Amraukh Earth Jaiv Urja Farmer Producercompany Limited

Started by folks around Lahar Gird near the Panchayat Bhavan, Amraukh Earth Jaiv Urja Farmer Producercompany Limited is a local group. Ram Dev Yadav’s family has been in this area for a long while. We wanted to do something with jaiv urja because the old ways of farming were getting expensive and the soil needed a break. It is quite dusty out here in the Jhansi area, but the ground still gives if you treat it right. Most days involve sitting around our small office near the 51 address marker and figuring out which crops will work for the bio-energy projects we have going. It isn't a fancy setup at all. We have some papers, a few old desks, and a lot of farmers walking in with dirty boots after a day in the fields. The sun gets really hot in the afternoons, so we usually start our meetings very early. Our group is mostly neighbors who decided to pool their resources together. It took a bit of time to get all the producer company paperwork sorted out with the government. Sometimes the rain doesn't come when we need it, and that makes things tough for everyone. We talk a lot about soil health and keeping the earth productive for the next generation. People often stop by after visiting the Panchayat Bhavan just to see what we are doing. It is a slow process, building something from the dirt up. We are just making sure the farmers here get a fair deal.
