The study was confined to a sample of 150 sugarcane farmer households selected of two blocks of Lakhimpur Kheri District. Findings reveal that per farm investment on farm structure was highest on large size group of farms i.e., Rs. 906411.71. The overall average of costs of cultivation in sugarcane (planted) was found to be Rs.120101.42 on sample farms. The benefit cost ratio was found to be highest on large size of farm (1:0.88) as compared to small farms (1:0.78) and medium farms (1:0.78). It was revealed that the total cultivation cost per hectare on overall farms was Rs. 87037.53 in Ratoon crop. And on an overall average gross income was recorded Rs. 166173.80 and net income came to Rs.79136.27. Study finally results on to the conclusion that sugarcane farming is a profitable venture. In future farmers can invest in it for smart returns.
A Multistage stratified random sampling technique was adopted for the study of 150 farmers selected through proportionate randomly sampling. Through descriptive statistical methodology data was analysed and it was found that maximum 84.06 per cent of marginal farmers were belonging to nuclear family system and 62.32 per cent of them were backward in caste. 21.74 per cent marginal farmers were having education up to high school and 81.16 per cent of marginal farmers were of agriculture practising category. Maximum 37.68 per cent marginal farmers belonged to higher income group followed by 33.33 and 28.99 per cent marginal farmers belonging to lower and higher income groups, respectively.
