J.P. Krushi Prakalp Farmers Producer

J.P. Krushi Prakalp Farmers Producer is located in the village of Jawala Panchal. We are centered at Sohel Khan Dawood Khan Pathan’s house, number 949. Most people around here just call it Sohel’s place. We aren't a big operation by any means. It’s just a few of us who decided to work together to see if we could get a better deal on seeds and equipment. Farming in this part of the country is a constant gamble with the rain. We spend a lot of time just talking about the sky and the soil. The house at 949 is usually full of people coming and going throughout the day. We don't have a receptionist or a fancy sign, but the kettle is usually on for whoever stops by. We try to keep track of what everyone is growing so we can plan things out better. It’s a lot of manual work and the office side of things is still a bit new to us. We make mistakes with the filing sometimes, and the internet isn't always reliable, but we get by. We just want to make sure that the people who do the actual work in the fields get to keep a bit more of what they earn. It’s not about getting rich; it’s just about being able to farm again next year. We stick together because it’s the only way to survive.
