    Rural Research Project: Ranu
    (MICA, 2008) Agarwal, Dipti; Chitta, Himabindu; Nair, Radhika; Amin, Sheena
    On visiting a farm about 5 kms before Ranu village, we had a chance to talk to the farmer (Naginbhai Tribhovandas Patel) and the workers (Raojibhai Ranchodbhai Barya and Ambubhai Maganbhai Solanki) there. Bhikhabhai was sitting on his wooden bed smoking a beedi. He had 4 well‐fed buffalos and 1 healthy cow. He said that the cow gave 6 litres of milk daily and the buffalo gave 5 litres of milk twice a day. The main crop on this farm was kapas or cotton. They explained to us the stages of cotton growing. On sowing the seeds, the yellow flower is the one that is first born, then turns red and turns into a fruit which yields the cotton crop. Bhikabhai picks up cotton once a week and sells 1 quintal for Rs. 26.00 in Ranu. Raojibhai is 45 years old and Ambubhai is 60 years. Both are from Ranu village and work on the farm from 8 AM to 6 PM with a lunch break from 12 to 3 PM. They water the field thrice a month and use a fertiliser called Monocoto Nyan Sulphate twice a month before irrigation.
