Bhairav Baba Farmer Producer Company Limited

We started Bhairav Baba Farmer Producer Company Limited over here in Badle Simnapur because farming alone was getting harder every year. Rajendra let us use his place as the main spot to meet up in Ghatampur. If you come down to our village in Kanpur Dehat, you’ll see mostly paddy and wheat fields stretching out. We are just a bunch of local guys who decided that instead of going to the big markets separately, we should just pool our resources. It took some time to get the paperwork right, but now we handle stuff together. Usually, you can find someone at the office around mid-morning after the first round of field work is done. We talk about what seeds are working and who has a tractor available. It’s not a fancy office, just a room where we keep some logs and sit on plastic chairs. The sun gets really hot in this part of Uttar Pradesh, so we try to get most things moved before noon. Sometimes the rains are late and we have to sit and figure out the water situation. We don’t have any big corporate backing or anything like that. It’s just us trying to make sure the crops get sold for a fair price so the families here can keep going. Most of the folks in the village know where we are, right by Rajendra’s house. We just do our work and hope the season is good to us.
