I bought an agricultural land 3 years ago.. I planned to take the step by step improvements planned one for a year, like fencing, clearing the old farm for the new plantation, then borewell.. as I was completely new to agriculture, I'm going along with the local farmer who is looking after my farm, as I stay far away to my native in a town for the sake job.
I have no clue about the standard agriculture borewell parameters & didn't gave a thought to look for suggestions, instead went with farmer & borewell service people. They drilled borewell of 150 feet. I was happy we took next step as part of farm improvement plan. Next we went for electricity connection, which took nearly 8 months to get the electricity wiring to farm.
Now it is time to get the Pumpset installed. I searched for the suitable Pumpset and finally bought KSB V6-3hp-7 Stage pump set through contacts, even though I was not in place. Farmer n me thought the borewell casing was 7 inch, but it is actually 5 inch š. We came to observe this only during the installation!!!
I'm really worried and I see loosing money inspite of going ahead with the plan!!!
