Madhya Pradesh farmers were craving rain; now they fear too much of it -Pooja Yadav

-Down to Earth

Rainfall status yo-yos from 23% deficit to 20% excess in a month

Farmers in Madhya Pradesh, who had been craving rain, are now afraid of too much of it. Their crops of maize and soyabean have either been destroyed or have turned yellow due to the rains.

Flat fields have turned slushy. Crop seedlings have been destroyed due to soil erosion in the state’s hilly areas. Bunds meant for paddy cultivation have been broken and washed away.

This is the situation in half of the state’s districts including Narmadapuram, Harda, Dhar, Chhindwara, Betul, Bhopal, Sehore and Vidisha.

The state had received 23 per cent less rainfall than normal till June 28, 2022. But then, drought turned to deluge, with the state receiving 388.5 millimetres (mm) by July 20.
