Shramankur Agro Farmers Producer Company Limited

Out here in Chaugaon, things usually start pretty early before the sun gets too hot. Our place is at G.No.177 in Baglan, Nashik. Most of us have been working these same fields since we were kids, and Shramankur Agro Farmers Producer Company Limited is just what we call ourselves now that we're trying to do things together. It isn’t some big office with shiny glass doors. It’s mostly just us sitting around under a tree or in the shed talking about the rains and the price of seeds. Nashik weather is usually okay, but some years are tougher than others when the monsoon doesn't show up like it’s supposed to. We got registered because it seemed like a good way to help each other out with equipment and stuff. Nobody here is a professional writer or anything, we’re just farmers. Sometimes the paperwork gets a bit confusing, but we manage. People know where to find us if they need to talk about crops or if they’re looking for what we’ve grown this season. We spend a lot of time checking on the soil and making sure the water reaches the right spots. It's a lot of physical work, honestly. My hands are usually dirty by noon. We don't have a fancy website or a big marketing team, just the land and our tools. If you're ever driving through Baglan, you'll see the fields and maybe someone from the group working near the road. We just try to keep things moving day by day.
