उत्तर
Damjibhai did farming in a different way than how Hasmukh did.
Damjibhai followed the traditional methods of farming. He used bullocks to plough the field. He stored grains to be used as seeds. Hasmukh, on the other hand, started using new methods of farming. He brought a tractor to plough the field. He also bought a motorcycle. He stopped growing those crops that did not fetch a good price in the market. He need not store grains to be used as seeds because he could buy seeds from the market. Expensive fertilizers were used for farming.
