Punjab Rice Mills

Punjab Rice Mills is found on Phul Road. It is a place that feels very much like the land around it. We are right there where the road stretches out, and we see the change in the seasons through the grain that comes through our doors. The mill is an old-fashioned setup, with big belts and loud motors that have been part of our lives for a long time. We don't go in for anything flashy. The walls are plain and the yard is mostly dirt and stone. When it rains, it gets a bit muddy, but we just put down some boards and keep moving. The crew here is like a small family. We've worked through many harvests together, some good and some lean. We don't have any mission statements or corporate slogans hanging on the walls. Instead, we have calendars and notes scribbled on pieces of cardboard about which machine needs oiling or which belt needs to be replaced soon. The smell of the rice being processed is something you never quite lose, even after you go home at night. We spend our days making sure the sacks are weighed right and the grain is clean before it goes out. It’s honest work that keeps us busy from dawn until dusk. We aren't trying to be anything other than a local mill serving the folks who live and farm around Phul Road. It’s just how we live and work, day after day.
