Karnal: Wheat harvesting activities have been increased in Karnal and Kaithal districts as the temperature is increasing after rain in the region, reports Tribune India.
Farmers are using harvesters as well as harvesting wheat manually to speed up the process as they are worried over the warning of IMD of rains along with strong winds between April 17 and 20.
We are facing a lot of problems due to sudden changes in the weather conditions, said a farmer from the district. Last week we witnessed rain with strong winds that delayed harvesting and now the temperature has increased and we have sped up harvesting activities, he said.
