Earlier, bulls were used in farming, but in the changing times the use of bulls has reduced considerably. This has been possible due to the pre monsoon. Due to the monsoon rain, it has become easier for the farmers to plow the field. As long as the monsoon is active, the crops are sown till then the rain yields good yield.
