The monsoon is critical as nearly half of India\u2019s farmland lacks irrigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For June and July together, India\u2019s monsoon rains were 5% above average, falling 10% below normal in June but rebounding to 13% above average in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But summer rains turned patchy again this month, dragging down overall monsoon rains to 7% below average since the season began on June 1. The weather office defines average, or normal, rainfall as between 96% and 104% of a 50-year average of 87 cm (35 inches) for the four-month season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scant rainfall is likely to persist across large areas, indicating that India is heading for its driest August in more than a century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Farmers had planted 18.8 million hectares with oilseeds, including soybeans, by Friday, against 19 million hectares a year earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Corn was planted on 8.2 million hectares, up from 8 million hectares a year earlier. The cotton area was also slightly smaller at 12.2 million hectares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ministry of Agriculture &amp; Farmers\u2019 Welfare keeps updating the provisional sowing figures as it gathers more information from the state governments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The planting figures are also subject to revision depending on progress of the June-September monsoon season.<br>Source: Reuters (Reporting by Mayank Bhardwaj; Editing by David Gregorio)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indian farmers have planted 38.4 million hectares (94.8 million acres) with rice, up 4.3% on the same period last year, farm ministry data showed on Friday, as a revival in July monsoon rains and higher prices encouraged growers to boost acreage.
