Winter crop sowing in Rajasthan has seen gram and barley surpass wheat and mustard in progress for the current rabi season. According to state agriculture department data, gram sowing achieved 100 percent completion by the first week of December, with barley sowing reaching an impressive 108 percent.
In comparison, wheat sowing has reached 86 percent, and mustard sowing is at 94 percent. These figures indicate a significant shift in crop focus for the winter season in the state.
