John Deere

We are located over in Searsole Rajbari. Most people call it the John Deere spot around here. Being in Raniganj, we see a lot of people coming in for their farming needs. It’s not a fancy showroom with carpets. It’s more of a workshop and a place to talk about tractors. We have the parts and the machines sitting out. People stop by when they’re having trouble with their equipment or if they need something new for the season. We don't have a big sales pitch. We just show what we have. Sometimes we’re out back helping someone figure out a mechanical issue. The district is big, so people travel a bit to get to us. We’ve been at this for a while now. The building is just a regular place, nothing special. We drink a lot of tea and talk to the farmers who come through. It’s practical work. We know how important these machines are for the fields. If a tractor isn't running, the work stops, so we try to be quick. We don't use those corporate scripts when we talk. It’s just us. We know the local roads and the local people. We’ve seen the seasons change many times from this office. It’s just how we make our living, helping folks keep their farms going with the right gear. There's usually a bit of grease on our hands, but that's just the way it goes with this kind of business. It stays busy enough.
