Question

describe the work of a farmer with one hectare of land​

Answer 1

Answer:

The farmer with a small land of 1 hectare needs less capital to prepare his land. He uses traditional seeds, animals to plough, less labour, no machines, less chemical fertilisers or manure. He does irrigation manually and is helped by his family members to do the work of harvesting. The production from 1 hectare of his land is consumed by his family.

Answer 2

Explanation:

farmer having 1 hectare of land for farming is called a subsistence farmer because 1 hectare of land is too lese;for even the sustenance of a small family. • Production Is very low and it is very difficult for the farmer to provide for his family. Apart from working on his own field he has to work on the field of the rich farmers or work as a casual labourer to survive. • The small farmer has no irrigation facilities. • He has no working capital so he is also not able to buy modern machinery, HYV seeds or insecticides and pesticides. • In the absence of capital, he has to take loan from moneylender who charges a high interest rate. He is rarely able to repay the loan and eventually falls into a debt trap.
