The overnight rainfall has brought back smiles on the faces of farmers in Adilabad who now have hope of salvaging something this season.
The quantum of rainfall however, is not sufficient for intensive farm operations or replenishing drinking water sources in the district.
The smiles hide a great amount of circumspection among the farmers as to the occurrence of rainfall further into the season.
“I do not know if there is rainfall ahead in the season but I have taken up transplantation of tomato based on the news of a cyclone causing rains in these parts,” revealed farmer Jadhav Gajanand of Islamnagar in Ichoda mandal.
After a gap of about 45 days, clouds have covered the entire district. There was good rainfall at many places.
