Srbg Shetkari Farmer Producer Company Limited

Down in Helgaon, Karad, we have our small setup at house number 77. Srbg Shetkari Farmer Producer Company Limited is what we call it on the official papers, but to everyone around here, we are just the neighbors who farm. Satara has always been home for us, and the soil here keeps us busy all year round. We started this because we felt that doing things as a group made more sense than trying to handle everything alone. It is mostly just us sitting together after the day's work is done to figure out what needs to happen next. We deal with the seeds and the harvest right from here. It isn't always easy to keep track of all the rules and the climate changes, but we manage. Some days are slow and we just wait for the rain, while other days everyone is rushing around the Karad area getting things sorted. The building isn't anything special, just a regular house where we keep our records and talk to the other farmers. We don't go in for big speeches or fancy plans. We just want to make sure that the crops are okay and that we can keep the business going for another season. Being part of the Satara district means we have a lot of local pride in what we grow. People come by Helgaon to ask about planting or to see what the latest news is from the markets. We just keep our heads down and work.
