In the year 2001-2002 the net cultivated area is 5,09,107 hecters from which about 83 percent area viz. - 4,26,204 is irrigated and remaining 17 percent area viz. - 82,903 is unirrigated. Double cropped area is 2,72,508 hectares of which 32,230 hecter (12%) area is irrigated and remaining 2,40,278 hecter (88%) area is unirrigated. Thus, the total cropped area of the district is 7,81,615 hecters. In Kharif season Bajra, Maize, Jowar, Karif pulses, Arhar, Sesamum, Cotton, Guar etc. are sown in about 3,29,088 hectare (42%) and in Rabi season Wheat, Barley, Gram, Mustard, Taramira, Rabi pulses etc. are sown in about 4,52,527 hectare (58%). The main source of irrigation are wells and Tube Wells. By 26064 Tube Wells about 192861 hectare area is being irrigated and by 57196 Wells about 265169 hectares area is irrigated. By other sources like canals, tanks about 404 hectares area is irrigated. About 35470 electric motors and 66502 Diesel pump sets are being used for Irrigation purposes. The normal rainfall for the district is 657.3 mm. The average rainfall in last ten years in the district is 724 mm. The rainfall distribution in the district is uneven and scattered which resulted some times flood problems and some time draught position which affect the Agriculture production as well as cropping pattern in Kharif & Rabi season. Thus, the Agriculture in the district by and large depends on rainfall distribution. The average rainfall in the year 2002 upto sep. is 220 mm.
