Department of Agriculture issues warning to farmers in Yadgir

The Department of Agriculture has issued a warning notice to farmers in the district to purchase seed such as green gram, red gram and cotton only from authorized dealers.

In a statement, Abid, co-director of the department, said the district had received enough rain to encourage farmers to undertake agricultural activities, including sowing in the prepared land. Farmers should therefore purchase seed from authorized dealers or buyers and require a cash receipt as proof of purchase of the seed.

“It is possible that strangers from Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Maharashtra come to your village to sell the seeds in bulk,” Mr Abid said.

If such a person is found, farmers should immediately call available officers at the numbers listed below and join the department in preventing such activities, they said.
