Thakurgaon Correspondent: Thakurgaon Sadar Upazila has the potential to have a bumper wheat crop this season. According to the Upazila Agriculture Office, the target for wheat cultivation this season has been set at 46,450 hectares of land. Wheat cultivation has increased this season compared to last year. Talking to farmers in 21 unions, it was learned that wheat cultivation costs less than other crops. So farmers cultivate wheat in the hope of making more profit at a lower cost.

Talking about field wheat cultivation, many farmers complained that the government was paying the right price for wheat. But marginal farmers are deprived of the fair price of wheat. Many farmers complained to the representative that the government buys wheat from farmers through slips. But many real wheat farmers do not get wheat slips.

They are seeking the attention of the government in this regard. According to the Upazila Agriculture Office, there is a possibility of the bumper yield of wheat as the weather is favorable this season. Many Upazila farmers are cultivating wheat. More wheat has been planted this time than other years. Besides, free wheat seeds and fertilizers have been distributed to 200 ideal farmers of the Upazila as agricultural incentives. This is expected to increase the target of wheat cultivation.
