The study surveyed 100 farmers in India, dividing them into marginal, small, and medium size groups. The average holding size was 0.67, 1.17, and 2.75 hectares, with medium farmers cultivating the most. Cropping patterns vary, with major crops in Kharif, Rabi, and Zaid seasons. Marginal farms have the lowest costs, with the highest due to irrigation and human effort. The average cost of a farm was Rs.49197.50, with medium farms having the highest gross revenue. Family income was highest on marginal farms.
