Vandaniya Balasaheb Thakrey Krushivikas Producer Company Limited

Vandaniya Balasaheb Thakrey Krushivikas Producer Company Limited is the name on our papers, but around here in Hatadihatadi, we are just the local folks working together. Our office, if you want to call it that, is actually at Bharat Shinde’s place. It’s located in the Jalna district, pin code 431203. It’s a simple spot where we meet up to discuss what we’re going to do with the crops each season. We don’t have a big shiny building with glass doors or anything. It is just a house in the village where we keep our registers and talk about the market. Dealing with farming in Jalna can be tough some years, especially when the rains don't come when they should. We figured that by putting our names together under this company, we might have a better shot at getting things done. We spend most of our time out in the fields anyway, so the office is mostly for when we have to sign something or talk to someone from the bank. It is hard work, and there are days when nothing seems to go right with the tractors or the prices, but we keep at it. We are just local people who know the soil here. Bharat keeps the place organized enough for us to function. If you ever find yourself in Hatadihatadi, you’ll see it’s a quiet place where people just mind their business and grow their food. We hope it stays that way.
