Tanamcherla Farmers Producer Company

You can find us in Tanamcherla at house 2-171. Tanamcherla Farmers Producer Company is basically a group of us from the village who decided to work together. We’ve all got our own patches of land, but we come to 2-171 to sort out the business side of things. It’s not a polished office. There’s usually some dirt on the floor and some old calendars on the wall. We talk about the crops, the seeds, and how much the fertilizer is costing us these days. It’s just plain talk between neighbors. We don’t have any marketing people or anyone like that. We just know the seasons. When it’s time to harvest, you won’t find anyone at the house because we are all out in the sun. We come back in the evenings to catch up. Sometimes the rains are good to us, and sometimes they aren't. We just deal with it. We share advice on what worked last year and what didn't. Most of the people around here have been farming for generations. It’s a hard way to live, but it’s what we know. We aren't looking for anything big, just trying to make sure the work we do in Tanamcherla pays off. It’s just a group of farmers trying to stay organized at 2-171. We keep our heads down and just do the work that needs doing every day.
