It seems that that there is a complete breakdown of trust between the Union government and farmers. The multiple rounds of negotiations, offer to negotiate clause by clause of the farms’ bills fail to convince the farmers. As a result, there is no sign that the sit-in by the farmers around Delhi’s border would go up in the near future. It appears to have tuned into a question of ego on both sides.

In this background, the Union budget is to be presented. Understandably, the government will make every effort to pacify the farmers in the upcoming budget, notwithstanding the fact that her fiscal space is limited due to Covid impact.

From the farmers’ perspective, the general view is that the farm bills will hurt all spectrum of farmers. However, a view often said is that this agitation is led by the medium and large farmers and small/marginal farmers are not active in this agitation and they look forward to the implementation for farm bills.

However, there is flaw in this argument. Is crop agriculture the sole source of livelihood of small/marginal farmers? The answer is negative. As Report of the Committee on Doubling Farmers’ Income Volume II indicates, at the lower end of the spectrum of land size, which constitute the small/marginal farmers, wages and salaries constitute the principal source of income. It may be noted that the shares of income from livestock decline as land sizes increase, and vice versa.
