A CASE STUDY ON FARM MECHANIZATION IN THE SELECTED FARMS OF SIVASAGAR DISTRICT, ASSAM, INDIABhagya Das and Jayeeta TamuliAbstract Farm mechanization is the most recent human innovation to boost food grain output. Following the green revolution, mechanization had a huge influence on output and reduced food scarcity. Today, we live in a time when expanding population has produced a scarcity scenario in which increasing agricultural lands appears to be impossible. Farmers are under pressure to adopt new technology that can enhance food crop production as well as income. Farmers are prioritizing the use of modern mechanized tools and equipment in order to save time, effort, and money. The paper attempts to investigate the influence of mechanization on farmer income. This study will calculate the cost of mechanization for each farm and crop. The mechanization intensity was calculated using several recommended scholars and was found that all randomly selected farms have an average of 1.494 hp/ha and nearly 0.895 kW/ha, requiring additional capital investment to boost power and energy supply to the cultivated areas. This affects farmersâ farm revenue and demonstrates that mechanization is an important component of modern agriculture. |
