Paresh Chandra Roy, 50, a farmer from Sutarpara village in Badarganj, said: By the grace of God, Ella was not there that day. My land is three acres. Among them, I am cutting the paddy of 72 per cent Agot (advance) Taj Gol (Tej Gold) variety for three days. Paddy back 45 (28 kg) mana. Raw husks of paddy (straw) are sold for 7 thousand rupees. Paddy sold for 28,900 rupees. The cost of cultivating paddy is 15-16 thousand rupees. 'Laughing, he said, Ella also has money in hand.

It has been learned that more than a hundred farmers including Golam Mostafa, Anil Chandra, Ramchandra and Dhirendranath of the village have planted the advance variety of paddy in the land this time.
Rezwanul Haque, a farmer from Bhimpur village in Taraganj, used to cultivate paddy twice a year. He sells one crop to cover the cost of another. Due to floods, insects and drought, aman fields are destroyed every year and production is reduced. Since some years were wasted, the crop could not even bring the straw of Amankhet. It did not raise the cost of cultivation. But that day is over for him.

He is already spending his days happily by planting golden varieties of paddy without Bina-18 variety. In just 115 days, he was able to bring this rice home.
Rezwanul said he has been cultivating paddy for a long time. It takes about five months to harvest aman paddy. In the full season, the market price was lower. It would have caused losses. This is the first time that the cost of planting Bina-16 variety of paddy in five bighas has doubled. There are very few diseases in this rice.

Latif Mia, a farmer from Kazipara village in Taraganj, said, This rice is completely different from other rice. Fertilizers, water and pesticides are available in other fields. If you say there is no disease. The yield is also much higher. If you get this rice that is frozen, you will get lucky.
According to the Badarganj Upazila Agriculture Office, aman has been cultivated in 19,610 hectares in the upazila this year. Of these, hybrid advance varieties Bina-18, Bina-6, Tej Gold and Dhani Gold have been cultivated in 3,340 hectares.

Aman paddy has been cultivated in 9,940 hectares of land in 5 unions of Taraganj. Of this, 33 hectares have been planted with advance varieties of paddy. The advance variety of paddy is being sold at Rs. 620 to 840 per ounce (28 kg).

Taraganj Upazila Agriculture Officer Urmi Tabassum said farmers are able to harvest early varieties of paddy at home in 110 to 115 days. The rice ripens 60 to 70 days earlier than the aman varieties. As a result, farmers are benefiting by cultivating other crops for the rest of the time. Farmers are increasingly interested in cultivating this variety of paddy.

Badarganj Upazila Agriculture Officer Golam Mostafa. Zobaidur Rahman said that now the farmers are able to harvest the paddy three times a year. After cultivating, cutting and threshing early varieties of paddy, he is now cultivating potato and sesame in the land. This crop can be harvested in 75 to 90 days and now Boro is able to cultivate paddy there. Farmers are benefiting from this.

Mohammad Ali, Officer-in-Charge of Bangladesh Atomic Agriculture Research Institute (BINA) in Rangpur, said, "We attach special importance to sustainable agricultural development." Earlier, farmers could not produce more than two crops a year. At this time there was a lack of houses. Which is known to the farmers of North Bengal as Manga or Mara Kartik. The farmers have smiled by removing the shortage of early varieties of paddy.
