Ganeshmadhu Badhala Farmers Producer

We're out here in Shrirampura, a small spot in the Jaipur area, working from the place where Manaram Jat stays. He’s the son of Ratan Lal Jat, and we’ve been using this location to run our farmers producer group for a while now. It's not a fancy setup with desks and glass windows, just a room where we get together to talk about the fields and the crops. Rajasthan heat can be pretty rough on the soil, so we spend most of our time figuring out how to keep things growing. We handle seeds and whatever else the local farmers need to get their season started. It’s mostly manual work, honestly. We aren’t really business people in the way you see on TV. We just know the land and what it needs. Sometimes we sit around for hours just discussing the price of bajra or wheat. People from the village stop by all the time with questions or just to share some news. We try to keep things simple and honest. There’s a lot of paperwork that we have to deal with, which none of us really likes, but we get it done eventually. We're just a bunch of people from the community trying to make the farm work a bit more organized. It’s slow going sometimes and we make our share of mistakes, but we just keep at it every single day.
