Many modern equipment are available in the market to make farming easier. With the help of the farmer brothers can earn more profits with less cost, time and labour. One such machine is a combine harvester. Along with cutting the crops, this machine also does the work of bundling them. This machine is mostly used when there is a shortage of workers. With the help of this machine, both time and money are saved. Its speciality is that this machine can easily cut the bushes in the fields. Seeing so many features, every farmer wants to keep it with him, but most of the farmers are not able to keep it with him due to their financial condition. To overcome this problem of farmers, the government gives huge subsidies to it.
Subsidy for this is given to farmers under the Sub-Mission on “Agricultural Mechanization”. The pattern of financial assistance for combine harvesters can be found in the table given below. Apart from this, for more information you can visit the official website https://farmech.gov.in.
