The study was carried out to analyze the traditional farming practices, which include the preparation of land by oxen plough, manuring of fields by using cow dung and irrigation through kulh system. Traditional post-harvesting techniques include the threshing by using pounder and animals on threshing floor. Sowing of traditional crops has been affected by climate change and many of them are on the verge of extinction due to less tolerance against drastic climate.
