ekunadam_enkanna Posted May 9, 2019 Report Posted May 9, 2019 Well, even in the states, farmers won't make much. Usually output is about $600 per acre. Input costs about $300. Subtract rent per acre, about $200 to $250 So, one is left with $75 per acre. One needs to rent 1000 acres to pull about $75k per annum. In 1870, 50% of Americans (19M folks) were employed in Agriculture. Today, it is about 2.6M or about 1% of USA population. In India, aquifers have been depleted since 1990. To recharge these aquifers requires millions of years. Quote

I come from an area, where we don't get any water from canals. So, that's why our area sends people to Indian Army for every job they have, since Army doesn't have any stupid reservation policy as is the case in admissions and in other govt jobs. Even army recruitment camps have tougher standards for people from our area, as so many people (from the so-called upper caste people, but poor otherwise) try their luck after passing 10th grade. As mentioned in another thread, I had some high speed bore well driller to dig 600 feet well for domestic purpose. No water. It was around Jan 2nd, 2019. By 1995, the water level dropped below 200 feet; however, in 1990, it was about 100 feet. 70 years old folks in our remember their teen years without any drinking water issues; they never took any water to clean after taking dump. Even in my case, in every summer, I used to go for swimming in agricultural wells. Again, people before 1990 in our area farmed for subsistence: ate whatever they grew; stored grains for at least one year; sold some excess just to buy new clothes for festivals, buy things that couldn't be produced by oneself. Even we had some unused wooden khaadi spinning, as the story goes, this was used by my great grand parents. Since 1990s, villagers from our area moved from subsistence, one season, crops to commercial, two seasons, crops. The typical crops before 1990 were: bajra, korra, variga, some paddy if you have an agri well, toor dal, some mustard seeds, groundnuts, etc. Then, came: sunflower, cotton, etc. It just took a decade to feel the aftermath of this aquifer depletion. Took another two decades for people to struggle to get drinking water: now, people get water from tankers. The water from 700 ft deep have other issues: fluoride. People who went to work as soldiers, drivers, etc in Indian Army, have moved from villages to towns, even to cities. After retirement, they have taken another job in cities, and now treat their kids as "race horses": race = education; horses = kids. Some have succeeded in it: bets on these race horses have been partially paid off. Those who failed in their bets have taken different route: move to Hyderabad, Bangalore, and do some work there, thereby eventually settle there. Quote
