Mysuru, Jun 28: A farmer has put a notice outside his farm to pay Rs 20 per person for selfie photos taken inside his farm.

Begur, near Gundlupet, located on highway 766 is famous for sunflower farms. Many small farmers here grow the crop for their daily bread. But this year the crops have let them down because of deficiency in rains. The farmers, who were happy after seeing good early rains, expected good profits this year. But after the rains slowed down, they are not happy anymore.

The highway is used by many tourists on the way to Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Mysuru. Many tourists stop at these farms, enjoy the beauty of sunflowers and take their selfie photos.

One farmer here thought that he should not lose hope while he is under financial problem, but should charge the tourists who happen to take selfie photos at his farm. Accordingly he put a notice board asking them to pay Rs 20 per person.

Luckily he has been receiving many tourists who intend to pay. They do not complain that this farmer is charging them. Whoever complains, will not come to the farm anyway.

Many farmers in the village or on the highway may follow this farmer. Though the money received from tourists will not bail out the farmers from their financial difficulties completely, it may help them to buy few essentials.

Tourists, who spend in thousands for their mobile phones and travel, will not lose much by helping these farmers by the way of paying charges for photos
