Success Story: This farmer of UP left wheat and paddy and grew this crop, earning lakhs annually
Success Story: By growing mushrooms, a farmer in the Colonelganj police station region in the Gonda district of Uttar Pradesh makes millions of rupees a year. Nagesh Mishra said in an interview with the media that he has studied both MA and LLB. After that, he quit regular farming since he couldn’t find work and began growing mushrooms, which brings him millions of rupees a year.
How many acres does he have under cultivation for mushrooms?
According to Nagesh, he is now growing mushrooms on one acre and plans to expand in the future. He said that he stopped doing regular farming last year and began growing mushrooms. There was little profit last year, but this time around there is a chance to make a sizable profit. He said that farming piqued our curiosity. We used to grow paddy-wheat and sugarcane, but they weren’t profitable, so we tried growing mushrooms, which is turning a respectable profit.
How did the concept of mushroom cultivation originate?
He adds that he and two-four members of the local council began growing mushrooms initially after viewing on YouTube. Nagesh considered growing mushrooms after speaking with others who were currently farming. According to him, the compost is ready in September. It is then planted starting in October.
How many days does it take to make compost?
According to Nagesh, the composting process takes 27 days. First, raw materials are put to the straw once it has been collected, and workers turn it every three days. The compost is ready after nine turnings have been made. Compost is placed in the prepared beds after preparation.
