EXPLORATION OF CUSTOM HIRING SERVICES OF FARM MACHINES IN JUNAGADH
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 47
Abstract
The level of mechanization is increasing day by day in all aspects in Gujarat. The custom hiring is very useful method of having short term control of farm machinery particularly during the tillage operations, sowing and during their harvesting operations, etc. Efforts are made through this study to document the information about the economic status of the custom hiring services of farm machinery. The survey was made for the custom hiring in 7 villages of Junagadh taluka. About 50 farmers were interviewed for the survey and following conclusions were made. Although the use of plough is high but its break-even point is quite higher than that of annual usage. It was observed that profit per investment of combine harvester is maximum whereas it is minimum in case of weeder. Also the implements like rotavator, disc plough, tractor, thresher, cultivator provides good profit to the farmer. There are also some implements like weeder and plough which have negative values of profit per investment. This means that these implements cause loss on the initial investment. It was observed that the return on investment from a machine does not depend on its initial cost. It mainly depends upon the annual usage.
