Farmers Worried As Wild Boars Damage Rice Nursery Beds
A Kashmiri farmer is praying inside a paddy field in Baramulla, Jammu and Kashmir, India, on May 8, 2024. Farmers are using tin sheets to cover and protect their agricultural land from wild boars. In Kashmir, farmers are concerned due to the increasing number of pigs. Wild boars are destroying the seeds that farmers are sowing in their fields. The locals are saying that the growing population of wild boars in Baramulla is creating problems for the farmers in the area. They are reporting that the animals are destroying the crops in the fields, causing heavy losses. Farmers, who depend on these nursery beds to plant paddy crops, are facing an unprecedented challenge this year, as many rice nursery beds have been damaged in the area.
