Barar Rice & General Mills

Barar Rice & General Mills is situated on Muktsar Road, right near the petrol pump. Having the pump so close is handy when the trucks need to fuel up before heading out on their routes. We have been operating here for a while and the place has a lot of character, mostly in the form of scratched paint and worn-down floorboards. It is a general mill, so we handle more than just rice depending on what the local farmers bring us during the harvest. The building is large and can get quite cold in the winter, so we all wear extra layers of wool while we work. In the summer, it is the opposite, and the metal roof makes it feel like an oven inside. We have a small area where we sit down for lunch, usually sharing whatever we brought from home in our tins. There is no fancy lobby or receptionist here. If you come by, you will likely find someone covered in a bit of dust near the loading dock. We do the work ourselves and try to stay on top of the constant repairs. The machines are old but reliable if you treat them right and keep them oiled. We don't bother with much else besides getting the grain processed and out the door. It is a practical way to spend the day. Every evening we sweep up the loose grains and check the locks, making sure everything is ready for the next day's work.
