Slow progress as paddy fields remain waterlogged following rain
The harvest of the second crop (additional crop) has begun in Kuttanad.
Chooravady padasekharam under the Thakazhi Krishi Bhavan was the first to go under the harvester on Sunday. The harvest at Chooravady was originally scheduled to begin a week ago but got delayed due to rain. Farmers said the harvest was making slow progress with combined harvesters getting stuck on the field due to waterlogging.
Meanwhile, harvesting has been delayed at the 200-acre Vadakara Edassery Varabinakam padasekharam in Edathua due to waterlogging. Ten combined harvesters brought from Tamil Nadu have not yet entered the field. The field was to go under the harvester on September 27. Farmers said that several paddy plants had already flattened and they had suffered losses.
