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Yadav and most other farmers from the village had been waiting since June for the rains, to plant rice in the ongoing Kharif crop season. By end-July, they lost hope and decided to leave the land fallow.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;They cannot afford diesel-powered pump-sets to irrigate the fields &amp;mdash; it costs around Rs 1,500 to irrigate an acre of rice field once. A prolonged dry spell means the crop may need at least ten rounds of watering till harvest. And that is a loss-making proposition.&lt;/p&gt;

Cracked earth & nasty weeds: How UP farmers are battling a drought to save their rice crop -Sayantan Bera

-ThePrint.in In 5 east UP districts, where rice is primary rain-fed crop, the overwhelming sentiment is despair. For most, planting has been delayed by over a month, which means a drop in yield. Hardoi, Rae Bareli, Barabanki: From a distance, the sight of cattle grazing with abandon in a lush meadow appeared like that default desktop screensaver — a serene landscape spanning over a hundred acres, the deep green of the fields a perfect contrast to the blue skies dotted with white clouds. Then Guddu Yadav broke the spell. A small farmer from Madhopur village in Hardoi, Uttar Pradesh, Yadav owns a couple of acres of that meadow, which is actually a vast rice cultivation area, now taken over by grass and weeds growing in abundance. Yadav and most other farmers from the village had been waiting since June for the rains, to plant rice in the ongoing Kharif crop season. By end-July, they lost hope and decided to leave the land fallow. They cannot afford diesel-powered pump-sets to irrigate the fields — it costs around Rs 1,500 to irrigate an acre of rice field once. A prolonged dry spell means the crop may need at least ten rounds of watering till harvest. And that is a loss-making proposition. Please click here to read more.
