UP farmers hopeful of rich dividends due to bumper wheat crop

Farmers in Uttar Pradesh are a happy lot these days as they are hoping to reap rich dividends from bumper wheat crop this year. The inflation and bad crop acted as double- edged- sword for farmers last year, but this time, the things look brighter. The farmers of the region are excited about the profits they will incur. Last year, the drought had affected the crops but this year the rains and winter have been benign, giving rise to the expectation of a good yield.
