Farmers Uproot Cotton, Sow Chana in Adilabad

Farmers Uproot Cotton, Sow Chana in Adilabad

Farmers in Adilabad are very sad because their cotton plants are not growing well.

The weather has been too wet, and there are tiny bugs called pink bollworms that are eating the cotton.

This means the farmers are not getting much cotton to sell.

So, they are pulling out the cotton plants and putting in a different plant called chana instead.

This is because chana might grow better and help them make some money.

Also, it's hard to find workers to pick the cotton, and the workers want a lot of money.

The farmers are also upset because the people who buy cotton are not giving them the full price they promised.

Some farmers have already changed their plants to chana to try and save their season.
