Vaslipur Farmer Producer Company Limited

We are located in Bangali Colony over in Bhenthiya. Makhanchand Das, who is Devendra Das’s son, is the person who helps run things. This is in Lakhimpur Kheri. We are the Vaslipur Farmer Producer Company Limited. We have a lot of different people in our group. Farming in this part of the country is hard work. We have to deal with the water and the heat. We get together to talk about what we need for the next season. Buying things for the farm can be expensive if you do it by yourself. We try to get things in larger amounts so the price is better. Makhanchand stays at the house in the colony and we go there to meet. It’s a simple setup. We don't have a fancy office with chairs and desks. We just sit where we can and discuss the crops. Lakhimpur Kheri has good soil if you know how to treat it. We share our tools and our knowledge. If one person’s tractor is broken, someone else steps in. It’s just how we do things here. We aren't trying to impress anyone with big words. We just want to make sure we can keep farming and taking care of our land. It’s a basic life but it’s honest work. We are glad to have the group to lean on when things get difficult. It helps knowing you aren't fighting the weather alone.
