Munna Lal’s farmland is fertile and he grows two crops in a year - wheat or rice and pulses. He purchases high yielding varieties of seeds from the market every alternate year. He rents a tractor for ploughing his field and irrigates it from a tube-well near his farm for which he pays a rent.

Munna Lal also has two buffaloes and a few hens and he sells the milk in the cooperative store located in the nearby town. All the members of the family help him in various farm activities.

Munna Lal takes the advice of government agricultural officers and officers in the co-operative society regarding farming methods and on the type of fodder for his animals, safety measures to protect the health of the livestock.

Sometimes, he takes credit from a bank or the agricultural co-operative society to buy seeds and farm implements.

As Munna Lal does not have the facilities to store his crop he sells it in the local mandi at a nominal rate.
