Rajureshwar Krushivikas Producer Company Limited

We are over in Jawkheda, which is part of the Bhokardan tehsil in Jalna district. The office, if you can call it that, is at Krishna Bhanudas Thombare’s house. Rajureshwar Krushivikas Producer Company Limited was put together by a few of us who were tired of working separately. We all grow similar things around here, and it made sense to group up. Jawkheda is a small place, so we see each other at the market or the temple anyway. We don't have fancy brochures or a marketing team. We just have our hands and our tractors. Some days are good, and the crops look healthy, and other days we’re worried about the lack of water. It's the life of a farmer, really. We spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to get our produce to the bigger towns without losing too much money on the way. The paperwork for the company can be a bit of a headache for us, as we’d rather be out in the sun. But we know it’s necessary to keep things official. We take it one day at a time. If the weather holds up, we do okay. We just want to make sure the farming stays viable for us and the younger guys coming up in the village. It's a simple life here in Jalna, and we are just trying to make it work.
