Omg farmers stop cultivating gram due to terror of monkeys deer pigs

Report: Anuj Gautam

Sea: In Bundelkhand, the farmers of the areas adjacent to the forest are so troubled by the animals that they are gradually being forced to give up farming. Animals like monkeys, deer, boar and nilgai keep an eye on the crops, as soon as the farmer leaves the field even for an hour or two, these robbers of the crops do their job.

In some villages of Sagar, the menace of monkeys is so much that hundreds of farmers have stopped cultivating gram. He says that for two-three years the problem is increasing. Now, along with working hard in the field, the challenge has arisen for the farmers to save their crops from wild animals. Afraid to send the children to the farm alone. At the same time, separate time has to be taken out for guarding the fields.

Gram cultivation stopped with one opinion
Farmers say that when we used to cultivate gram, then if monkeys had reached the field even for a short time, they would have eaten the entire gram. That’s why everyone stopped cultivating gram with one opinion, so that monkeys don’t come. But, now they are also destroying wheat crops. Tell that due to lack of water in this area, farmers used to cultivate gram, lentils, mustard so that they could get some crops from their fields and they would be able to live, but sometimes due to excessive rains and sometimes due to drought. The crops got ruined but now there is more danger from these animals.

Complaint on CM helpline also
The farmers who have water facilities in the villages are cultivating wheat, but the terror of monkeys is such that they come and play in the entire field. Because of this, the crops get scattered and then they are not able to recover. Farmers have also complained from the CM helpline to other places, but no solution has been found anywhere. That’s why he stopped complaining and also stopped cultivating gram.

Terror of robber monkeys in these villages
The farmers of Sanaudha, Simariya, Dharkhedi are the most affected among the Sagar villages where there is terror of monkey robbers. Apart from this, farmers of many villages like Midwasa, Chandokh, Gadar, Chhapri, Majhguwa, Kerbana, Padariya, Parasoria, Amoda, Dungasara have also given up gram-lentil cultivation due to the problem of monkey robbers.
