Udhampur: Recent rainfall has brought relief to strawberry cultivators in Udhampur, who were earlier facing tough times due to the dry spell.
A farmer Rashpal Singh said, "We got huge relief due to the rains 3 to 4 days ago. The government gives subsidies on time. The government gives Rs 13000 per kanal and Rs 26000 for 2 kanal. The dry spells destroyed 400-500 of my strawberry crops this year. Wheat cultivation was also affected due to the dry spell. Now there is hope, and at least 70 percent yield can be expected."
