Farmers plough their paddy field at Suchate Garh village near Indo-Pak international border about 25 Km from the Northern Indian city of Jammu, the winter capital of Kashmir on 13 July 2008. Rice is the principal crop grown in India, and the country ranks second only to China in world rice production. Sowing has begun earlier than usual this year due to the early onset of the annual monsoon rains that feed the farms which provide a livelihood for more than 60 percent of India's 1.1 billion people.
