Dear friend,
You should know the real reason why many IT persons are looking at other avenues for earning. First the life is highly stress full in IT industry, one needs to update himself constantly. Second hire and fire works like anything. If the company completes one project and is not getting a similar project the company simply fires the team/keeps them on bench for some time. This thought itself is stress full. As age advances and people turn 35 the tension increases.
Now I meet many IT, IIM grads seeking consultancy for projects in agri areas. It is possible to make one or two lacs a month in simple business, only thing is hard working entrepreneur is required.
In agri many people fail or suffer because they do not plan. It requires a lot of experience to properly put a project idea in place. Secondly forward and backward linkages establishing is a must for success.
At last I must say hardly 1 per cent of IT guys really take up agriculture as profession and they back out once they study the details of the projects. But please note 24 % return can be achived only in agro based projects. Agro based projects are better than traditional industries in profitability.

The income one earn in these two profession is totally uncomparable. I hope, the average annual income one gets in agriculture will be equal to the average monthly income one gets in IT industry. And also, the income from agriculture will not be regular as it is monthly in IT. How are you guys managing? Please give your tips and techniques on this.
