Kai Ramrao Rajput Farmer Producer

Kai Ramrao Rajput Farmer Producer is basically just a group of us who grew up around here. We work out of Shivdas Shamrao Rajput’s place over at Ward No. 8 in the Dandge Layout. It isn’t some big office building with glass windows or anything like that. It’s just where we meet to talk about the crops and how to handle the markets. Being in the 443201 area, we know the soil pretty well. Last year was tough with the rain, but we managed. We started this because doing things alone as a farmer is getting harder every day. You spend all day in the sun and then you have to figure out the selling part, which is its own kind of work. Shivdas lets us use his space so we have a central spot for the paperwork and storage stuff. Most of the guys here have been farming since they were kids. We don't have fancy equipment, but we know what works for our land. Sometimes the meetings go long because everyone has a different idea about what to plant next. It’s a lot of back and forth. We just want to make sure the families here can keep going without too much stress from the middlemen. It is a slow process, getting everyone on the same page, but that is how it goes in a small town like this.
