    Not compulsory.

    But if a farmer is literate,
    1. He can manage overall agriculture management along with its allied activities.
    2. He can properly utilise the available resources.
    3. He can minimise operational expenditure by check and balance method.
    4. He can take calculated risk.
    5. He can improve his overall cultivation methodology in newly logical, innovative methods.
    6. He can grow crops that mean to be growth in scientific manner i.e. grafting etc.

    I think, literate farmer can better perform in farm management.

Imagine the life where there is no food and eventually no life. All around the world, varied crops are cultivated from soil. It is noticeable that over the period of time, better methodology to produce productive yield have been derived. It is fascinating to witness how life sprouts out from land. Urbanisation has allured a considerably huge number of youth towards working at companies in developed cities. Well, we can’t eat money. “Farming is not just a job; it’s a way of life.”
