Question

Why is there a little profit in farming now?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Significantly, the report cites federal policies as a key reason for holding farm incomes back. In the policy trade-off between prices consumers pay and prices farmers get, government trade policies had the effect of keeping farm incomes low.

Answer 2

The profits in farming have decreased for farmers due to increased costs of farming.

Explanation:

There has been a visible decline in the proceeds earned by farmers from their products as compared to what they earned before. The various reasons are:

1. The prices for raw materials such as seeds, fertilizers, and other important chemicals have increased significantly. The prices of the final product have not increased. Due to this, the farmers are unable to cover their expenses from what they earn.
2. Moreover, lands have become less fertile due to which their produce is lower.
3. A number of middlemen also charge huge amounts of money and the farmers are not paid.
