Water

Rain is enough, even in a dry year.

Money

Yield: about 29 quintals an acre, the typical figure in your state (its government crop records list none for your district).

Mandi price at last season's harvest (January–February 2026): about ₹6,113 a quintal across mandis in your state.

Prices swing a lot from year to year, so income can be well above or below this range.

Prices are usually best in April.

Typical costs are about ₹55,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
