Lucknow, June 26 -- In a step towards technology-driven agricultural development, the Yogi government has facilitated the distribution of 450 state-of-the-art combine harvesters to farmers in 62 districts of the state, said a government spokesman here on Wednesday. These advanced machines are set to ease the physical burden of harvesting while also significantly reducing crop loss, he added.

"Combine harvesters, which perform harvesting, threshing, and cleaning in one go, help save time and improve both the quality and yield of crops," the spokesman said.

A noteworthy highlight of this initiative is the active participation of women farmers. In 15 districts, 26 women have taken charge of operating and managing these modern machines.
