Amrit Rice Mills

Amrit Rice Mills is located on Dadwan Road. If you’re driving by, you can’t miss the smell of toasted grain. It’s a scent that sticks to your clothes. We’ve been operating this mill for a good while now. The building is a bit weathered from the sun and the rain, but it’s sturdy. We spend a lot of time on maintenance. If you don't grease the parts, they start screaming at you. We handle a lot of different types of rice throughout the year. The sorting machine is probably the most important piece of equipment we have. It’s fascinating to watch it work, even after all these years. We have a small crew. We don't have any formal uniforms or anything like that. Just work clothes that get dirty fast. Sometimes the gate gets stuck so you have to give it a good kick to open it. We don't mind. It’s just one of those things. The office is mostly just a place to keep the logbooks and the phone. We prefer being out on the floor anyway. It’s where the real work happens. When the season is over, we spend a few weeks just deep cleaning everything. It’s a cycle. We’re used to it. The road out front is fairly busy, so we have to be careful when the tractors are turning in. It's just a regular local business doing what we do. No more, no less.
