Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The farmer, Anil Kondba Shende, 31, left behind a wife and two small sons, debts that his family knew about only vaguely and a soggy, ruined 3.5-acre patch of cotton plants that had been his only source of income. Three and a half acres of cotton is nothing! There is no income from that! Even if one used the best cotton seed, fertilizers and pesticides, 3.5 acres can not produce enough cotton to feed a one person for long. In the United States cotton is planted in terms of hundreds of acres using the most modern techniques in order to be profitable. Sorry for Anil and family but the days of such subsistence farming is over. They would do better to sell such farms and invest in learning skills and trades. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
