taming a tractor? you have a point and it should be replaced in place of animals for ploughing fields but it should be done in phases and i am sure tractors are becoming affordable to the poor farmers but other infrastructure facilities should be in place without which the tractor becomes a useless thing. I know of instances where poor brought tractors and could not pay back the loan because they were dependent on rains which is a scarcicty these days. With good irrigation facilities, roads and cold storage and other systems in place, tractor is a nice thing to keep. Otherwise it's a burden to farmers and you see suicides as they are happening in thousands in Andhra, Kerala, Maharashtra and some other states.
