With respite coming from the rains, paddy harvesting has begin in right earnest in many parts of Salcete taluka this season.
In fact, the continuous rain over the last few days had delayed the harvesting operation, so much so that the rains had left standing paddy damaged at many places.
Harvesting has started at Sao Jose de Areal bringing smiles on the faces of the farmers, who were keeping their fingers crossed over the commencement of the harvesting season because of the heavy rains.
Chairman of Marc Farmers Club and ex-Curtorim Zilla Panchayat member Moreno Rebello, who is a service provider, said harvesting has begun in right earnest in Salcete countryside following respite from the rains. “The farmers too are happy with the yield. We all look forward for a good season”, Moreno said.
