Importance of Farmers in the Voting system

We frequently think of farmers as singular entity, yet when we say farmers, we're referring to a diverse group of people from many classes and castes, including large landowners, small farmers, sharecroppers, farm laborers, and landless farmers. Some of these individuals are simply unaware of the importance of voting for a political party.

Poorer farmers are frequently forced to vote based on their caste and class to receive the few welfare benefits offered. These advantages are frequently insignificant remunerations that are temporary solutions to the problems faced by farmers. Therefore, it is important to educate the farmer community on the right to vote.
