&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;The constant swing in the prices of tur dal in Telangana from one year to the next and tardy implementation of the government&amp;rsquo;s procurement mechanism have made life tough for thousands of subsistence farmers in Kodangal and Husnabad&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Husnabad and Kodangal are just 110 km from the cyber city of Hyderabad. In the last week of March, it was a beginning of a long dry spell, with temperatures hovering around the 40-degree Celsius mark. The Kharif season of 2016 had ended. The villages wore a lazy look. Given the perennial water scarcity in the region, most of the fields were dry. Nothing could be cultivated after the autumn harvest except for a few patches where summer paddy was visible, thanks to some irrigation from private bore wells.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was time for the board of directors (all women farmers) in the Husnabad Farmer Producer Company (HFPC) to take stock of the operations in a firm they had been members of since 2011. The mood was subdued because the government had closed down procurement centers of tur dal (arhar or red gram) by March 15. The procurement under the Minimum Support Price (MSP) mechanism was operational for over a month and a half.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While most farmers had sold their produce and collected payments, there was uncertainty among the women who were meeting. For them, the moot question was whether to cultivate tur in the Kharif season of 2017 that starts in May.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Existential dilemma&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For hundreds of small and marginal farmers with about an acre of land in the central Indian dry land in Maharashtra, Telangana, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh with no access to critical irrigation, the monsoon and the quality of the land determines what to cultivate, or rather, what cannot be cultivated. Husnabad is the tur belt of Telangana with a big market at Tandur known for a significant turnover, all grown by small and marginal farmers whose land cannot be used except for tur and cotton.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this point, it important to understand the global context of tur production, market surpluses and how it impacts small farmers in Telangana and, for that matter, all parts of the country.&lt;br /&gt;

In the last week of March, it was a beginning of a long dry spell, with temperatures hovering around the 40-degree Celsius mark. The Kharif season of 2016 had ended. The villages wore a lazy look. Given the perennial water scarcity in the region, most of the fields were dry. Nothing could be cultivated after the autumn harvest except for a few patches where summer paddy was visible, thanks to some irrigation from private bore wells.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was time for the board of directors (all women farmers) in the Husnabad Farmer Producer Company (HFPC) to take stock of the operations in a firm they had been members of since 2011. The mood was subdued because the government had closed down procurement centers of tur dal (arhar or red gram) by March 15. The procurement under the Minimum Support Price (MSP) mechanism was operational for over a month and a half.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While most farmers had sold their produce and collected payments, there was uncertainty among the women who were meeting. For them, the moot question was whether to cultivate tur in the Kharif season of 2017 that starts in May.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Existential dilemma&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For hundreds of small and marginal farmers with about an acre of land in the central Indian dry land in Maharashtra, Telangana, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh with no access to critical irrigation, the monsoon and the quality of the land determines what to cultivate, or rather, what cannot be cultivated. Husnabad is the tur belt of Telangana with a big market at Tandur known for a significant turnover, all grown by small and marginal farmers whose land cannot be used except for tur and cotton.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this point, it important to understand the global context of tur production, market surpluses and how it impacts small farmers in Telangana and, for that matter, all parts of the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.villagesquare.in/2017/05/01/telanganas-tur-dal-farmers-face-yet-another-uncertain-season/&quot; title=&quot;https://www.villagesquare.in/2017/05/01/telanganas-tur-dal-farmers-face-yet-another-uncertain-season/&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

&lt;em&gt;The constant swing in the prices of tur dal in Telangana from one year to the next and tardy implementation of the government&amp;rsquo;s procurement mechanism have made life tough for thousands of subsistence farmers in Kodangal and Husnabad&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Husnabad and Kodangal are just 110 km from the cyber city of Hyderabad. In the last week of March, it was a beginning of a long dry spell, with temperatures hovering around the 40-degree Celsius mark. The Kharif season of 2016 had ended. The villages wore a lazy look. Given the perennial water scarcity in the region, most of the fields were dry. Nothing could be cultivated after the autumn harvest except for a few patches where summer paddy was visible, thanks to some irrigation from private bore wells.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was time for the board of directors (all women farmers) in the Husnabad Farmer Producer Company (HFPC) to take stock of the operations in a firm they had been members of since 2011. The mood was subdued because the government had closed down procurement centers of tur dal (arhar or red gram) by March 15. The procurement under the Minimum Support Price (MSP) mechanism was operational for over a month and a half.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While most farmers had sold their produce and collected payments, there was uncertainty among the women who were meeting. For them, the moot question was whether to cultivate tur in the Kharif season of 2017 that starts in May.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Existential dilemma&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For hundreds of small and marginal farmers with about an acre of land in the central Indian dry land in Maharashtra, Telangana, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh with no access to critical irrigation, the monsoon and the quality of the land determines what to cultivate, or rather, what cannot be cultivated. Husnabad is the tur belt of Telangana with a big market at Tandur known for a significant turnover, all grown by small and marginal farmers whose land cannot be used except for tur and cotton.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this point, it important to understand the global context of tur production, market surpluses and how it impacts small farmers in Telangana and, for that matter, all parts of the country.&lt;br /&gt;

Telangana's tur dal farmers face yet another uncertain season -Ajit Kanitkar

-VillageSquare.in The constant swing in the prices of tur dal in Telangana from one year to the next and tardy implementation of the government’s procurement mechanism have made life tough for thousands of subsistence farmers in Kodangal and Husnabad Husnabad and Kodangal are just 110 km from the cyber city of Hyderabad. In the last week of March, it was a beginning of a long dry spell, with temperatures hovering around the 40-degree Celsius mark. The Kharif season of 2016 had ended. The villages wore a lazy look. Given the perennial water scarcity in the region, most of the fields were dry. Nothing could be cultivated after the autumn harvest except for a few patches where summer paddy was visible, thanks to some irrigation from private bore wells. It was time for the board of directors (all women farmers) in the Husnabad Farmer Producer Company (HFPC) to take stock of the operations in a firm they had been members of since 2011. The mood was subdued because the government had closed down procurement centers of tur dal (arhar or red gram) by March 15. The procurement under the Minimum Support Price (MSP) mechanism was operational for over a month and a half. While most farmers had sold their produce and collected payments, there was uncertainty among the women who were meeting. For them, the moot question was whether to cultivate tur in the Kharif season of 2017 that starts in May. Existential dilemma For hundreds of small and marginal farmers with about an acre of land in the central Indian dry land in Maharashtra, Telangana, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh with no access to critical irrigation, the monsoon and the quality of the land determines what to cultivate, or rather, what cannot be cultivated. Husnabad is the tur belt of Telangana with a big market at Tandur known for a significant turnover, all grown by small and marginal farmers whose land cannot be used except for tur and cotton. At this point, it important to understand the global context of tur production, market surpluses and how it impacts small farmers in Telangana and, for that matter, all parts of the country.
