In our Ri-Bhoi fields, the happy seeder’s upfront cost is near 1.5 lakh rupees per acre if you own it, but renting is less. It does cut burning and can improve wheat yield over time by saving soil moisture. But I’ve seen my neighbour’s yield dip initially, the soil taking time to adjust like an old knee to new weather. What stays with me is watching the straw get tucked back into earth from my veranda, that *sngewbha* feeling—it’s a slower return, not just of grain, but of goodness to the land my mother’s tomatoes taught me to value.
