Farmers plant paddy in a field in the northern Indian city of Mathura July 18, 2008. India expects a good harvest of rice, corn and soybean this year, helped by good monsoon rains, higher prices paid for farmers for crops and incentives to use fertilisers, Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar said earlier this week.
