Abstract:
This study was conducted in the Faisalabad district to compare wheat production and marketing of traditional and progressive farmers. Data revealed that progressive farmers sowed wheat in time and applied better seed rate. The use of seed drill was also found more prevalent among the progressive farmers and the application of fertilizer and irrigation was also better than traditional farmers. High price of fertilizers particularly of DAP, delayed payments and low price of wheat were the main marketing related grievances expressed both by the progressive and traditional farmers.
