Bhumikanya Agritech Farmer Producer Company Limited

Over in Babhali, which is part of the Biloli tehsil, we have our small setup for Bhumikanya Agritech Farmer Producer Company Limited. It’s at Mahendra Maroti Tukde’s place, number 115. We call ourselves an agritech company, but at the end of the day, we are just farmers. We spend most of our time out in the heat or the rain, depending on the month. Biloli is a quiet area where most people are doing the same thing we are. We started this group because we wanted to see if we could use some better tools and methods. It’s not always easy to change how you’ve done things for twenty years. We have some meetings at the house in Babhali to figure out who is planting what. It’s a lot of talking about seeds and water. We don't have a receptionist or a fancy website. It is just Mahendra and the rest of us sitting around. Sometimes we disagree on things, but we always work it out because we are neighbors. The land here is what keeps us going. We are trying to be smart about how we farm while staying true to the village. It is a long process and we take it slow. Just a group of local people trying to do right by the land and each other. We focus on our chores and the next crop.
