New Tanay Agro

New Tanay Agro is sitting right on Dhanakawadi Cross Road at A/55. You can usually tell you are close because of the smell of fertilizer and bags of seeds stacked up near the entrance. It is a practical kind of place, nothing fancy about it. We have big heavy bags that we move around all morning, so the floor stays pretty muddy during the rainy season. Most of the folks who come in are local farmers or people with small gardens nearby. We keep the registers and books on a wooden desk that has been here since we opened. Sometimes the light flickers in the back room where we keep the tools and the larger sprayers. It’s a lot of work keeping track of what seeds are in season, so there are always lists taped to the walls. We don't have a lot of room for people to stand around, especially when a shipment of compost comes in. The door at A/55 squeaks every time someone walks through it, but we never got around to oiling it. We spend our days talking about the weather and soil quality because that is what matters to the people on Dhanakawadi Cross Road. It’s just us here, trying to keep the shelves stocked and the inventory right. It gets tiring but seeing things grow makes it feel like we are doing something okay. I usually forget where I put my glasses among all the seed packets.
