Narindera Rice & General Mills

Narindera Rice & General Mills is located out on Mour Road. It is one of those places that feels very different depending on the time of year. During the off-season, it is quiet and we spend a lot of time painting the gates or oiling the parts of the machinery that do not get used much. But when the grain starts arriving, the whole place wakes up. The sound of the motors starting up in the morning is like an alarm clock for the neighborhood. Mour Road can get pretty congested with the trolleys, and we do our best to get them in and out without causing a big backup. There is a lot of dust in the air when the hoppers are full. We wear scarves over our faces to keep it out. It is hard work, standing on your feet and watching the grain flow. We have a small room where we keep a kettle for tea, and that is usually the busiest spot during the break. The walls are a bit stained from the weather over the years, but the building is solid. We do not really do much advertising because everyone around here knows where we are and what we do. It is just a steady business. We see the same farmers and the same truck drivers every season. It is just how life goes at a mill on Mour Road.
