He further informed that the State is also offering MSP for various naturally grown crops\u2014Rs. 60 per kg for wheat and barley, Rs. 40 per kg for maize, and Rs. 90 per kg for raw turmeric.<\/p>\n<p>CM Sukhu urged farmers to take full advantage of these schemes to enhance their household earnings and secure a better future.
