raw materials and money in hand are working capital.
and even human capital is also there.
tools,machines,buildings are fixed capital.

Farming and Palampur

unfortunately,not all the people engaged in agriculture have sufficient land for cultivation.
in palampur about one third of the 450 families are landless,i.e. 150 families, most of them dalits, havve no land for cultivation.
scale of surplus farm products
the wheat is harvested and production is complete.
let us suppose that the farmers have produced wheat on their lands using the three factors of production.
small farmers like savitha and gobind 's sons have little surplus wheat because their total production is small and from this a sustainable share is kept for their own family needs.
who will provide the labour?
thus, they provide the labour required for farming themselves.
medium and large farmers hire farm labourers to work on thier fields.
after land, labour is the next necessary factor for production. farming requires a great deal of hard work. small farmers along with their families cultivate their own fields.
will the land sustain?
land being a natural resource,it is necessary to be very careful in its use.
scientific reports indicate that the modern farming methods have overused the natural resource base.
is there a way one can grow more from the same land?
in the kind of crops grown and facilities available,palampur would resemble a village of the western part of the state of uttar pradesh.

the main reason why farmers are able to grow three different crops in a year in palampur is due to the well developed system of irrigation.

they could be farmers or farm labours.

in contrast to the small farmers, the medium and the large farmers have their own savings from farming.
we know that the modern farming methods require a great deal of capital, so that the farmer now needs more money than before
