| Hello sir, I have heard that you are one of the most successful farmers in this village. May I ask you a few questions for my eco. project? | |

 | |  |
| Do you want to know the secrets to my success? | |

| Why not? How do you supplement your income? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| The new HYV seeds and pesticides have swept through Punjab. These high yielding crops are a huge advantage to us farmers. They almost double our income. | |

Does it affect the crops...
|

|
|
 | |  |
| Do these pesticides have any impact on the crops? Are the small farmers able to afford them? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| How do I know? Although many of them have come to me for work in wages. I haven't seen a difference in my crops..yet. | |
