Despite having less land, he is reaping great profit out of it from the last 23 years by doing vegetable cultivation. He has around 17.5 acres of land out of which 11 acres he owns and has taken 6.5 acres on the contract basis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Modern farming techniques like drip irrigation, spray irrigation, and laser leveller are some of his power tools which help him to do efficient farming and water conservation. And when it comes to pesticides usage, then he is very smart. He uses pesticides only on the recommendation of Punjab Agriculture University. Mostly he tries to use green natural manure in his fields for better yield.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The other modern technique which he is using adeptly is the light tunnel in 6 acres to grow vegetables. And some of the crops that he especially grows every season are rice, wheat, clover, cabbage, melon, tomato, eggplant, cucumber, peas and bitter gourd. To give a powerful boost to his farming venture he also took training for the preparation of hybrid seeds soy operations and other allied activities like beekeeping and dairy farming etc., from Agriculture Science Centre, Patiala.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Marketing<br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong>His vast year of experience not only includes growing different crops advantageously but he also enhanced his marketing skills, and today he has his own sales outlet at \u201cAtma Kisan Hut (Patiala)\u201d. Quality of his processed produce has increased his sales day by day. He has also established a soy plant under the brand name \u201cSmart\u201d in 2012 and under this plant, he processes and sells products such as soy milk, cheese, flour, and nuts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Achievements<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nHe is an inspiration for the other farmers and soon he will be honoured with the CRI Pumps Award.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Message<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong><em><span style=\"color: #27c42f;\">&#8220;Farmers should use less pesticides and chemicals in their field if they want to live a healthy life and reap good yield out of their land in the present as well as in the future.&#8221;<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read Full Story<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[1019,47,309,1021,441,1014,1011,964,720,731,443,1013,1017,1015,705,1007,1020,1012,1018,1009,894,314,51,122,1010,1016,632,1008,306,286],"class_list":["post-256","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-small-with-image","tag-agri-marketing","tag-agriculture","tag-apni-kheti","tag-atma-kisan-hut-patiala","tag-beekeeping","tag-bitter","tag-cabbage","tag-cheese","tag-clover","tag-cucumber","tag-dairy-farming","tag-eggplant","tag-flour","tag-gourd","tag-green-manure","tag-gurmail-singh","tag-hybrid-seeds","tag-melon","tag-nuts","tag-organic-manure","tag-patiala","tag-peas","tag-progressive-farmer","tag-punjab","tag-rice","tag-soy-milk","tag-tomato","tag-uchagaon","tag-vegetable-farming","tag-wheat"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
