Subsistence farming is about feeding your own family first, like our small patch of bajra and vegetables, while commercial farming is a gamble on the market with crops like cotton. People say bigger land means easier commercial farming, but bhai, even my four acres brought me only debt after taking a loan for those promised-high-return crops. The real difference isn't in size, but in sleep—I used to sleep soundly with my grain sacks in the kothi, and now I lie awake listening to Lata Mangeshkar, calculating interest.
