Haldwani Co Operative Agricultural Supplier Society Ltd.

Down here on Kaladugi Road, things get pretty busy, especially around Shop No-21 where we are. Being the Haldwani Co Operative Agricultural Supplier Society, we see a lot of people coming in from the nearby farms. Most of the time, the floor is covered in a bit of dirt from the boots coming in, but that is just how it is when you deal with agricultural stuff. We have stacks of bags everywhere and the smell of seeds is always in the air. It is a loud place because everyone wants to talk at once about their crops or the weather. We try to keep things organized, but sometimes the ledgers get a bit messy during the peak season. It is just a few of us running the show, and we have known most of the local families for years. We don't have a computer system that works all the time, so we still write a lot of things down by hand in the big green books. The tea guy comes by at eleven and that is usually the only quiet time we get. It isn't a corporate office with air conditioning and fancy lights. It is just a workspace where we try to get the farmers what they need so they can get back to their fields before the sun gets too high. It is hard work and the hours are long during planting season, but it is just what we do to keep the community going.
