Suryapet: The relationship between the farmer and the farm is different in Yeravaram. is located 54 kms from Suryapet 80 percent of the population of this village in Kodad mandal, the district headquarters, is dependent on agriculture for livelihood, and that is why the village has over 150 agricultural fields exclusive to them.
The bond between man and the farm has given its name to each agricultural field in Yeravaram, most of them known by the same name for more than 50 years.
From Apila, Padichenu and Pashupolam to Lambadichenu, Bandachenu and Yedlabeedu, farms are named based on their geographical importance, or in relation to the owner.
However, although the owners have changed over the years, the names have remained and help farmers as well as farm workers to identify the location of the farm.
Veerapalli Venkataiah, one of the farmers in the village, says people call him agricultural sector The names as they address each other show their affection for the land.
Venkaiah owns a plot of agricultural land spread over six acres, and known as Ranganipolam. Ranga owned the land about five decades ago, but the name has stuck, and the place and its surroundings are identified as Ranganipolum or its surroundings, he says.
Baru Sivaiah, another farmer, says that some agricultural areas and their names were also popular because of the high yield. This practice is so old that now, when farmers engage agricultural laborers from other places for cultivation, they do not have to mention the place but only the name of the farm. Shivaiah says they can find their way with just the name.
