Jana Modern Rice Mill

Jana Modern Rice Mill is over in Model-Town. It’s a place that stays quite dusty because of all the grain moving through the machines. We have the big milling equipment in the back which makes a lot of noise throughout the day, so you have to shout a bit if you are standing near it. The office is just a small room at the front where we keep the scales and the ledgers. We process a lot of rice for the local markets and individual buyers. It’s hard work, and by the end of the shift, everyone usually has a bit of white dust on their clothes and in their hair. We don't have a fancy logo or a big neon sign out front. People in Model-Town know us because we’ve been here for years and they see the tractors coming in from the fields at all hours. The air always smells a bit like toasted grain and earth, which isn't a bad thing at all when you get used to it. We spend our time checking the quality of the husks and making sure the bags are filled to the right weight. It is a very hands-on business with no real shortcuts. There aren't any corporate suits here, just regular people in work clothes getting things done. We usually take our lunch breaks together under the shade of the big tree out front. It’s a simple operation, but it’s what we know how to do best. We just keep the machines running and the rice moving out the door every single day.
