Sant Duniyadas Maharaj Farmer Producercompany Limited

Our office for Sant Duniyadas Maharaj Farmer Producercompany Limited is actually at Shri Dattatraya Vinayakrao Deshmukh’s place. It’s in Raheri Bk., which is part of Sindkhed Raja in the Buldhana district. The village is small, so everyone knows where Dattatraya stays. We named it after the Maharaj because he’s important to people around here. Farming in Raheri is what most of us have done our whole lives. It’s not an easy job, especially when the rains are late, but having this company helps us stay organized. We mostly gather on the porch to discuss the fertilizers or which market in Buldhana is offering better rates. There’s a lot of paperwork involved in these producer companies, more than we expected, but we manage it between a few of us. Sindkhed Raja is quite a historic place, but for us, it’s just home. We aren't trying to change the world, just trying to make sure the farmers in our little corner of Raheri Bk. get a decent deal. Sometimes we have disagreements about what to plant next, but that’s just how it is when you have a lot of opinions. We use simple tools and follow the old ways mostly, with some new ideas mixed in. If you come by the village, just ask for the Deshmukh residence and you'll find where we do our business. It's a practical way to live.
