    The document discusses establishing a custom hiring center (CHC) to make farm machinery available to small and marginal farmers. The objectives are to improve mechanization, provide hiring services for machinery, and expand mechanized activities. A CHC could serve 4-5 villages within 5-7 km and cater to the 80% of land holdings that are small/marginal. The ideal model proposed includes tillage, multi-crop, and some crop-specific equipment, with a total cost of 15.5 lakh rupees.

    Introduction
    • Gradual shift from dependence on human power
    and animal power to mechanical power because
    increasing cost for upkeep of animal and
    growing scarcity of human labour.
    • Mechanical power is largely consumed in big
    land holdings and is still beyond the reach of
    small/marginal holdings which constitutes
    around 80% of the total land holdings.
    Contd..
    • Therefore in order to bring farm machinery
    available within the reach of small/marginal
    holdings, collective ownership or Custom Hiring
    Centers needs to promoted in a big way. This
    model scheme is prepared to demonstrate the
    banks that financing for establishment of
    Custom Hiring Centers are a financially viable
    unit.
    Objectives:-
    • To make available various farm machinery /
    equipments to small and marginal farmers

    • To offset the adverse economies of scale due to


    high cost of individual ownership

    • To improve mechanization in places with low


    farm power availability
    Contd..
    • To provide hiring services for various
    agricultural machinery/implements applied for
    different operations.
    • To expand mechanized activities during
    cropping seasons in large areas especially in
    small and marginal holdings.
    • To provide hiring services for various high value
    crop specific machines applied for different
    operations.
    Potential for Custom Hiring Centres :
    • As the small/marginal holdings constitutes 80% of
    total land holdings, the potential for CHC which will
    cater to the farm machinery requirement of such a
    vast area, is quite huge.
    • Government of India, in recognition of this potential
    has envisaged increase of farm power availability
    from the present level (0.93 kw/ha) to 2kw/ha during
    the 12th plan period.
    • The Sub Mission on Agricultural Machinery (SMAM)
    is one such initiative towards the objective. Subsidy
    schemes are also being formulated to encourage
    entrepreneurs and agri graduates to set up custom
    hiring centres.
    Location of the CHCs
    • Ideally, the CHC shall have to be located in a
    place where by and large small land holdings are
    located within a radius of 5 to 7 kms.
    • This will reduce the transport cost and time of
    transport of agricultural machinery.
    • One CHC is expected to cater to 4-5 villages and
    therefore a common place equidistant from the
    villages catered is advisable.
    CHC Unit
    • CHCs are basically a unit comprising a set of farm
    machinery, implements and equipment meant for
    custom hiring by farmers.
    • Ideal model envisaged in this project comprise
    farm machinery that are commonly used for
    tillage operations for all crops, multi crop
    equipment and a minimum of crop specific
    machinery.
    • Certain implements and equipment are crop
    specific, the traction units like tractors, power
    tillers etc., and self-propelled machinery like
    combine harvesters etc., are used in common.
    Total Cost
    • This model is essentially suited for areas where paddy is cultivated
    predominantly.
    • The CHC may comprise the following machinery:
    i. 35 hp tractor - for tillage operations, traction source and
    transport
    ii. Power tiller – for tillage operations in small farms, traction
    source for small equipment and agri input transport for short
    distance.
    iii. Multi crop Power thresher
    iv. Winnower:
    v. Self-Propelled Reaper
    vi. Sprayers :
    vii. Repairing tools

    The cost of the unit works out to Rs. 15.50 lakh, which includes cost of
    construction of a workshed of 500 sq. ft. The land cost which is not
    considered in the project may however, be treated as margin.
