Contract Farming

A simple survey of farmers of India would easily show that they will unanimously accept contract corporate farming and commodities futures trading, if only they are treated on par with industrial labour, and given the same guarantees of assured income, offset against inflation, in the Sixth Pay Commission. Why must farmers be excluded from Pay Commission diktats ? Which farmer in India wants to be the lord of agricultural land in this country ? Let Tatas, Ambanis, Vedanta, Walmart and Tesco take over all agricultural land in India and just settle a minimum monthly salary for Indian farmers. In fact, farmers will be happy to even gift their lands to multinationals, corporates, central and state governments, if only, a guaranteed minimum wage is declared for farmers.
