Radhey Rice Mills

Radhey Rice Mills is located on Bhalwan Dhura Road, just a bit outside the main town area. It is one of those places where you always know what time of year it is by the amount of traffic on the road. When the season hits, the line of trailers goes on for quite a while. We spend a lot of our days just managing the flow of people coming in and out. The buildings aren't much to look at, just solid walls and the big sheds where the rice stays. We keep the gates open most of the day so the air can move, otherwise it gets too hot inside with all the machinery going. It’s a lot of manual labor, checking bags and moving things around. Sometimes the power goes out and everything goes quiet, which is a bit of a relief for the ears, but then we have to work twice as fast when it comes back on. My family has been around this area for a long time, and the mill is just part of the landscape now. We don’t do much advertising because everyone around Bhalwan Dhura Road already knows where we are. We just focus on getting the work done before the sun goes down. It is a simple operation, nothing fancy, just a lot of hard work and the same routine every single day. We like it that way because it is predictable.
