Shekhpura Farmers Producer Company

We are based out of Khalsa 22 in Shekhpura. It is a small community and everyone knows everyone else’s business here. A group of us farmers decided that we could do more if we worked as one company. It is not a big operation with a lobby or anything like that. We mostly just meet up at the designated spot to talk about the grain and the prices. Being in Shekhpura means we are close to our fields, which makes things easier. Some days we are out there until the sun goes down, and other days we are sitting inside trying to make sense of the new regulations. We don't have a lot of fancy equipment in the office. It is mostly just us, some notebooks, and our phones. The work is hard, but it is what we know how to do. We grew up watching our parents do the same thing. Now we are just trying to do it a bit differently by staying organized as a producer company. It takes a lot of cooperation, and sometimes we don't agree on everything, but we work it out. That is just how it is with local folks. We are just here in Shekhpura, doing the work that needs to be done. There is no point in pretending to be anything other than what we are.
