India is a young country with 65% of Indians below 35 years of age and 47% Indians are below 20 years of age as per the 2011 census. The average age of India will be just 29 by 2020. These young Indians are progressive. This also constitutes a high percentage of young farmers. Like their smart phones they want smart farming too. Farm mechanization is the buzz word for these tech savvy progressive farmers. While tractor is the biggest ally for the farmers technological advanced implements also help to increase the efficiency of the farmers. Effective mechanization helps in increasing productivity by about 30%.
