As per Section 10 Agriculture Income is exempt from Tax.
But ,in case of Individual ,HUF, agriculture income is aggregated with other income to remove slab benefit available to following assessees
-Individual,HUF,AOP/BOI
As per Section 139(1),a firm has to file ROI in every case i.e even when its taxable income is NIL or firm is in loss.
Therefore firm has to file ROI in your case.
