Kenchappara Veeresh, a young farmer from Karnataka’s Kudligi taluk, expects to earn up to ₹10 lakh from 100 quintals of groundnuts cultivated on his 10-acre farm. Despite drought conditions, he invested ₹3 lakh and used water from three borewells for irrigation. His groundnut plants reportedly bear 40 to 80 pods each, attracting farmers from nearby villages.
