You are right on the point Sir Dixon.  Mechanised agriculture is possible only on a large scale.
 
    But the real problem was caused by the Indian government and the indian Parliament.
 
    Some 50 years back, They passed a Law called, "Rural Land Ceiling Act."
 
    The Act prevents people from owning more than 50 acres of land.!!  Over the past 50 years valuable agriculture land has been broken up and fragmented and caught in legal tangles.  It killed Indian Agriculture.  The law still exists.  The bloody fools from Socialist background just cannot think straight.
 
     Land reforms are long overdue.

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.
