Sukhdev Rice Mills

Our mill is tucked away in Village Nodhrani. If you find the Sidhu Poultry Farm, you are basically there, we are just right next to it. Sukhdev Rice Mills is a local operation through and through. The smell of the farm next door is something you just learn to live with after a couple of days of working here. We mostly handle the rice from the surrounding fields. It’s a busy place during harvest, with tractors lining up all the way down the lane. The rest of the year it’s a bit quieter and we spend our time cleaning the equipment and fixing the bags. My father Sukhdev started this place and we just kept the name because everyone knows it. We don't have any big offices or fancy computers here. Most of our records are just written down in big ledgers. We have a few workers who live right here in the village and walk to work every morning. It's a simple life, honestly. We get the paddy, we process it, and we send it out. Sometimes the weather doesn't cooperate and we have to wait for the grain to dry out more before we can start. We don't worry too much about being the best or the fastest, we just want to do the job right so people come back next season. It's been working for us so far.
