Question

differences between Indian farming and
USA farming

Answer 1

There are many differences in Indian farming and US farming methods.

1. India is basically an agriculture-based country with 80% of its population in rural areas, whereas in the US, only a small number of people are involved in farming.

2. Most Indian farmers have simply continued their father’s professions.This is not the case in the U.S. American farmers are mostly well educated and will probably have specialized in some area of agriculture in college.

3. Indian farming is very much labor intensive, and most farmers use traditional methods of farming like plowing with bullocks. U.S. farming is mostly capital intensive with large-scale use of heavy and advanced machinery.

4. Indian farming is still very much dependent on the weather and, consequently, is able to grow only two to three crops in a year, which is restricted to either rice or potatoes. On the other hand, U.S. farms are able to grow multiple crops in one year such as soybeans, beet root, in addition to wheat, etc. U.S. farmers take advantage of scientific and technological innovations and facilities to enhance their production levels.
