Agra: Getting little support from the local administration to protect their crops from stray cattle, farmers on the outskirts of the Taj city have decided to take the menace by its horns. “Stray cattle have already destroyed nearly 30% rabi crops — wheat, potato and mustard,” she says. Farmers across UP are facing the menace of stray cattle, which destroy their standing crops. According to villagers, fencing of one bigha land (0.25 hecatre) costs around Rs 4,000.“Stray animals have caused major damage to our crops. So, like other farmers of the village, I, too, contributed Rs 20,000 for fencing.
