Farmer Suicides Climbing In India Amid Cotton Slump

Workers rest in a pile of cotton at a ginning mill in Yavatmal, Maharashtra, India, on Wednesday, Feb. 4, 2015. In a country where as many as one in three of the world's suicides occur, about 12 farmers a day kill themselves in Maharashtra, the second-largest state, and the numbers are growing, farmer lobby group data show. A global cotton surplus has sent prices tumbling and aggravated rural poverty in India. Photographer: Dhiraj Singh/Bloomberg via Getty Images
