Data from the state’s agriculture department shows that the production of wheat in the region has remained stagnant in the last four years.

Rahul Singh Tomar is a farmer at Raisalpur village in the Narmadapuram district of Madhya Pradesh. The village is part of the Narmada valley and is famous for the fertile black soil that yields high-quality wheat.

“The soil in our village is different,” Tomar told Mongabay-India. “Crops from here look different from the crops grown in other parts of the district. There is ample water for irrigation and we are able to grow three crops in a year.”

Right after saying this, lines of worry emerged on Tomar’s face. Despite the fertile soil and sufficient water supply, the average crop yield is not as much as they have expected. “This year, all the conditions – weather, wind, water – were favourable for a good yield,” said Tomar. “But the yield of wheat was not up to our expectations.”

Swadesh Dubey, a scientist at the local Krishi Vigyan Kendra, an agricultural extension centre, said, “This year, the weather was favourable for wheat production. After the first good rain, water was replenished at all sources of irrigation.
