Jithender Farms

Life out here in Nagurlapally is mostly about the rhythm of the seasons and the weather. We are located at house number 1-149/1, which is a bit of a walk from the main part of Madannapet. Farming isn’t an easy thing, especially with the way the rain has been lately. We spend most of our mornings out in the fields before the sun gets too high and makes everything unbearable. There is always a fence to fix or a tractor that needs a bit of grease. In Warangal, you learn to just deal with whatever the day throws at you. We grow what we can and hope for a decent harvest at the end of it. The dirt gets under your fingernails and stays there no matter how much you wash. It’s quiet out here compared to the town, which is nice most of the time. We don’t have a big office or anything, just the land and the sheds for the equipment. Sometimes neighbors come over to talk about the price of seeds or the pests they’re seeing. It’s a simple existence, really. We get up, we work the land, and we go to bed tired. That’s been the way for a long time now. Narsampet is where we go for supplies when we run out of things. It's just a farm run by people who know the soil and don't mind the hard work it takes.
