Answer:

(i) A farmer having 1 hectare of land for farming is called a subsistence farmer because 1 hectare of land is too less for even the sustenance of a small family.  

(ii) Production is very low and it is very difficult for the farmer to provide for his family.  

(iii) Apart from working in his own field, he has to work in the field of the rich farmers or work as a casual labourer to survive.  

(iv) The small farmer has no irrigation facilities.  

(v) He has no working capital so he is also not able to buy modern machinery, HYV seeds or insecticides, and pesticides.  

(vi) In the absence of capital, he has to take a loan from moneylender who charges a high-interest rate. He is rarely able to repay the loan and eventually falls into a debt trap

A farmer with 1 hectare of land will be called a small farmer. Since the area for cultivation is small, the outcome may also not be high. So in order to be able to yield the land in the best possible way, the farmer needs money. This money is borrowed from a moneylender at a high interest rate and at times may also have to work as a farm labourer for the moneylender. Once the farm is cultivated, the produce has to be divided for personal use and for selling in the market. Whatever profit is earned, the farmer has to usually give it away to the moneylender, and little sum of money is left for the use of the farmer himself. The only help a small farmer gets is that of his family members.
