The Benefits of Mixed Farming.

 

The basics of agriculture teach mixed farming. The fertility of the soil is

maintained by sowing a different crop in between regular crops. When the

farmers grow paddy, for instance, sugarcane is sometiems grown between two

crops of paddy.

 

ThirunaRaiyUr's rich agricutural heritage is sung by kaliyan.

 

The tillers grow paddy amidst regular sugarcane crops. The lotus grows side by

side. However, due to the original sugarcane land, it comes up automatically

without being voluntarily sown.

 

The efforts taken to bring up the red paddy yileds but even before that the

sugarcane crops become standing in front in an imposing manner.

 

The water resources and the fertility of the soil enables this rich agriculture

occupation at thirunaRaiyUr.

 

It also emphasises the fact that mixed farming was being practised in those

days. Perhaps, it is all the more necessary in today's concept of scarcity of

water.

 

The pAsuram describing this :

 

"sEr thazahitha kadhir sen-nel sen-kamalath idai-idaiyin,

pAr thazahithu-k karumbOngi payan viLaikkum thirunaRaiyUr.." 6-9-7;
