Cyclone Montha Devastates Cotton Crops in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh

A big storm called Cyclone Montha brought a lot of rain to farmers in places like Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.

This rain has been very bad for cotton crops, as well as paddy, soya, and maize.

Some cotton is ready to be picked, but the rain is damaging it, and some cotton is already picked but getting wet.

Farmers are worried the rain will make the cotton change color and have too much water in it.

This is a problem because if the cotton has too much water, they might have to sell it for much less money than they were promised.

The rain has also made it harder to pick the cotton and bring it to market, so there are fewer bales of cotton arriving than usual.

This means there's less cotton available, which could make prices stay the same, but the quality is also a worry.
