#Prediction In 3-4 years time, many young/ middle aged professionals would have turned farmers after quitting their high paying jobs.
Practical approach. They would have earned decently to ensure their future. Going away from high stress jobs. Plus now the #FarmBills are approved

So they dont have to engage with the slimy political/ trader types one can expect to encounter in the APMCs. These people working in the corporate world would be more comfortable doing contract farming or creating their own linkages to sell their produce

In MH, this phenomenon would be mainly seen in Western MH where professionals working in Mumbai or Pune would love to return to their roots and lead a less hectic life (Not to say farming is an easy profession). The rest of the regions of MH could also see this trend

Imagine a 35 year old in Nashik belt growing grapes using drip irrigation and latest innovations and confident enough to deal with vineyards, with knowledge of prices

Basically Raj Thackeray had said in 2007 that he wants to see a farmer wearing jeans on a tractor in his farm. This may happen but courtesy Modi and co. Raj wont have anything to do with it
