Bagampriyal Paddy Farmers Producer Company Limited

If you look for us in Thiruvadanai Taluk, you will find Bagampriyal Paddy Farmers Producer Company Limited over at 205, 4th Street in Bharathi Nagar. We are mostly focused on paddy because that is what grows best around here. Growing rice takes a lot of water and a lot of patience. A few of us farmers decided that instead of everyone trying to figure things out on their own, we should put our heads together. The office is just a simple room where we keep our logs and talk about the harvest. We spend most of our time out in the fields, not sitting behind a desk. Thiruvadanai can be a tough place to farm when the rain doesn't come at the right time. We talk about the price of paddy and where to get the best seeds for the next season. It’s a lot of hard work, getting mud on your boots and staying out in the sun all day. We are not some big corporation from the city. We are just local people who know the soil here in Bharathi Nagar. Sometimes the crops are great, and sometimes they aren't, but that is just how farming goes. We use our 4th Street spot to organize the trucks and make sure everyone gets their fair share when the rice is sold. It’s a straightforward way of working together to keep the farms going for the next generation. We just keep our heads down and do the work that needs doing.
