There are enough reasons for farmers to cheer.

The fields have been covered with crops like paddy, millets, pulses, cotton, sugarcane and oilseeds. The agricultural and horticultural departments are racing towards a target of 1.2 crore acres this year. Last year, only 59 lakh acres were covered till October end.
