In the Palampur story, fixed capital is things like tubewells and buildings, working capital is seeds and fertilizer, and yield per hectare is a neat number from the textbook. Arey, in my father's small plot near Balugaon, the 'fixed capital' is a borrowed plough, the 'working capital' is my salary sent home mid-month, and the yield is a prayer against hailstorms or debt. That book's clean columns forget the heat and the worry that counts as our biggest overhead.
