Winter rainfall makes wheat farmers happy

Farmers who have planted wheat are happy to witness the first winter rainfall this year, but mustard, potatoes and lentil growers are largely worried as water has inundated their farmland.

Rain that lashed most parts of the western Tarai since the last few days brought cheer to farmers who had planted the wheat crop. Farmers who have planted cash crops like lentils, mustard and potato, however, are largely worried about crop loss.
