Ranju Khandkar, from Gaibandha: Then the sweet afternoon sun fell on the golden paddy. The square farmer Rabiul Islam was cutting paddy with a light poach of sickle on that tree.
Rabiul said, this paddy plant will remain on the ground for a few days. After that, when it is completely dry, it will be taken to the owner's yard. After threshing and threshing there, half of it will go up to the owner. The rest is in Rabiul's house.
In response to the question that how much does he raise by cultivating in this way?- This farmer said that once he took a few bighas of land 'Khaikhalasi' with some hard work. Later they were lost while going home. Now he cultivates two and a half bighas with barga. There is no other way.
I was talking to Rabiul in the crop field of Kumargari village in Palashbari upazila of Gaibandha. Mortgage of land in this area is called Khaikhalasi.
Rabiul said, now even in Amon season, the land has to be fertilized. Pesticides have to be given three times this time. So the cost is slightly higher. But the yield is quite good.
Not only Kumargari, but the entire country including North Bengal is now in the mood of cutting Aman. Karthik's culmination has begun, but the first week of this fragrance has fully begun.

Shahidul Islam, a farmer of Dumurgacha village of Gobindganj upazila, said that he cultivated two bighas of land with barga. He cut the rice of one bigha land. After threshing the rice is now being boiled. It will be dried and rolled.

Teacher Shahbaz Kabir's house in Maheshpur area of Palashbari. He gave away most of the land. He said that not much crop can be obtained with barga land. But due to his job, he does not have time to plant crops himself. So Barga gave. It also benefits the farmer to some extent.
